About Antigravity Aerial Yoga
A combination of traditional yoga poses and pilates with the use of a hammock, aerial yoga defies gravity and allows you to perform various yoga poses that may be difficult to do on the ground, but easier in mid-air. It’s fun and acrobatic.
Here are the Top 10 from Health Fitness Revolution and author of the book ReSYNC Your Life Samir Becic:
Total body workout: Due to the nature of aerial yoga movements, almost all the body parts are forced to move and stretch. Muscles are toned and redefined, and joints are regenerated and strengthened due to these movements.
Psychologically beneficial: Just like almost any other workout, aerial yoga helps rebuild your emotional system because it clears the mind and relieves stress due to its meditative state. It also helps you combat stress throughout the day and increases your creativity, which leads you to develop your own artistic skills.
Improves flexibility: Aerial yoga helps you to move more freely, with less effort, by counteracting gravity. Suspension in the air releases tension on the bones and muscles, increasing flexibility and deepening your practice. Suspended yoga strengthens core muscles and increases spinal and shoulder flexibility.
Heals back problems: It gives you the chance to hang freely, allowing your spine to lengthen. With less strain on your back while doing the exercises, it eases tension in the spinal cord and hip joint, helping you feel better.
Increases strength: Aerial yoga improves strength and flexibility, which carries over into other daily activities. The core workout is a beneficial cross-training, as it helps runners increase stamina and be able recover faster.
Puts you in a great mood: Another key benefit of doing aerial yoga is that it gets your adrenaline going while going against gravity. It also releases “happy” hormones like serotonin, endorphins, oxytocin, dopamine, which boost your mood and help you feel more energetic.
Improves balance: While going against gravity can be exciting, aerial yoga also helps with balance and stability in daily activities. Balance is a key component in daily activities, and aerial yoga helps maintain a good balance both inside and out.
Aids digestion: The different types of stretches and movements help improve the digestive system, thus helping in healing various digestion-related issues, including constipation and indigestion.
Old age and heart disease: Aerial yoga improves the circulation of blood, thus combating aging and its symptoms. Aerial yoga also helps detoxify the circulatory and lymphatic systems, which lowers the onset of various cardiovascular issues.
Improves memory: Aerial yoga fortifies your neural connections, thereby, rendering better memory power. In a way, practicing aerial yoga can make you smarter!

We sent the first experiential workshop with the theme of Unconditional Love, merging psychology and Yoga. Participating in our workshops leads us to emotional states of tranquility and a withdrawal from us, with nature. Without aesthetic judgments, these dynamics deepen the values that characterized our self, favoring intercommunication, facilitating a better expression of feelings and emotions. Nature provided space for relaxation, revisiting our interior, synchronizing our health, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual! A hug in union, Carla & Igor

The Smuggling Festival is more than a Festival, it is the union and fusion of the tribute to an activity that throughout history was important for the people of the border, with the arts and the culture. The frontier landscape that defied the fearless in the passage of goods, is now the scene of several cultural projects that transport to the interior of the population and its visitors, dreams and ambitions, bringing to the borderland, a cultural offer that defies all the existing conditions. The region of Alcoutim and Sanlúcar de Guadiana was one of the favorable scenarios for the smuggling activity, it is usually said "since there are borders, there is smuggling" and Alcoutim and Sanlúcar de Guadiana are right on the border line of southern Portugal, having the Guadiana river to separate them. This activity, which always gave rise to some secrecy and shame in those who practiced it, today is a source of heroism for the people of the frontier. Our "heroes" were struggling for a better life, for having an extra form of livelihood, beyond what little they took from the land or what they earned in badly paid professions, always controlled by the masters of the regime ... To risk their lives by carrying the bags of products bought in the great fairs to the “almocreves”, walking dozens of kilometers during the night, having to sleep under the ceiling of the starry sky, to pass the cold waters of the great river of the south, hiding of the vigils of the stations the frontier line and the rifles that controlled it. The dreams of families, strangled by the castrating regime ... Touch the drums, dance, sing, release the clowns, jugglers, let the people listen to stories and stories they have never heard, freedom has arrived and we all have a right to it and our dreams and smile. Every land has its heroes, ours is no different, we are proud to tell your stories and make them the history of our land.
