description Aerial Yoga Inversion Overview
An aerial yoga inversion is an upside-down posture performed with support from a suspended fabric hammock or sling. It differs from a mat-based inversion because the apparatus carries some or all of the practitioner's weight and can assist the transition into an inverted position. The practice is relevant to aerial-yoga students working on balance, body awareness, and flexibility, but it requires equipment that is properly installed and instruction appropriate to the participant's experience.
