What people are saying
“Jo has written the book the aerial community needed: one that treats accessibility as craft rather than compromise.”
“Rigorous, warm, and genuinely useful. I will be handing this to every teacher I train.”
“A rare book that takes both the tradition and the body in front of you seriously at the same time.”
The eight limbs
The structure the book follows, and why.
-
Yama Ethical restraints
How we meet others, and the hammock included.
-
Niyama Observances
How we meet ourselves in a practice that exposes us.
-
Asana Posture
Where aerial work most obviously lives, and least exclusively.
-
Pranayama Breath
Inversion changes the breath. That is information, not a problem.
-
Pratyahara Withdrawal of the senses
The hammock removes the floor, and with it a habit.
-
Dharana Concentration
Suspension asks for attention whether or not you offer it.
-
Dhyana Meditation
What becomes available once the body stops negotiating.
-
Samadhi Absorption
Not a destination. Occasionally a byproduct.
