It is yoga, or rather contemporary versions of the ancient discipline. The variants of the discipline that are already invading our gyms come from America.

Antigravity Yoga

Antigravity yoga is already taking hold, a mix of yoga postures, with dance, Pilates and rhythmic gymnastics contaminations. The creator of this discipline is called Sayonara Motta, an artist who moves between aerobics, oriental disciplines and dance and is well known in the world of stars and stripes fitness. A single lesson lasts about an hour and a half and takes place in a hammock hanging from the ceiling. A warm-up and a part of toning and lengthening of the legs, arms, buttocks and abdominals is provided. Everything takes place in total suspension, which facilitates the execution of different positions ( asanas ) of traditional yoga (for example the Viparita Karani Mudra, Seal of inverted action) which are performed head down to promote the flow of energy ( amrita ) and thus slow aging.

Yoga for managers

Many responsibilities, the anxiety that accumulates before an important meeting or the fatigue after intense work sessions require a level of balance and determination in above average doses. For those who recognize themselves in all this, yoga for managers was born, which consists of a sequence of postures designed to improve energy intake and to learn how to best manage moments of intense stress.

The lesson can be individual or group and can be practiced in the morning or at lunch break.

Usually, the lecturer starts from the basics of breathing technique; sometimes it takes a real re-education to the breath, given the ease with which we tend to forget how much this vital function regulates all the other activities of the organism. We then move on to a dynamic part: jumps on the spot, movements and recitation of mantra; the positions that stimulate the balance are followed by those of relaxation, such as the classic "Loto".

In any case, regardless of the teachings of the yoginis, when you feel it is too much, try to detach thorns and cell phones. And, if you can, sometimes even the brain.
