03 Nov Morning Stretch Week 3: Stretches with Aerial Hammock
After a week of stretches with Pilates bands and blocks, it’s time to stretch with the aerial hammock!
If you haven’t already started with my no equipment stretches and bands and blocks stretches, I recommend starting there. Throughout each week, we continue to build and expand on our practice to make us stronger and more flexible.
Feel free to mix around videos as needed though. It’s your own personal practice so do what feels good for you!

Up Next: Mindfulness Stretches
Can you believe we’ve already made it through 3 weeks of stretches? For these past few weeks, we have focused on improving our flexibility and strength to help prepare us for dancing in the air. But another key to a beautiful aerial practice is mindfulness.
Once you’ve completed week 3, it’s time to move on to the final week of stretches where we stretch in bed, indulge in relaxing backbends, and break out the yoga wheel.
