Time to Get Vertical with AntiGravity Aerial Yoga Classes at SWET STUDIO

Swet Studio™, http://www.swetstudio.com, the alternative/LGBT Friendly fitness and dance studio, which opened earlier this month on Tremont Street, in Boston’s South End, is the first studio in the region to offer licensed AntiGravity® aerial fitness/yoga classes. Founded by the world renowned gymnast and aerial choreographer, Christopher Harrison, AntiGravity ® has already swept the West Coast, New York, and Europe, and is featured in exclusive venues such as Madonna’s Hard Candy Fitness and Richard Branson’s Virgin Active.

After hanging silk first emerged as a performance art, Harrison redesigned it to create the “silk hammock,” which facilitates a unique workout with inventive body movement.

“It is phenomenally cool,” says Silviya Mihaylova, owner and operator of Swet Studio™, located at 480 Tremont Street, Boston.

“The first time I experienced being suspended in the AntiGravity ® Hammock, not only did my body feel like it was realigned and in balance, but it was a full-body workout.”

Adrianne Haslet-Davis joined Swet Studio for its opening. “It was truly amazing,” said Haslet-Davis of her first Antigravity class. Described Haslet-Davis:

“I feel like my whole body was stretched out. As a professional athlete, I have experienced many forms of stretching, but nothing like that. It really was unbelievable. It was the first time I tried the class, and I’m definitely hooked!”

Swet Studio™, is the vision of owner and operator, Silviya Mihalova, a thirty year old fitness instructor and entrepreneur. Mihaylova, who emigrated from Eastern Europe at the age of 19, describes the studio as being an alternative to the average dance and fitness studio:

“A few years ago, I wanted someplace where my friends and I could go to take classes, and when I looked around the Boston landscape, I could not find anything like what we have developed in the South End.”

The studio is designed to offer cutting edge classes, and features a relaxing lounge space to “just chill.” The studio, which touts not having a single dumbbell, was specifically designed to be anything but average. With beautiful sprung bamboo flooring, exposed brick walls, loft-like industrial lounge space, and a club lighting and sound system, Swet Studio™ is not your average studio.

Some of the alternative classes range from Same Sex Ballroom Dancing, to Indo-Rowing®, which captures the elements of competitive on-water rowing, where groups of people utilize water filled rowing machines, to aerial AntigGravity ® workouts, where members are tethered to the ceiling in body movement exercises synced to music.

AntiGravity® classes at Swet Studio™ are offered by certified instructors versed in the principles, technique, and philosophy of the exciting aerial program. Says Mihaylova, “Each class is designed to be an event.”
