Aerial yoga

[1] Fly Yoga was developed in France in 2009 by Florie Ravinet in collaboration with a physical therapist, and has been "approved by health professionals".

[4] Aerial yoga requires a special kind of hammock, a prop designed to support up to 300 kilograms on average.

The rig typically consists of support chains, a webbing strap, a silk hammock and carabiners.

Two support chains hang from the ceiling to less than one meter above ground level, and the hammock is connected at the height set by the user.

[9] Aerial yoga poses include the cross position, leaning back with support just above the waist, arms outspread;[10] the star inversion, the hammock supporting the tailbone with the body bending backwards; and the one-legged king pigeon pose, like the star inversion but with one foot hooked across the front of the hammock.
