Aerial Yoga and Decompression
Find suspension and stillness in our Whitefield studios. Our aerial sessions use hammocks to decompress the spine and build strength, all within our calm, phone-free environment.
A glimpse from our International Yoga Day celebration, featuring an Aerial Yoga session. The practice is not just about inversions; it's about breathing, meditating, and finding joy in movement, followed by community connection.
The aerial hammock isn't just for dynamic poses. One of our favorite Calm Mind Practices is the Cocoon Savasana, where you are gently suspended for a blissful, sleep like experience of deep relaxation.
About this collection
Many people assume aerial yoga is about advanced gymnastics or inversions, but we use the hammock as a supportive prop. In our classes, you will find support for deep decompression and our signature 'Cocoon Savasana.' This allows you to release tension in the shoulders and spine without any pressure to perform or look a certain way.
A Sanctuary for Suspension
At SAMA, our aerial practice is not about intensity. It is about accessibility. Whether you are a beginner or looking to deepen your existing practice, the aerial hammock provides a unique way to move, breathe, and meditate.
Why Our Aerial Classes Are Different
- Safety First: We use load-tested, high-quality hammocks in our Siddapura and Hopefarm studios. You are always supported, and our instructors guide you through every move.
- No Mirrors: We intentionally removed mirrors from our practice spaces. You are not here to watch yourself perform; you are here to feel the release in your spine and the stillness in your mind.
- Digital Detox: We maintain a strictly phone-free environment. When you step into the studio, you leave the mental chatter of the outside world behind.
The Cocoon Savasana
Our sessions typically include 30 minutes of gentle, guided movement followed by our signature Calm Mind Practice. The highlight for many is the Cocoon Savasana. You are gently wrapped in the silk hammock, suspended slightly off the floor, allowing your nervous system to reset. It is a blissful experience that many students find helps them sleep better and feel significantly less stressed.
Who Is This For?
Aerial yoga at SAMA is designed for all bodies and ages. You do not need to be flexible or have a strong core to start. We meet you where you are, using the hammock to assist, strengthen, and—most importantly—to help you find a moment of peace.
Sama
We designed our aerial space to feel less like a gym and more like a sanctuary. We keep our batch sizes small so you get real support, and we never use mirrors, so you can focus entirely on how your body feels, not how it looks.
