About Swet Studio

The owner of Swet Studio,  Silviya Mihaylova, first developed the idea for an aerial yoga studio in Boston by recognizing how a multidisciplinary approach to fitness could benefit the area.

Cubbies are available for you to store your possessions during your workout. Unfortunately, showers are not provided. However, with its great location it is easy to squeeze in a visit to this studio as you go about your day!

What is Antigravity Fitness?

Antigravity fitness is a form of exercise that incorporates using either a fabric hammock or ropes to bring your workout to the air. Swet Studio builds this element into several different classes by using silk hammocks. The most popular is aerial yoga, which is reflected in the schedule by having the most times available for these classes. Aerial yoga involves using a hammock to elevate more classic yoga poses. For example, the hammock helps further extend backbends for a deeper stretch. In addition to the poses and stretches, the term ananda is used to describe the feeling of joy that comes from meditation while hovering above the ground. The mindfulness aspect is something we really love about this practice! 


While yoga is the most common form of fitness using this method, Swet Studio also offers several other antigravity classes. These classes include aerial barre, pilates, flexibility, power flow, and more! They also offer several classes specially for beginners, so you are able to familiarize yourself with how to use the hammock in a safe and effective way before jumping into more advanced classes. 


Benefits

A lot of the benefits to antigravity fitness overlap with the benefits seen in a typical workout class. However, antigravity fitness allows for a greater impact of these benefits due to the use of new muscles and utilizing the hammock for a deeper stretch. Some of these benefits include improved strength, flexibility, balance, kinesthetic awareness, and so much more. Another highlight is the ability to complete advanced yoga moves without compressing your back or neck in a harmful way. This workout as a whole promotes holistic wellbeing through such a diverse range of benefits. Antigravity fitness is an incredible way to take your wellness routine to the next level, and we highly encourage you to experience these benefits first hand through trying a class!


Conclusion

Antigravity fitness is a unique way to spice up your routine! With colorful hammocks and a welcoming community, you are sure to have fun while getting in a great workout. This experience allows you to improve many different aspects of your fitness from improved flexibility to building strength. Several discounts are offered to new clients to allow them to test out the class. We highly recommend taking advantage of this deal so you can start soaring towards your fitness goals in no time!
