So if you're a big fan of this inversion part of aerial yoga and all the amazing things it does for your spine and hips, here's how to recreate it at home with just a block.
I recommend a cork block as they are much more stable. If you're using a foam block do be a bit careful as they can be more wobbly. Or you could use the foam block on its lowest height. A very low-rigged hammock can also be reproduced with lowest-height block.
Take time to work out where it feels right to have the block under you. For me, I start with it under my hips and then move lower to under my tailbone for the big back bend. But of course different bodies have different needs. Try low block, different positions etc to give yourself time to work it out.
If you'd like to see more of this kind of stuff - aerial yoga skills and poses for people without a hammock - in my online subscription classes, do let me know! :-)
If you've got an aerial hammock at home, I currently offer a range of online aerial yoga classes and private sessions.
