Aerial/anti-gravity yoga

空中瑜伽/反重力瑜伽

Many yogis struggle with advanced poses like the headstand or handstand. But now, anti-gravity yoga means such challenges are easily overcome. With a silk hammock suspended from the ceiling, this style allows participants to stretch further and hold positions longer.

像头倒立、手倒立这样的高难度瑜伽动作令很多练习者做起来很吃力。但是现在，随着空中瑜伽的出现，这些动作变得小菜一碟。通过悬挂于天花板的丝质吊床，这种瑜伽可以更好地伸展肢体，保持同一姿势的时间也变得更持久。

Whether flying through the air freely or forming a cocoon to find a state of zen, aerial yoga is fun and energetic. Being suspended helps decompress tight joints, promote blood flow, and relieve pressure.

不论是在空中自由飞翔还是在封闭空间参禅入定，你都能感受到空中瑜伽的趣味和活力。悬挂式的练习有利于舒缓关节压力，促进血液循环以及减压。

Invented by Christopher Harrison, an American acrobat and gymnast in 1996, the anti-gravity fitness craze swept the US around 2012 and spread to Europe soon after. US actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who once wrote about practicing anti-gravity yoga on her blog, is one of the many crazy fans.

空中瑜伽由美国杂技演员兼体操运动员里斯托夫?哈里森于1996年创立，2012年风靡全美，之后传入欧洲。美国著名女演员格温妮丝?帕特洛便是空中瑜伽的忠实爱好者之一，她曾经在博客中讲述了自己练习空中瑜伽的经历。
