Introducing a brand-new offering to the bounti class repertoire… “bounti Air”! bounti Air, rooted in the modality of aerial yoga, involves exercising while suspended in the air, with the support of aerial silks. bounti Air is a yoga and fitness-based modality that focuses on a variation of strength and stretching exercises, as well as the health benefits of yoga practice using a silk hammock.

While the modality is suitable for people of all ages, genders and sizes (up to 120kgs), this particular workshop is only suitable for persons over the age of 12.

This new class style is brought to you by beloved bounti team member, Roxy Whitehouse! Roxy, with her experience and qualification in aerial yoga and being a member of the bounti family, brings you bounti Air in alignment with bounti’s philosophy and core ethos of promoting low-impact movement that heals, not harms. Although bounti Air does not incorporate the use of a rebounder, it’s a low-intensity modality that matches the bounti values of restorative exercise that supports the body.

bounti Air brings you a mixture of flexibility, mobility, stretching, strength work, core work, balance, mental wellness and mindfulness all in a comprehensive, beginner-friendly workshop. This workshop really takes it down to the basics, and introduces you to the fundamental principles of bounti Air. If you’re keen to try something new and exciting, this workshop is a fantastic starting point, so come along, bring a friend and kick-start your bounti Air journey!

At this workshop, Roxy will guide you through the following:

• The benefits of bounti Air
• Safety guidelines when using the aerial hammock for exercise
• Becoming accustomed to the hammock and getting comfortable with the feeling of being suspended
• Working through the technique of basic, beginner poses that target different areas of the body through strengthening and stretching
• A few impressive aerial tricks – nothing too complex, don’t worry!

WATCH: Roxy introduces the bounti Air Workshop

bounti Air has so many amazing benefits, some of which include:

• Deepens your stretches and improves flexibility and mobility
• Relieves joint pressure and spinal compression that floor workouts can trigger
• Releases bodily tension
• Improves your balance and proprioception (bodily awareness)
• Enhances your core strength primarily, but also strengthens other areas of the body
• Improves breath awareness and deep breathing
• Easier access to inverted postures – benefits of inversion include increased blood and lymphatic circulation, as well as improved flexibility, strength, energy levels, and self-confidence
• Releases endorphins, reduces cortisol and relieves stress
• Improves mental wellness and assists with trauma-related issues, as it promotes the feeling of being cocooned, and promotes self-trust and confidence
• Perfect for those who would prefer a low-cardio modality, those who struggle with high-cardio workouts, or for those in-between, active rest days
• Similarly to bounti’s rebounders, the aerial silks have a high maximum weight limit, making it suitable for more overweight individuals
• Promotes mental wellness as each session includes some meditation, mindfulness, stillness, reflection and gratitude 

WATCH: Roxy explains the benefits of bounti Air

bounti Air gives you the totally unique experience of being weightless, and trusting something external, outside of yourself: the aerial silks. The modality is totally unlike anything else within our bounti offering, yet this flow-based modality promises to be incredibly healing, beneficial and loads of fun!
