Guided Meditation in a Floating Silk Hammock at South End Studio
Swet Studio, Boston's Antigavity Aerial Yoga and Rowing Fitness Studio, Offers Group Guided Mediation Classes Cacooned in Silk

The art of mindfulness ultimately occurs from within, and meditation transforms the mind. In harmony with its aerial yoga program, Swet Studio™, of Boston’s South End, is pleased to share a floating, guided mediation class called “Levitation,” where participants 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.
Meditation is a state of deep peace that occurs when the mind is silent. Although mediation is one of the best tools in balancing emotions, quelling the tide of stress, and promoting a sense of equanimity, it is a state that can be difficult to achieve alone, without a guide.
Swet Studio’s Guided Mediation class, Levitation, is agroup experience where participants are individually suspended in a silk hammock, free from the worries and noise of the ground, and guided to a place of inner quietude.
Taking an out of the box approach is nothing new for Swet Studio™. The Boston aerial and fitness group class, health club, located at 480 Tremont Street in the heart of the South End, takes pride in being anything but average. With a loft-like industrial lounge space, soaring purple cathedral ceiling, and a stylish lighting and sound system, Swet Studio™ is unique. According to the Bugarian born fitness guru, Silviya Mihyalova, the studio was created with belief that it should be more than just a place to go and workout, but a place to make friends, who share common interests and an active lifestyle.

“There is so much noise in our daily lives. People are constantly bombarded with computers, cellphones, televisions, and work, not to mention all of the responsibilities and stressors of daily life. Levitation is a perfect way to escape all of that. It is such a refreshing class.”
According to Mihaylova, participants often leave the class feeling “lighter” in their minds and bodies.
