      Starting on May 21st (next Friday), we will be able to welcome more of you back into the studio at once! Governor Carney has declared that capacity restrictions at gyms will be lifted as long as we continue to wear our masks and can maintain a distance of at least 3 feet apart. Lucky for you- our hammocks are already spaced at this distance to allow for all of our fun flips and tricks!

      Thank you all for bearing with us during this unprecedented year! Together we have come out stronger, both physically and mentally, and closer than ever! We are so excited to welcome more of you back into the studio. You can’t see it, but we are smiling ear to ear under our masks and can’t wait to give you an air hug!

      Starting Friday, May 21st, maximum capacity for our hammock classes will be 6-8, and bungee and Lyra classes will remain at 4. Be sure to check our calendar to reserve your spot - and don’t forget to snag a spot on the waitlist if the class is full! Stay tuned for more updates next week! - Kelsey

PRESS RELEASE  March 1, 2013  (updated March 2015)

Latest Therapeutic Yoga Has Arrived to Northern Delaware  by Zina's Organics and Wellness 

HOCKESSIN, DE | March 1, 2013 Zina DiTonno of Zina's Organics and Wellness introduces the Wilmington area to the advantages of her aerial yoga studio, settled at the intersection of Capital Trail and Meadowood. "VaihAyasa" aerial yoga is not acrobats! In fact, this recently developed style combines traditional hatha floor poses while using a hammock for therapeutic support. Aerial practice has several advantages opposed to traditional, which includes stretching and strengthening without over stressing your joints or vertebrae.  Zina's studio, Aerial Fun & Fitness offers introductory classes and private sessions. Sign up is available online at http://www.aerialfun.com

VaihAyasa is Sanskrit for being or moving in the air, suspended in the air, sky-dwellers.  This particular brand of aerial yoga allows new participants to build trust while sitting and stretching in the hammock at their own pace.  In general, participants use the hammock to counteract gravity. As a result, this combination relieves compression from the neck and spine. Other benefits include, finding proper alignment and reaping the benefits of inversions. Even "The Dr. Oz Show" featured inversions as an important health secret for your body and mind. Dr Oz highlights that inversions stretch the lower back and sends extra blood to your head which stimulates serotonin production. 

In the upcoming months, Zina will be offering a fully grounded class in her schedule too.  This class is ideal for those unsure about full aerial poses, yet wish to reap some of the benefits.  Also, an aerial fitness style class will be offered to focus on full body and core strengthening. Zina's studio can accommodate for private personal or group session which can be set up by contacting her directly.

Zina, who was recently certified at the Kaya Wellness Center in Rehoboth Beach, states that VaihAyasa Aerial yoga has many additional benefits... "it  promotes lymphatic drainage and tones your body.  Zina admits, "Aerial yoga became the answer for keeping my mind and body primed for simple everyday activities." This type of yoga practice will help women and men regain movement to feel young again.  Participants from varying ages of 25 and 72 agree, "it's fun too."
