Beginners Aerial Yoga
occurs on: Thursdays 6pm
£60 / 6 week course: Jan 4th - Feb 8th
time: 6-7pm
Learn the beautiful practice of Aerial Yoga in the new year with this 6 week course.
Aerial yoga builds strength, flexibility and Grace. It’s traditional yoga but using a silk hammock which enables deeper stretches, builds greater core strength and makes advanced yoga postures more accessible (such as going upside down).
It’s great for releasing tension in the shoulders, spine and mind!
You will flow through sequences that build flexibility, strength, balance and focus and then enjoy a relaxation laying in the hammock for ultimate peace of mind. If you have any questions email Emma at emmabebliss@outlook.com
This course is taught by Mandala Studio Director, Emma Lowther-Wright.

Yes, aerial yoga is the perfect class for beginners because every movement is clearly described and demonstrated, you have the hammock for support and you don't need to be able to sit on the floor.
Yes, I love Aerial Yoga because their are options for advanced versions of postures and inversions. It's also a lovely complement to other forms of yoga because it enables us to work on pulling strength, which we don't get in other forms of yoga and on our core.
Parking is free on the roads outside the studio from 5:30pm
Aerial yoga has a decompressive effect on the spine and shoulders and provides a feeling of lightness and ease.
The hammock is also great for strength, because you lose your point of stability and you begin to engage your muscles, especially those in your lower abdomen, immediately without even realising it.
The respiratory and digestive systems are improved through increased blood circulation.
Yoga in general and aerial yoga, in particular, is beneficial for emotional and psychological due to the support of the hammock and the gentle rocking motion.

Absolutely not, options are given for every movement. So you can upside if you want and Emma will support you, or you can take the other options offered for that movement.
T-shirts or long sleeved tops must be worn (vest tops are not suitable). Leggings or jogging bottoms. Socks are a good idea for the meditation at the start and end of class in cooler weather.
IAerial Yoga is relaxing for the mind but it also works the body. The relaxing element comes from the slower paced rhythm, the rocking motion of the hammock and the support of the hammock BUT the work comes from the option to work more deeply on strength and balance. We also have the option to integrate core and pulling work which is challenging, but only as challenging as you choose.
Almost everyone can practice Aerial Yoga. As with all yoga classes we do recommend you consult your Doctor before joining the class if you have a medical condition.
We especially recommend speaking to your Dr if you have a heart condition, inner ear condition, spinal conditions and eye conditions such as glaucoma.

Aerial Yoga at Mandala is very safe. We employed a structural engineer and rigging professional to design our rigging support and to calculate the appropriate spacing. We use the highest quality equipment from the silks to the supports.

about the Teacher
Emma Lowther-Wright: Studio Director
Hi, I'm Emma and I am very fortunate to have been trained to teach Ashtanga Yoga by world-renowned John Scott. John is one of the key teachers who brought Ashtanga yoga from India to Europe. Often referred to as 'Preston's yoga teacher' I am honoured to teach yoga to 150-200 people every week!
I am dedicated to and immersed in the Ashtanga practice and continue to travel to study with senior 500hr international teachers including Eddie Stern, Scott Johnson, Lucy Crawford-Scott and Greg Nardi.
I teach with an emphasis on clear communication, empowerment, joy and compassion. I am especially interested in the neuroscience of yoga, how yoga can release physically held mental and emotional tension and how yoga can help us to live with greater joy, confidence and ease.
As well as studio classes I work within the community teaching in workplaces and education settings and to members of our community with physical and mental health challenges including those with deafness, who use a wheelchair and have cognitive challenges.
My classes are heart-lifting, empowering, flowing dances to the rhythm of the breath. I share movement and meditation practices with kindness, encouragement and joy - I hope to welcome you to a class soon.
