In Cape Girardeau, at The Source Yoga n More, you can take an Aerial Yoga class (pictured). Start with Earth to Air and Beginner Yoga Basics, a workshop-style class that breaks down yoga poses and suspension yoga poses. Then, once you have the process down, move to Earth to Air Suspension Yoga Basics. Aerial yoga is a combination of traditional floor yoga poses and postures practiced using a soft fabric "trapeze" (called a "sling") suspended at either knee, hip or waist height. Although it might seem extremely difficult at first glance, in truth, newcomers enjoy working with the sling because gravity and inversion provide less pressure or stress on the joints, especially the spine.

The Source Yoga n More is Located At: 2502 Tanner Drive #102
