What is Aerial Yoga Yoga Recess?
Recess is a regularly scheduled time in our aerial yoga classes for physical activity and play that is monitored by trained aerial yoga staff. During aerial recess, children are physically active and engaged with their peers in aerial yoga poses of their choice.
The American Academy of Pediatrics reports recess is essential to children’s health and development. It provides a much-needed break from the structured activities, which helps improve cognitive, emotional, and physical well-being.
Six benefits of aerial yoga recess:
