Gravity Yoga Trapeze

With Lori Capra

Trapeze yoga is a flow of postures supported by a fabric swing with handles at three different heights. Some postures are performed entirely in the trapeze while others are performed with one or two feet on the ground, on hands and knees, or lying on the ground. 

While full inversion is not required to enjoy the benefits of this practice, there are opportunities to do so for those who are curious and comfortable. The trapeze is not high off the ground, so anyone with a fear of heights doesn’t need to worry!

$30 drop-in * 4 class pack $100 * 8 class pack $175

TUESDAY 5:30PM-6:30PM
SUNDAY 1:30PM-2:30PM

Lori Capra is a Certified Yoga Instructor & Certified Yoga Trapeze Trainer. Lori has been doing yoga since she was 16. (now 55!) At the age of 20 Lori trained to become a Carpenter and then ran her own construction company for over 30 years, on the East Coast and here in Olympia WA.

 In 2017 she opened Gravity Yoga LLC. The first studio dedicated to Yoga Trapeze or Aerial Yoga here in the South Sound. 3 successful years passed, thousands of people were introduced to Yoga Trapeze, a new and exciting addition to the Yoga family.  

Each 50-minute trapeze yoga flow includes time for breathwork at the beginning and savasana at the end. Lori leads every class with demonstrations and dialogue. 

 

Classes are generally quiet and meditative, but the atmosphere is light. Students are supportive and encouraging of one another and Lori fosters a fun community vibe. 

 

All ages and experience levels are welcome in every class and students are encouraged to work within their own limits. Stay curious but stay safe!

Trapeze yoga builds strength and flexibility in the entire body. The nature of the body’s interaction with the trapeze puts special emphasis on core muscles, arm muscles, and grip strength.

Students with stubborn back pain or chronic hip and shoulder issues find therapeutic relief with trapeze yoga.
 
Anyone ready to invert will experience the blissful release of hanging with the head below the heart. Relax into gravity – your spine will thank you!
