What is Yoga Trapeze?

What to Expect in a Yoga Trapeze Class

The first thing to be aware of is that it is smaller than a hot yoga class with a maximum of 4 people per session. The Cabin is kitted out with 5 hammocks hanging from the ceiling over yoga mats.

At first, the fabric may seem intimidating. In fact, some individuals fear that it is going to break during some of the moves. But, rest assured, this fabric is a durable triple-stitched, similar to is used in parachutes. They have also tested to support at least 250kg, and secured to beams designed to support over a ton!. There are also two handles, one either side, to support, stabilise and generally make you feel more comfortable.

Remember to take deep breaths and go at your own pace.

If you’re uncomfortable with something, then don’t worry about doing it. There’s plenty of encouragement from the other students that started where you are. Enjoy the movements and ensure that you can meet proper form before moving onto the next.
