New Yoga equipment necessary for AntiGravity craze

A type of Yoga class is bringing in different Yoga equipment so that attendees can defy gravity and move their muscles without risk of strain.
AntiGravity Yoga has become popular in the UK, US and New Zealand in recent years because its devotees say being suspended from the ground in silk cocoons makes them feel light and more able to ease compressed joints.
According to the Associated Press, Broadway aerial choreographer Christopher Harrison started the craze in 1999 by hanging a silk hammock from the ceiling that could be used as a swing or trapeze.
''Let's take it up into the air,'' he reportedly said the first time he hung the material from the ceiling. ''Thus the silk hammock was born.''
Those who take part in AntiGravity Yoga sessions can sit inside the material and stretch out their legs, using their feet wrapped around the hammock for support.
They then turn upside down and can master traditional Yoga poses, along with positions from dance, gymnastics, Pilates and aerial arts, from inside their cocoon.
AntiGravity Yoga has already attracted some famous followers, including reality TV star Ollie Locke of E4's Made in Chelsea, who paid for Yoga master trainers Laura Armada Buch and Vanessa McCowen to fly from Drogheda to London to teach a private class to him and some close friends recently.
The Drogheda Independent reported that Ms Armada Buch discovered the new version of Yoga while she was in New York in 2008. She was offered the master license for Ireland and the UK a short while after.
Footage from Ollie's private AntiGravity Yoga session is set to appear in the next instalment of the show, which airs on Monday October 31st at 10pm.

- Which is the best oil for hair growth and thickness?Apr 22, 2021Thank you Emiliano for your comment. In this blog we are referring more to oils, more so than butters and while we agree with you Shea is an excellent emollient for hair, it's consistency is more buttery and it is used more as a leave-in remedy to smooth hair texture. We have suggested Coconut oil as it helps slow down hair loss by penetrating deep into your hair shaft to prevent protein loss, which in turn prevents breakage. When applied to your scalp, it simultaneously moisturises and removes build-up around your hair follicles to encourage hair growth and is one of base oils always used in Ayurveda for hair treatments. As this post is more focused for hair and not for skin, the comedogenic scale applies to skin/pores and not hair follicles. Thank you again for your feedback.
- Which is the best oil for hair growth and thickness?Apr 22, 2021Hello Zu, yes hair loss can be very stressful and this in turn amplifies the cause almost.. Perhaps with Covid, your system may have been depleted of nutrients and fighting the virus can take its toll on your immune system, so sometimes our hair and skin suffer when we have been ill. We really believe in oils for scalp massage as the best way to revive the growth and help regenerate the follicles. It may be also worth at looking at internal supplements and making sure you are getting enough of omega oils, perhaps plant based such as nuts and seeds in your diet. For external oil treatment, would recommend the Really Good Hair oil which we create with Brahmi, this herb is known to help bring the scalp back to health and improve growth. Biotin is also a good vitamin to take as a supplement to help with hair growth so do look into that. So hope these tips will be helpful for you.
- Which is the best oil for hair growth and thickness?Apr 22, 2021I, am very surprised that your article did not include Organic Shea Butter and that coconut oil, is your number one choice for hair growth and thickness. According to the comedogenic scale, coconut oil, has a rating of (4), on a scale from (0), to (5), on clogging your pores. Why would anyone put coconut oil, on their hair or skin knowing the pores will get clogged up. Shea Butter, on the other hand has a (0), rating on the comedogenic scale, which is great for dry hair and skin and won't clog up your pores.
- Which is the best oil for hair growth and thickness?Mar 29, 2021Thank you for your very informative article. I suffered COVID in December, 2020, and in February I started experience extreme hair loss and all my hair jus falls like a person who is under going Chemo therapy. It's very depressing. Had to cut off all my hair and even the little that is left is falling off daily not sure what to do. Please suggest something.
- Carrot Oil for Face Mar 15, 2021Hello :) You can use carrot oil only in small drops on your skin in the morning/during the day since it is highly potent. Carrot oil is rich in vitamins and is a very effective moisturiser. You can also mix a few drops of Carrot Oil with your favorite face cream. You can do that at least twice a week or include it in your daily skincare routine. Hope this helps.
- Carrot Oil for Face Mar 15, 2021Can I use the carrot oil in the day time? Because I am using Vitamin c serum in the night. Please advise. Thanks
