Saturday Night Flight At Our Place Studio

Published by:

One Saturday each month, Our Place will be hosting a new class: Saturday Night Flight! Aerial Yoga is about fitness and fun, swinging and playing (in the ways that make you sweat), but it’s also a call to creative self-expression through graceful poses and transitions and dance on a silky sling in the air.
Combining elements of Aerial Yoga and Aerial Sling/Hammock, you’ll learn a simple and sweetly fabulous (and definitely a little sassy) choreography. Each month will feature a different theme/song. This month’s theme is “Disco” and our students will be taking flight to the groovy and dance-making sounds of our fave Swedish band, ABBA and “Dancing Queen.” After the dance, there’s a little Bubbly to aid in winding down and, well, because we loooove bubbly 😀 For those who prefer their post-dance enjoyment to be non-alcoholic, please advise, and some lovely, locally brewed kombucha will be available, as well.

July Saturday Night Flight takes place on Saturday July 8, 2017 from 5 – 6:30 p.m. Cost: $38/person, Limited to five students, reservations required.
Payment accepted: cash, check or credit card via paypal to yoga_liz@bellsouth.net (Please don’t forget the underscore between ‘yoga’ and ‘liz’!). For paypal, please add an additional $2 to cover paypal’s fee. Thank you!

Acro Yoga at Our Place Studio

Published by:

What is Acro Yoga?  Acro Yoga is a physical practice which combines yoga and acrobatics.
There are now many schools of AcroYoga.  The original two schools were Acroyoga Montreal and Acroyoga Inc. Acroyoga Montreal was founded by Jessie Goldberg and Eugene Poku in 1999 combining acrobatics, yoga and dance.  Acroyoga Inc., began in San Francisco in 2006, founded by Jason Nemer and Jenny Klein.  This practice blends acrobatics, yoga and healing arts.  Both schools offer teaching certifications, and despite some differences have many similar poses while using gravity to promote strengthening and stretching.
AcroYoga may provide physical and mental health benefits.  In addition to the exercise and strength building aspects of AcroYoga the partner balancing can improve concentration and the massage elements can provide stress relief.  (Thanks, Wiki!)

This two hour workshop will be led by certified Acro Revolution teachers, Rebecca Solomon and Jill Tatarski, from New Orleans.  We are so excited to have these talented ladies share their knowledge with us!
We will explore partner inversions and practice safe spotting techniques.

Benefits of Aerial Yoga For Kids

Published by:

by Liz Bragdon, Instructor at Our Place Studio

Aerial Yoga has many of the same benefits as traditional Yoga, whether you’re an adult or a child – such as improving strength, coordination, balance, flexibility, and mindfulness.  In Aerial Yoga, you are practicing with a synthetic “silk” hammock rigged to two points in the ceiling.  The hammock is super-strong, lightly stretchy, doesn’t touch the ground, and, of course, it moves.  So practicing with it generates an entirely different experience of the various poses and movement activities.  It’s a fun, exhilarating challenge that benefits your mind and body in myriad ways.  In Aerial Yoga, you….
Engage Attention and Focus
Improve Fine and Gross Motor Skills
Engage Motor Planning Pathways
Engage Tactile and Proprioceptive Input:  when you grasp, stretch, push, pull, roll, etc. along the hammock you get tactile and proprioceptive input through your entire body.  Skin is our largest sense organ.
“So when you engage in an activity that stimulates your entire body, the receptors in your skin are sending a ton of feedback to your brain, which can be calming or alerting.”
Engage Vestibular System:  you may spin, flip upside down, rock, swing – all motions that engage and benefit the vestibular system.
“Information from the eyes, ears, and vestibular system (balance & movement) combine to give an awareness of yourself in relation to the space around you…All of this information is then filtered through your brain and then your brain provides a response.  This affects your arousal, motor and language responses…
It has been said that Olympic athletes or people who are constantly moving and putting their body or senses through new experiences have the best developed vestibular systems.”
Building Self-Esteem and Confidence – Have Fun!
