Yoga Suspenso®

Sorry, this entry is only available in PT.

Yoga Suspenso®

As the name suggests, Yoga Suspenso is a practice where lifting has another meaning. The postures are developed using a fabric  suspended from both ends (in the form of a swing). With clear benefits for the body and mind, this modality integrates 4 distinct pillars:

Hatha Yoga: Execution of the characteristic positions of the Hatha Yoga practice, with the support of the fabric, allowing for greater safety and the intensification of each position according to the practitioner’s capacity. Physical Conditioning: Development of muscular strength, flexibility, balance and proprioception.

Aerial Acrobatics: Integrates the capacities developed in the previous pillars, adding the mental and physical challenge of aerial acrobatics.

Restorative: The use of the fabric in a therapeutic way, promoting general well-being and the interiorization of consciousness. Suspended Yoga was developed by Rui Oliveira Costa. As it is a constant challenge to our capacity to overcome, it is divided into different technical levels.

Level 1: You learn to interact with the fabric safely and develop confidence in the practice of inverted suspension. Anyone can start this practice and will progressively feel results in muscle strengthening, joint decompression, stretching, relaxation and concentration. Level 2: If you already know how to do inverts in suspension and feel comfortable with techniques performed on top of the tissue, you will be challenged to perform more dynamic techniques and work on staying in the positions. You can now learn to master the passages between positions as well as the entrances and exits of the equipment.

Please note: We advise all students to consult with the School to determine the most suitable technical level for them.

Maximum number of students: 11 (1 per equipment).

Lyra

This is an open level class, suitable for both beginners and more experienced lyra students.
The Lyra’s special feature is to provide rotation in the air on its support axis and to exercise continuous circular movements.

Participants will have the opportunity to become familiar with the apparatus, explore basic aerial acrobatics techniques, experiment with the rotation dynamics that the apparatus offers, create small choreographic sequences and work on the improvisation of aerial movement.

Maximum number of students: 10.

Rope

Rope is a sport which uses a rope suspended vertically where movements demonstrating agility, flexibility and strength are performed. that characterizes it most, are the dynamic movements.
The dynamic technique on the rope is based on movements such as swings, pirouettes, transitions and rotations in the air.
In this type of class the student will learn the correct body posture for balancing, hanging and other movements of a dynamic nature, as well as learning how to perform figures, falls and descents specific to flat rope.

Classes are open to all levels.

Maximum number of students: 7.
