Get fit with anti-gravity yoga

“It’s a fusion of dance, calisthenics, palates, and yoga. You’ll get stretching, cardio, and the benefits of decompression of spine through the inversions,” says AntiGravity School Director, Jennifer Drabik-Pierce.

You spend a lot of time upside down.

“This is an interesting position I am in as you can see. It’s really working my lower back. It doesn’t hurt at all,” says student Javier Rolon.

“Everyday when you sit at your desk, you really do compress your spine. So your joints become one on top of the other. Going upside down with these inversions actually pulls them apart and puts space back in there. It lengthens your spine. In your first class, you come out feeling really tall,” says AntiGravity School Director, Tammy Zarb.

Anti-gravity yoga is not recommended for anyone with glaucoma or spinal injuries.
