Anti-Gravity Yoga or "aerial yoga", is a new type of yoga, originating in New York but now being practised in several countries,〔("Aerial yoga goes head-over-heels in Vancouver (with video)" ). by Erin Ellis, ''Vancouver Sun'', March 9, 2014〕 which combines the traditional yoga poses, pilates and dance with the use of a hammock. ==The hammock== Anti-gravity yoga requires a special kind of hammock which can support up to 300 kilos of weight. The rig consists of support chains, a webbing strap, a silk hammock and carabiners. Two support chains hang down from the ceiling to less than one meter from the floor, and the hammock is connected at the height preferred by the user,〔Macmaillan.

A, 2012, “Dangling from the ceiling in a hammock made of parachute silk that’s strong enough to hold a baby elephant: Falling head over heels for anti-gravity yoga”, Daily Mail Australia.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2220599/Anti-gravity-yoga-Dangling-ceiling-hammock-parachute-silk.html.(Accessed:6/08/2014)〕 The hammock acts like a swing or soft trapeze, supporting the hips for forward bends and back bends. Yoga postures which some find difficult to do on the ground, such as the reverse post, may be easier in mid-air using the hammock, and the hammock moves add variety to a workout.〔("New Yoga Sutras" ).
