• HISTORY
Traditional yoga asana in suspended form has been performed for thousands of years, although “Aerial Yoga Play™” was created by Jen Healy with all original names and sequences that make up the unique, innovative, and fun experience it is, as well as making her own version of the equipment- the AYRx Yoga Swings. We have developed the framework for teaching and integrating ancient yogic practices into an effective, well strategized, user-friendly method.
• THE SWING
The equipment we use for this practice is called an “AYRx Yoga Swing.” Please use this name ONLY in referring to the vehicle for transformation that is used for the training and classes.
There are many other types of equipment on the market. This high quality deluxe design by Jen Healy is locally manufactured in SF with great care and attention to detail. No other equipment can be used properly for this practice. It doesn’t “translate” well because this swing is engineered and designed with superior materials that are more comfortable and fitting to the body based in the mathematics of sacred geometry. The leg loops and hand holds are absolutely necessary to practice this form of “Suspension Training.”
• THE PRACTICE (AYP)
The practice consists of all original names and sequences designed by Jen Healy for the AYRx Yoga Swing. It is essential that these names and sequences are followed during the teaching of classes. They are specifically designed to heal and open the body by releasing tension/contraction when followed with the alignment principles given.
Aerial Yoga Play takes a completely holistic approach to fitness, helping your mind, body, and spirit. It is a combination of yoga, dance, Pilates, TRX, acrobatic, and aerial fitness rolled into one amazing suspended fun and therapeutic experience!
AYRx Yoga Swings support you so you can hang, stretch, twist and pull in space. Sculpt your body in the air as you tone muscles while increasing strength and flexibility. We call it the “accidental workout” because it is fitness and fun all in one.
Aerial Yoga Play combines the benefits of strength and balance found in traditional yoga with the unique conditioning of suspension training. Our AYRx Yoga Swings can be used in gyms, group fitness, yoga classes, aerial arts studios, sports medicine centers, martial arts studios, as well as a physical therapy tool, in gymnastics, at home and more…the possibilities are endless!
• THERAPEUTIX (AYRx)
AYRx (AerialYogaRx) is the latest expression of therapeutics applied to the AerialYogaPlay practice. It is specifically designed to address injury, illness, and health concerns with the poses and sequences learned in the AYP program. It is safe and effective for every level of experience and age. You will be amazed at how powerful and efficinet this practice is for relieving lower back pain and releasing body tension.
