Los Angeles: Get Wings and Fly at Crunch

If you've ever wanted to defy gravity the aerial arts way, Crunch's new AntiGravity Yoga "Wings" class may be your answer.

It's a super fun way to spend a playful hour suspended from the ceiling in a white fabric hammock while you swing and stretch and use your core in ways you never deemed possible. Inversions are remarkably easy (you'll feel that spine get longer than you thought it ever could) and sun salutations become a whole new challenging experience.

The class was developed with aerial artist Christopher Harrison, who heads-up the performance troupe AntiGravity, so it's the real deal. While it's certainly not pure yoga, it's definitely worth bringing the skills you've already learned on the mat into a whole new setting.

Right now the classes are only available at Crunch locations in Miami, Los Angeles and New York (San Francisco and Chicago coming this fall). In the meantime, the folks at Crunch were kind enough to extend a special promotion to Samadhi and the City readers. Just bring a print-out of this post and get a free Anti-Gravity Yoga class. But remember, space is limited so it's on a first-come, first-served basis.

So go ahead, get some wings and let us know how you fly.

Is this good for the San Francisco Crunch locaiton as well?

Hi Halle: Unfortunately, Crunch in SF doesn't have anti-gravity yoga yet, but they will this fall. This offer should work then. Thanks for posting. Stacie

how's their liability insurance? what happens if someone falls out of that contraption and falls on their head?

sorry -- I was a legal asst. for 20 years -- now you know why I teach yoga -- and those are the things I think about.....

I can't say for sure because insurance is not my expertise but I assume Crunch has its liability covered. And this method is not as precarious as it looks. The hammocks are quite supportive and the way you manipulate them keeps you in the air, and protected from falling out. Besides, the liability issues aren't much different than hanging from ropes in an Iyengar class or doing handstands in the middle of the room. It's fun. Not risky.
