Aerial Yoga Tips:

• Try not to eat for approx 3 hours before you arrive.  Have an early, light, breakfast that is easily digestable. This will help your performance and reduce the risk of feeling nauseous while training.
• Wear comfortable but slim fitting clothing.  Baggy t-shirts can end up over your head in inversions, so wear something that you can tuck in if you would like to avoid this.
• Limit or remove jewellery.
• Bring a bottle of water and your yoga mat, if you would prefer to use your own or would like to double up.  However, mats will be provided by the studio.
• Limit or no alcohol the night before the retreat is a good tip especially if you haven't done inversions before.  Hangovers are not recommended.
