Kaya Aerial Yoga Philadelphia allows yoga practitioners to challenge their poses beyond the ordinary, incorporating elements of circus acrobatics into vinyasa sequences. Safely suspended from the ceiling in aerial silks, students experience less of the joint strain commonly associated with floor yoga. Instead, attendees perform relaxing moves and deep stretches while the silk hammock supports their bodies either partially or completely.

By helping relieve the physical intensity of certain poses, aerial yoga allows students to focus more fully on their alignment and mental state. Instructors also lead circus arts lessons that teach attendees how to use suspended hoops or silks to perform muscle-toning acrobatics and eerily convincing Tarzan impressions. Under the glow of a black light, students give hula hoop dancing a whirl or practice their acrobatic skills wrapped in a neon hammock during the Friday nights Flying Fitness class.
