Fly n' Stretch covers a full body stretch using the support of an air hammock suspended from the ceiling. The use of the hammock as a prop reduces stress on your joints while also improving flexibility and allowing for a greater range of motion. This practice aims at stretching and strengthening muscles, ligaments and joints.

Fly n' Stretch (aerostretching) shares a lot of similarities with traditional stretching – however, when participating in a Fly n' Stretch class, the weight of your body is supported by a hammock. This allows the body to relax during the stretching exercises, making it impossible to overload the muscles. Fly n' Stretch is a great option if you are new to stretching, as well as those suffering from specific injuries or pains.

While everyone can benefit from a Fly n' Stretch class, they are especially great for people experiencing any back or joint pain. The support of the hammock reduces stress on joints and stretches and relaxes the spine – you’ll be able to obtain a full body stretch without any discomfort!

Enhances flexibility

In order to maintain a great range of motion, you must consistently work on your flexibility.
The support of the hammock in Fly n' Stretch helps you to safely stretch your muscles and tendons – and being suspended in the air also gives you a lot more space to move. You’ll be able to perform stretches that you can’t usually do on the floor. The hammock also plays as a huge assistance in being able to hold your stretches longer through alleviating pressure!

Burns Calories

On top of enhancing flexibility and releasing pressure – Fly n' Stretch also helps burn calories and strengthen the core through the balance it takes to stay in control on the silks. Being suspended in the air requires a strong and stable core, particularly as you change positions, in a way a regular floor mat class does not!

Fun

Fly n' Stretch classes are extremely fun and emotionally uplifting. Stretching while being suspended in the air provides a childlike sense of playfulness – taking you back to your care-free days! And don’t forget, the laughter experienced also works as an additional core strengthener 😉

Develop new body skills

You learn a completely different approach to co-ordination when upside down! It’s amazing the new body skills you develop when you are suspended against gravity – your moves are non-restrictive and more effective, and you achieve movements you never thought your body could achieve!

Improves balance

Moving while inverted requires a level of core strength and balance that is unmatched! Fly n' Stretch teaches you how to use your core muscles to strengthen your balance – and this is a practice that is useful for everyday activities!

Rejuvenates the body & aids digestion

Fly n' Stretch can cleanse your system and improve the body’s internal functioning – improving your circulatory, respiratory, and digestive systems! And when these functions are regulated, your mental and physical body operate better.

The inverted movements in Fly n' Stretch also relax your abdomen and help heal various digestion-related issues, such as constipation and indigestion.

Improves memory and concentration

Yes, that’s right! Fly n' Stretch fortifies neural connections and stimulates blood flow to the brain, improving your memory and concentration.

Combats heart problems

By boosting healthy blood circulation, Fly n' Stretch can fight heart disease. It detoxifies the body and significantly lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Full body workout

These are just a few of the physical and mental health benefits of Fly n' Stretch. It is a spiritually uplifting experience that takes the mind away from what is ‘just regular’ to an extraordinary place. Fly n' Stretch can increase creativity, help develop artistic skills, and increase one’s self confidence. It’s a fun and acrobatic type of stretching you have to try!

A lot of workouts require switching between upper and lower body. In Fly n' Stretch, the entire body is made to move and stretch, toning and re-defining the muscles of the upper body and the lower body at the same time!
