Studio South Fitness' luxury personal training and fitness studio on Palm Avenue in the heart of Sarasota has a spa-like feel that complements the facilities’ latest equipment and fitness offerings. The studio offers a large selection of exciting and challenging group classes including HIIT, TRX, Barre Fusion, Aerial Yoga, Spin and more.  Our friends at Studio South have provided us with 5 reasons to try out their fabulous Aerial Yoga classes. 1. You don’t have to be a gymnast to do it: Everyone can enjoy the weightless sensation of Aerial Yoga. It's a relatively low-intensity workout and the more challenging moves can be modified to accommodate different skill levels. 2. You’ll improve your sense of body position and balance: Aerial Yoga uses a silk hammock to support the weight of the body. The movement of the hammock causes your body to make small adjustments constantly, honing the way your body refines its movements.  Practitioners of Aerial Yoga have reported an increase in their ability to move fluidly and an improvement in their performance of other physical activities. 3. You’ll increase your Zen Factor: One of the great benefits of yoga is the calming effect it has on the mind. With the use of the aerial hammock, the body is soothed with a gentle rocking motion. These motions can synchronize the two sides of the brain and have been linked to an increase in theta brain waves which are related to deep meditation. 4. It’s good to mix it up:  Trying new things can inspire a sense of wonder and amazement in your own potential and ability. Wonder keeps us young. Stepping away from old routines can help to build confidence. 5. You’ll feel like a kid again: If you have fond childhood memories of hanging from trees or reaching for the sky on the swing-set - get ready to relive your past! With Aerial Yoga you can learn to fly. Who knew that something so good for you could be so much fun?
