You might have heard from your friends who practice yoga what tricks they are able to do and how flexible they are. While this is true, it doesn’t mean that they could bend that easily when they were just starting out. This applies to aerial yoga as much as for any other yoga type. If you are consistent with your practices, you will stretch your muscles enough to be considered ‘flexible’. You will also start performing the challenging flows that you couldn’t execute before.
Basically, every person should be able to do aerial yoga regardless of his physique. As long as you take precautions and are using your common sense to avoid potential injuries, there is no reason to avoid aerial yoga. Besides, contrary to popular opinion, it is a better idea to start with aerial yoga rather than with regular on-ground yoga. This is justified by the support system you have in the form of a swing that plays a huge role in helping you to feel secure and be in sync with your body.
