Pan of students suspended upside down\u003cbr/\u003eThe latest trend in fitness training is both challenging and fun - and it defies gravity.\u003cbr/\u003eFollowers of anti-gravity yoga use a silk hammock as a trapeze for getting into positions you never thought possible before.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Take a deep breath, open up,\" says yoga teacher Aileen Febles.\u003cbr/\u003eShe's inviting students to cast aside their fear of floating free.\u003cbr/\u003eThis is anti-gravity yoga, one of the hottest training trends in the USA.\u003cbr/\u003eStudents wrap themselves into a silk hammock, suspended from the ceiling, using the gentle, but super strong material to support their weight.\u003cbr/\u003eWith the help of the hammock, students can move between yoga positions, exercising different parts of the body.\u003cbr/\u003eThe strength of the silk also provides resistance for shifts in body positions while suspended in the air.\u003cbr/\u003eIt's a liberation says Aileen Febles, once students overcome their initial fear of defying gravity:\u003cbr/\u003e\"They love it because it's different and they feel safe going upside down, without being on the ground, which makes it a little bit harder on your neck, your arms. Makes it a little bit easier to do it while you're holding on to a prop like the hammock.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAnti-gravity yoga was founded by Christopher Harrison, a Broadway aerial choreographer and former world-class gymnastics specialist. He originally began incorporating the aerial technique in 1999 during his own training routines.\u003cbr/\u003eToday, trainers say it provides the benefits of yoga without straining muscles and helps relieve compressed joints. \u003cbr/\u003eThe ability to stretch without having to support weight helps align the body from head to toe.\u003cbr/\u003eEven younger students like 12-year-old Anette Alonso get it after a little bit of practice.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I was a little wobbly and out there, but usually by the second day it's super, super fun and you're not that frustrated any more.\"\u003cbr/\u003eWorkouts in the hammock fuse traditional yoga poses with elements from aerial arts, dance, gymnastics, Pilates and calisthenics. \u003cbr/\u003eThe hammock can act like a swing or trapeze and can hold up to 2,000 pounds in weight.\u003cbr/\u003eDuring class participants hold onto the fabric to move into a sitting position and the hammock wraps around the body to form a cocoon. \u003cbr/\u003eLegs are stretched out to a restful position.\u003cbr/\u003eIn other poses, feet can be looped around the hammock for support before participant turns upside down, allowing hands to drop and softly graze the floor.\u003cbr/\u003eFinding a workout that isn't a chore is a relief says 69-year-old Mardeene Mitchell - and it's fun:\u003cbr/\u003e\"It's the kind of thing you look forward to, instead of, some workouts you dread and you think of it as work. And this is just fun. It really makes you feel like a kid again.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe AntiGravity hammock has taken off in other ways too.\u003cbr/\u003eIt has been used in award shows and rock tours to create dramatic airborne dance routines.\u003cbr/\u003ePink sang while flying on a hammock during the 2010 Grammy awards. Even President Barack Obama's inauguration featured performers on the hammock.\u003cbr/\u003eOriginally launched at Crunch Fitness clubs in 2008, AntiGravity Yoga will be available in nearly four dozen locations by the end of the year, half in the U.S. and the others around the world, from Italy to South Korea.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
