First Class (Antigravity Yoga)

Upon returning to the city I started researching what was offered in the area. I really wanted to take Forrest Yoga and there were only 3 places that offered it, one being Om Factory. Upon checking out the Om factory schedule I stumbled upon this class called anit-gravity yoga. Om factory is really cool, they offer an ecletic array of classes from Acro-Yoga to Yoga Fight Club (can't wait to try that-almost peed my pants when I saw it). I had heard about this anti-gravity class on the news about 3 years ago and remembered that it looked kinda fun. The Anti-Gravity class is done in a hammock. I know it sounds totally weird but its really interesting. With the use of the hammock you can do inversions much easier, its like being a kid on the monkey bars. While it didn't feel like much of a workout while I was in the class I have never experienced such a high after a yoga class in my life. Because you have the support of the hammock your spine elongates in ways that just don't seem humanly possible. I have never done a spinal twist while hanging upside down. The class ends with savasana in a hammock. Its very similar to being wrapped in a cocoon. With all the lengthning I think you just get this unbelievable rush of relaxing energy. The studio is extremely clean and modern. They have showers, but no lockers. Although the class didn't seem too strenuous I would definitely do it again, just for relaxation purposes. Well on to the next class.
