Online Yoga with Pik-Chu Wong

Let's explore the five different directions of spine movement with an aerial hammock or traditional yoga props. A longer-held posture with a hammock applies a gentle push to soften up the different layers of connective tissues while the pull of gravity help lengthens the body to create space.

This class offers the option to use an aerial hammock or traditional yoga props to work towards Ardha Kapotasana, Half Pigeon. We will take time to warm up the body, open the hips, and chest while working with a lower height of the hammock to allows us to catch a Half Pigeon at flight.

With hammock at hip height, this class focuses on increasing the range of movement while respecting the need to maintain stability in our shoulders. We will take our time to hold the pose to allow the muscles around the shoulder girdles to release tension and to gain greater flexibility.

The key to moving into Marichyasana B is to create a dynamic force between the arm and the bent knee, and this requires both strength and flexibility. We will prepare the body for this pose by opening the shoulders, the hips, and warm up the back body to ease our way into this beautiful pose.

Our soles are the windows to our overall health. The feet are the foundation that supports our daily movements as well as postural alignments. Bring some TLC to strengthen and lengthen the ankles and feet for a solid foundation from the ground up.

Mythical fairy inspires this classic aerial posture with the use of the Aerial hammock. Be mindful of your spine extension as you progress with backbends. A deeper backbend with the hammock requires a delicate balance of stability and flexibility as you find your Aerial fairy expression.
