Full Moon in Pisces energy…

Two fish, floating in opposite directions, forever connected by a cord.

Your body listens to what flows through your mind.
Your mind listens to what flows through your body.

And the vagus nerve is the living cord connecting mind, body, breath, and sensation.

This practice invites you to feel whole again through movement, rhythm and breath.

Who’s a fellow Pisces ♓️ here?

From high-hammock stretching and conditioning to restorative low-hammock work, Sunday Yoga Trapeze at Yoga 4 Everybody can be whatever your body needs.

Yoga Trapeze meets you where you are and builds from there.

Every class is beginner-friendly, with:
- Deep stretching + mobility
- Variations for different levels
- Strength + conditioning
- Plenty of play and fun
- Guided cocoon relaxation to finish

Come as you are. Find your edge. Rest when you need to. And, of course… fly.

What most active women need more of in midlife is recovery.

If you exercise regularly but still feel exhausted, achy, stiff, or like your joints are constantly asking for a break, or you’re struggling with unwanted weight changes, it may be time to look at how you recover.

In midlife, your body needs more time and support to recover from physical stress. And when exercise is layered onto an already stressed system without enough recovery, you may end up feeling depleted rather than stronger.

Recovery isn’t doing nothing. It’s building sustainable strength and resilience in the body.

Yoga trapeze can be a beautiful recovery tool, using gentle decompression to create space in the body and, when combined with ball gliding techniques, support deeper myofascial release.

I now offer private Glide, Release & Restore sessions using the low hammock at Saltsanctuaryct in Milford.

Message me or comment and I’ll send you the details.

How do I train my brain for balance? By throwing it off the familiar grooves and making it work harder to figure out where my body is in space (proprioception). I get dizzy from spinning in case you’re wondering. With practice through, the brain learns to adapt. I work with the swivel, which spins the hammock, little by little. Have you tried spinning? Do you get dizzy?

Will she or won’t she flip into the angel pose?
Have you tried it yet? The hammock must be in front of your face when you flip.

Yesterday, I flew back from New Orleans after dropping off my daughter to college. After two flights, this is the one I was looking forward to. It took 5 minutes to decompress the spine, stretch the legs, and release neck tension.

Save it for your post-travel decompression and share with your flying friends.
Happy travels!

Open Hammock Dancer, Part 2
You may be floating,
but these variations are really a test of strength, mobility & control.

These two floating variations build on the foundations from Part 1.

Variation 1: Both hands on the single middle handle, increasing the demand on shoulder strength, stability, and hip mobility.

Variation 2: Both hands on the single high handle, requiring even more shoulder mobility, flexibility, strength, and control while maintaining alignment through the entire body.

Notice that both hands stay on a single handle. While using two handles might seem logical, one handle actually creates better shoulder alignment and encourages the body to work as one connected system.

These poses may look effortless, but they’re the result of developing:
✨ shoulder stability
✨ upper back mobility
✨ hip flexibility
✨ core integration
✨ body awareness

If you missed Part 1, start there first. The foundations make all the difference.

Let me know if you try any of the four open hammock dancer variations from part 1 and 2.

Aerial Yoga + Salt Therapy?

Imagine floating in a hammock while breathing therapeutic-grade Himalayan salt, gently dispersed throughout the room.

✨ Your body softens.
✨ Your mind becomes quiet.
✨ Your breathing feels easier.
✨ Your skin and sinuses get extra support.
✨ You leave feeling deeply restored.

This is the magic of combining aerial yoga with halotherapy, and I’m so excited to bring this unique experience to Milford, CT this September.

Our beautiful salt sanctuary is rigged for just 6 hammocks, creating an intimate experience with plenty of personal attention.

Founding Flight members will receive first access and a special introductory rate before registration opens to the public.

Join the waitlist through the link in comments.

Comment SALT if you’re ready to fly in the salt room.

Open Hammock Dancer, Part 1
These two foundational variations help create the mobility and stability you’ll need before progressing to more advanced open hammock floating dancer poses.

Variation 1: Feet on the ground to gently open the hips and shoulders while exploring the shape.

Variation 2: Floating on the low handles to build shoulder stability, control, and body awareness.

This sequence is especially meaningful to me because I wasn’t blessed with naturally open shoulders or a bendy upper back. Years ago, after attempting a wheel pose on the ground, I ended up with a minor shoulder injury that still took time to heal.

Since discovering aerial yoga and yoga trapeze, I’ve been able to gradually strengthen my shoulders, improve my upper back mobility, and develop stability and control through my entire shoulder girdle. The support of the hammock allowed me to build confidence without forcing my body into positions it wasn’t ready for.

That’s why I love these foundational movements. They may look simple, but they’re where resilient, capable movement begins.

✨ Tomorrow I’ll share two more advanced Open Hammock Floating Dancer variations.

Which version would you try first—the grounded variation or the floating one?
