AERIAL YOGA IS FOR EVERYONE
Aerial Yoga is a type of airborne somatic movement approximately a metre maximum from the ground that is practiced in a silk hammock safely rigged and suspended from the ceiling to support your body weight.
Each hammock is rated to carry approximately a ton in weight, (the size of a small car) so our hammocks can and will carry you.
Aerial yoga is restorative, relaxing, releasing, empowering, energising and lots of fun, all ages, shapes and sizes can use the hammocks and I, (Jessica) will be there to support you throughout the whole retreat.
You will be encouraged and supported to try everything on offer, but you are under no obligation to do anything and will be offered alternative positions either in or out of the hammock should you request it.
My aim for this retreat is for you to feel safe, held and supported, to awaken your inner child and leave feeling more connected, present and kinder towards yourself.

RETURN TO THE WOMB
As part of our retreat you will be cocooned in your hammock and guided through a series of healing meditations using sound, essential oils and hands on healing, where you are invited and indeed guided into letting go so that your hammock can hold you.
This type of suspended meditation has remarkable healing results and really gifts you the chance to feel completely held.
GET GROUNDED
As well as using the hammocks to be held and find space, we will begin and end our journey together grounded on the floor. Here we will collectively welcome each other into the space and I will gently guide you through some grounding somatic movement to gain a deeper connection to yourself, meeting you where you right now.
We will also hold a confidential space for each sister to share anything that is on our hearts but there is no obligation to do this.
To close our retreat we will share in some well earned homemade plant based food, tea and cake, cooked with love and good intentions to nourish, ground and balance us before departing for home.
Hi, I'm Jessica Ashby and I'm a qualified teacher with over 12 years of practice and a dedicated lifelong learner for as long as I can remember.
My passion is people and how we heal through connection to ourselves and others. As someone who spent their childhood and teenage years hiding my feelings and living with often crippling anxiety, I feel happy and contented to share, that over time and through a lifetime of personal experience I have unlocked the tools to reverse these overwhelming feelings through various modalities under the umbrella of somatic experiencing, and I now live life with more confidence, connection and compassion towards myself and to others, enabling myself and my clients to ride the waves of emotions that inevitably come up on our human experience.
I have been working with the hammocks, (training, performing and teaching) since around 2013 and have made it my work to share the therapeutic benefits of using them. As well as using the hammocks, my passion is holding space for women to come together to share, feel and heal through the simplicity of sitting in circle.
I hope to sit in circle with you someday.
WORD ON THE STREET...
"She, (Jessica) has an amazing aura and grounded us all straight away. She fed our hearts, mind and soul in one session. But most importantly reminded us how amazing and unique our bodies are. We left with full hearts and even more connected to each than before. Highly recommend you do this 💗"
