Suspend and Tone with AntiGravity Yoga

Hidden within the concrete land of high-fashion, celebrities, socialites and body conscious health-nuts spend on average five days a week seeking innovative ways to keep their bodies lean, healthy, and camera ready. In 2006, we traveled to Crunch on Hollywood Blvd. for a cardio-striptease (strip aerobics; high heels, pole and all) that was guaranteed to chisel definition into the abdominal and frequented by the likes of Carmen Electra. Hilary Swank and Jennifer Lopez prepped for films using Israel’s reigning martial art and self-defense method that packs a super powerful punch: Krav Maga (now used by U.S. intelligence.) We can learn a lot about fitness from the entertainment industry – they are the masters and the holy grail of every trainer on earth. This brings us to another niche body-modification courtesy of the Om Factory in Manhattan: AntiGravity Yoga.

Traditional yoga requires endless hours of practice to complete advanced inverted positions properly. Practicing postures properly is crucial because extending your limbs and spine beyond your capability level can cause severe and long-term damage to your body. With AntiGravity yoga, you can explore movement without the burden of gravity. Suspended from the ceiling in the patented AntiGravity Hammock, the student can focus on difficult yoga postures while incorporating other effective techniques of dance, pilates, and aerobic activity. AntiGravity Yoga provides a challenging and effective workout that realigns and relieves stress from an overworked body with minimal impact on joints. Not only does Gravity yoga provide a non-brutal and unobtrusive workout, it rivals one of the fitness-industries best core workouts… ever-popular pilates.

The phenomenon developed by Christopher Harrison of NYC has been used in many celebrity stage acts and fitness-goers alike. Learn more about taking AntiGravityYoga class with creator Christopher Harrison at the Om Factory in NYC.
