AntiGravity Yoga Technique and Impressive Poses


hi welcome to watchmojo.com my name is
Shanna Troy and I am certified in
anti-gravity yoga and I will be giving
you a demonstration of what a class
looked like first I’m going to show you
how to do the Sun Salutation so this is
how I like to start off every yoga class
I lean back in I put a hammock around my
ribs and not under the armpits nor the
the small of the back
we inhale into mountain reach nice and
far good then we exhale into prayer
position soften the knees inhale again
come to mountain and then we open up
into our chair position from the chair
position I like to soften the knees and
swing right through into a t plank a T
plank is a fantastic first isometric
contraction of the class here you can do
some heel raises we have to hold the
shoulders down not let the hips sag and
then we can come back again inhale to
Mountain I like to grab the hammock so I
repeat that sequence a few times bring
the knee to the chest bring it behind me
soften the knee and we’re getting into a
horse position to open up the chest
again elongate the spine I like to
rotate the foot outwards bring the arms
down and as in yoga this is the warrior
ii position hold this for a little bit
then i like to continue into triangle
pose
trikonasana i extend both legs fantastic
to start opening up the hips reach for
the hammock and then if we wish for
those who want to be a bit more
challenged i bend the knee and i push
off into an arabesque you can come up on
your toes this is a great stretch if not
it is excellent to just remain in this
position or even in warrior two nice
strong position and then I come back
forward reach up and hands come come up
that Sun Salutation so here I’m going to
demonstrate the Chandeleur sequence this
might look familiar for you guys it was
created and choreographed for the singer
pink for the American Music Awards so I
will demonstrate in everybody’s fully
capable of achieving this position to
some extent we start with a back belt
wrap so really hold the the
like on your sacrum I lower the
shoulders i tiptoe forward and I slide
my hands up and I come into a plum
position extend my knees my legs towards
the mirror open it up into peach slide
my hands down the hammock 12 inches open
up my feet wrap them around the front
side of the hammock the face side and
flex my feet this is first position
that’s excellent to meditate in this is
the monkey then I open up my right leg
to the wall and I circle it around to
the back so behind me this is called the
Phoenix and from here I bend my back leg
and then you can either keep your hands
here or you can reach back grab with one
hand or the other and this is called
chandelier so now I’m going to
demonstrate the vampire sequence it is
possibly one of the most challenging
however everybody is able to once again
do it to some extent to some degree so
we start the front grab the front edge
of the hammock and I just shake it out
to see all 9 feet of fabric I insert my
thumbs and there’s a little bit of
tension in my arms I gather the hammock
six times that’s about one third of the
hammock I walked back to my plumb line
come up on my toes engage the biceps
engage the Latin in one quick movement
I bring the hammock to my knees boom so
now we’re in a pouch super easy to get
here from the pouch I bring my feet in
slide the hammock and bring the blanket
the hammock all up to my knees I’m kind
of hiding here I lean back and you grab
the back edge of the hammock and you
wrap it around just your shoulders as if
kind of our t-shirt neckline would go I
clap open the hands grab the hammock
from the inside and I’m going to lose
you right now by I’m lifting my feet up
and over my head into a mosquito
position from the mosquito bend the
knees to the chest this is a gargoyle
and then from here I just extend my legs
push my hips to the floor and this is
the vampire and everybody is able to do
this
