Aerial yoga

Increase full-body flexibility and strength: Schenone says that this practice is a full-body type of movement, so it strengthens all muscles. The hammock itself allows you to go deeper into the stretches and poses, further enhancing full-body flexibility. Alleviate back and neck pressure: Li says that sitting or standing all day long allows gravity to weigh down the spine, but being upside down in certain aerial yoga moves she claims can help lengthen and decompress the spine.
