Anti Gravity Yoga Article


How the Hell Did I Get in This Position ....


Here's a great way to get phsycially fit or just feel like Spiderman or a member of the Chinese Olympic team.

My wife is a big gym class goer. There is almost nothing she won't venture to do.

Bellydance, kickboxing, pole dance you name it she loves it(she's featured in the pole dancing promo video and no I will not be telling you which one she is), but she was really thrilled about anti-gravity yoga at Crunch Gym in NYC.

To me it looks to me like an S&M club designed by Cirque cu Soleil, but my wife swears by it; and she's taken gym classes 4 or 5 times a week for years.

Dubbed anti-gravity yoga by its founder former gymnast Christopher Harrison, it's part acrobatics, body conditioning, Pilates and gymnastics.

“It’s different from any other workout” my wife Gabby says. It seems easy but it's quite strenuous.

You use a fabric that you grab and swing from, and sometimes hang upside down from. It's not for the faint of heart or the easily dizzy.

If the Madhatter ride at Disney gives you fits like it does me, watch out here.

Gabby advises that you let go and trust yourself when you’re hanging and flipping around in mid air and you’ll have a great time. If you want an invigorating workout that gives you length and strength, go for it.
