AirBarre, an Aerial Barre Training Class, Makes its Debut in Boston

Swet Studio ™ of Boston, http://www.swetstudio.com, located at 480 Tremont Street, Boston, has expanded its list of unique group fitness, aerial, and dance classes. It is proud to debut, for the first time in Boston,AntiGravity® AIRbarre! Says Swet Studio’s manager, Bulgarian born Silviya Mihaylova:

“We are so excited to launch AIRbarre! The Beauty of AntiGravity AirBarre is that it has all the benefits of Barre, but literally elevates it to the next level by transferring the movements to multiple planes.”

This exciting, new group workout class is the perfect marriage of ballet barre training with an aerial silk hammock, for a unique workout experience. Although AntiGravity Fundamentals is a prerequisite (also offered at Swet Studio), AntiGravity® Barre is easily accessible.

In addition to cutting edge group fitness classes, such as Indo-Row (indoor rowing), Marino Madness and Mojo Transformation, http://www.swetstudio.com/slim-down/, Swet Studio™ offers Boston’s only licensed AntiGravity® aerialclasses, offered by certified instructors versed in the principles, technique, and philosophy of the exciting aerial program. 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.http://www.swetstudio.com/inner-strength/. 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 Mihaylova. “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.”

In harmony with its aerial yoga regimen, Swet Studio™ also offers a floating, guided mediation class called Levitation, where you can relax and experience the calm of guided meditation, while suspended in a floating silk hammock. Whether your boss is ticking you off, your kids are driving you crazy, or you are just on edge, this 30 -45 minute class allows for escape from the pressures of daily life. Specifically geared toward couples, Swet Studio’s AntiGravity® Partner is a group aerial yoga class, where one participates with a lover or a close friend to explore the fun and trust of balancing two people with a single Yoga hammock. http://www.swetstudio.com/inner-strength/

The combination of aerial barre is the latest evolution.  It has been recognized that dance develops ideal body lines through the toning and lengthening of muscles, while also developing balance and agility. Barre training is a non-impact fitness class designed to produce lean, sculpted bodies. AirBarre challenges the body and mind beyond the vertical plane and up into the air.
