I have had 8 qualified physical therapists since being seriously injured in a car accident; Carmen's expertise, approach and abilities puts her in a different league of healers than all the rest. I recommend her private lessons to anyone healing from their broken body! (Whitney C.)

AIReal Yoga provides significant physical benefits. The use of the hammock helps prevent injuries by supporting the joints and allowing for deep muscle relaxation, which facilitates faster recovery and improves overall body mechanics and flexibility. Additionally, AIReal Yoga enhances proprioception, balance, and muscle endurance.
Beyond the physical advantages, AIReal Yoga also offers profound mental wellness benefits. The practice calms the nervous system, reducing stress and anxiety, while the meditative aspects sharpen concentration and enhance mental clarity, helping maintain focus and resilience, while reducing inflammation, pain and depression.
