Summer is sizzling!

ꜱᴜᴍᴍᴇʀ ᴛɪᴘꜱ

We hope you're having a good time and coping with the heat effectively. Please remember, just because it's summer, we shouldn't remain inactive claiming it's hot and therefore impossible to exercise!

There are always ways to stay active, we just need to adapt and perhaps change some of our ways. If we give up exercising completely, it will be twice as hard to get into good habits again once the weather's cooled off.

"But how can I exercise safely during the summer months?", you may ask. There is always a way to safely exercise and enjoy it!

Here's a few things you can do:
- Wear light clothes --> Materials that help your body breathe will help you stay cool
- Beat the heat --> Choose early mornings, evenings or shady routes for your exercise
- Know your limits --> When you're moving, your body is trying to send blood to your heart so It's perfectly fine to back off a bit when you're trying to exercise in that heat
- No food before exercise --> In order for your gut to digest the food, it takes blood and energy so that makes more body heat
- Hydrate --> It goes without saying that you should hydrate before, during and after exercise

And if you're looking to join one of our classes at Pink Flamingo Yoga, you can find us every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in the studio with the A/C on! And if you prefer privacy, contact us to discuss how we can accommodate private sessions whether in studio, at your preferred location or the beach!

Stay cool and enjoy the rest of your summer! 🏖

Η aerial yoga είναι μια ιδιαίτερη πρακτική που συνδιάζει στάσεις της yoga και ακροβατικών των aerial arts. Το ευρύ φάσμα του ασκησιολογίου της μπορεί να απευθυνθεί σε όλα τα επίπεδα ασκούμενων γιόγκα, από αρχάριους μέχρι προχωρημένους και αθλητές.
Μια aerial τάξη μπορεί να είναι από ήπια, θεραπευτική μέχρι και ιδιαίτερα απαιτητική ακόμη και για αυτούς που είναι σε άψογη φυσική κατάσταση. Κάποια από τα ωφέλη της είναι:
-αποσυμπίεση & ευθυγράμμιση της σπονδυλικής στήλης για αυτό και ενδείκνυται για όλες τις παθήσεις της (λόρδωση, κύφωση, σκολίωση κλπ) σαν πρόληψη και θεραπεία
-ενδυνάμωση του κορμού
-βαθιά εσωτερική σταθερότητα του κέντρου
-βελτιώνει την ισορροπία
-βελτιώνει την χωρική νοημοσύνη, αφού με την εναέρια πρακτική δουλεύουμε σε πολυεπίπεδα
-μέσω των ανάστροφων θέσεων αυξάνεται η ροή του οξυγόνου στον εγκέφαλο
-βελτιώνει το ανοσοποιητικό, λεμφικό, κυκλοφορικό, πεπτικό και γενικά όλα τα συστήματα, ακόμη και την κατάσταση του δέρματος με αντιγηραντική δράση.

Είπαμε πόσο διασκεδάζουμε με την εναέρια γιόγκα; Ελάτε να το διαπιστώσετε στα μαθήματα της Σοφίας, της έμπειρης δασκάλας μας, για παιδιά και ενήλικες.

Aerial yoga is a special practice that combines yoga asanas and acrobatics from aerial arts. The broad scope of the exercises can be applied to all levels, from beginners to advanced yogis and athletes.
An aerial yoga class can be either mild, therapeutic or even demanding for the ones that are in top physical shape.
Some of the advantages of aerial yoga are:
-offers spine decompression & alignment, thus it is recommended for many conditions (lordosis, kyphosis, scoliosis, etc.) as prevention and rehabilitation
-strengthens the core
-offers deep internal stability of the centre
-improves balance
-improves spacial awareness, since with aerial practice we work on multi levels
-improves immune, lymphatic, circulatory, digestive and in general all the systems, and even helps skin with anti-ageing effects.

Did we mention it’s great fun? Join Sofia, our expert aerial yoga teacher, in one of our classes for children and adults.
