Beginner-friendly hammock yoga at our studio in HRBR Layout, Kalyan Nagar. Decompress your spine, explore inversions, and discover a practice unlike anything on the mat.
Fly, stretch, and find stillness
Absolute Yoga offers guided Aerial Yoga classes in Bangalore at our studio in HRBR Layout, Kalyan Nagar. Whether you are a complete beginner or a regular practitioner, our hammock-based aerial yoga sessions are designed to be safe, structured, and deeply rewarding.
We run Aerial Yoga classes on Wednesdays and Fridays as part of our regular schedule. Batch sizes are kept small so that every student receives personal attention and proper guidance throughout the session. Our studio serves students from Kammanahalli, Banaswadi, HBR Layout, Horamavu, Ramamurthy Nagar, and Hennur Road.
The Practice
Aerial Yoga — also called hammock yoga or anti-gravity yoga — uses a soft fabric hammock suspended from the ceiling to support the body in traditional yoga postures, inversions, and stretches.
Unlike mat-based yoga, aerial yoga uses gravity to your advantage. The hammock takes the compression off your joints, allowing your spine to decompress naturally. This makes it particularly effective for students with lower back pain, stiffness, or those who struggle with weight-bearing inversions on the mat.
At Absolute Yoga, we teach aerial yoga the right way — not as a circus act, but as a genuine, breath-led yoga practice that builds strength, flexibility, and calm.
The hammock allows the spine to elongate under gravity, relieving compression between vertebrae. Students with chronic lower back pain often notice relief after just a few sessions.
Headstands and shoulder stands that take months on the mat become safely accessible in aerial yoga from your very first class, with the hammock supporting your full body weight.
Holding positions in the hammock engages your core, arms, and legs in ways mat yoga cannot replicate. The gentle instability means your stabilising muscles are always engaged.
Gravity-assisted stretching allows a greater range of motion with less strain. Hip openers, hamstring stretches, and chest openers become more accessible than on a mat.
For students with knee pain, wrist issues, or hip stiffness, aerial yoga removes the weight-bearing demands of many postures — an excellent complement to therapeutic yoga.
The gentle instability of the hammock sharpens proprioception — your sense of where your body is in space — faster than mat practice alone. Posture and coordination both improve.
The aerial savasana — wrapping yourself in the hammock at the end of class — is one of the most deeply relaxing experiences in any yoga practice. Students consistently call it their favourite part.
We have students in their 20s and students in their 60s attending aerial yoga at our Bangalore studio. Fitness level is not a prerequisite — willingness to try is.

Your First Class
A simple, guided breakdown of a typical aerial yoga session. No experience is assumed at any point. Your teacher introduces every element before you attempt it.
What to wear: Fitted clothing covering your underarms and the back of your knees. Avoid loose tops, zippers, and jewellery. Leggings and a fitted top work perfectly.
Your teacher shows you how to hold the hammock, how to trust it with your weight, and the basic positions used throughout class.
A short grounding sequence to warm joints and calm the nervous system before entering the hammock.
Guided through standing, seated, and inverted postures with breath cues throughout. Your teacher watches and corrects alignment. You are never pushed.
Supported inversions — head below heart, spine decompressing. You are always in control of how far you go.
You wrap yourself fully in the hammock and rest. The gentle compression and suspension create one of the most relaxing experiences in any yoga practice.
"I came with severe lower back pain and very little flexibility. After 6 aerial yoga sessions at Absolute Yoga, I noticed a real difference in my back — the hammock decompression is unlike anything else I have tried."
Priya M.
Aerial Yoga Student · Kammanahalli
Result: Reduced lower back pain after 6 sessions; now attends both Wed & Fri batches.
"The aerial savasana alone is worth the class. But the whole session is so well-paced — I never felt unsafe, and I managed my first inversion within two sessions. The instructor makes it feel achievable."
Karthik R.
Aerial Yoga Student · Banaswadi
Result: First inversion within two sessions; improved shoulder mobility within 4 weeks.
"I had zero yoga background when I started. The teacher explained every movement, corrected me without making me self-conscious, and the batch was small enough that I never felt ignored."
Sunita B.
Beginner Aerial Yoga Student · Hennur
Result: Consistent weekly practice for 3+ months; improved flexibility and sleep.
