Teghann offers two types of aerial yoga class, aerial yoga flow and aerial yoga restorative. In aerial yoga flow, you will flow through poses holding for 5–10 breaths in each. Incorporating traditional yoga elements, this class will challenge you to properly engage your muscles, get deeper in your stretches, and test your balance. This style of aerial yoga is most similar to a Hatha or Vinyasa style yoga class.

In aerial yoga restorative, you will use the hammock as a support to help you relax into poses (similar to a bolster or blocks). In this style you will hold postures for 2–5 minutes and focus on relaxing your mind and body. Restorative is a nice class to take at the end of the week as it will help your body restore, relax, and feel rejuvenated. This class is most similar to a restorative or Yin yoga class.

Aerial Pilates

Aerial Pilates combines traditional Pilates exercises with aerial movements. These exercises focus on strengthening your powerhouse, or core, in addition to arm and leg training. In these classes, you will use an aerial hammock as a support to take your Pilates practice to the next level. Using the hammock in different capacities (ie. as a mat, barre, or block support) will challenge you to use proper engagement and alignment while reinforcing your connection to both body and mind.
