Upside Motion City Hall

I tried an aerial yoga class, an xtend Barre class, and a basic Pilates mat class. Studio is very clean and pretty, and there are lockers where you can set a combination (huge plus as I hate carrying locks around). No showers but there is a changing area. The basic aerial yoga class was really fun (my first exposure to aerial yoga) — makes you feel stronger than you are for sure ;) will come back to focus on that offering!

If you’ve always been fascinated by Cirque du Soleil tricks and wanted to try something similar yourself (but much easier), then aerial yoga might be the thing for you. Hanging upside down in elegant postures from silk hammocks is a great for decompressing the neck and back. It’s much easier to do than a headstand or handstand, and no past yoga experience necessary (although very helpful).
I took the Yoga Fly classes and the «Antigravity Beginner’s course’.
You pay per drop-​in, and it’s not cheap at $ 30-​$ 40 per class. Sometimes there’d be first-​timers in the «Yoga Fly» classes, and then the instructor would go very slowly which was a waste of time and money. I think they’ve tried to fix that problem by separating beginners from non-​beginners. The advanced classes require you to be very strong, like being able to pull yourself up.
I enjoyed the Antigravity Beginner’s course, but towards the end it got to be a little too challenging and rushed doing tricks, and one of the tricks made me dizzy which isn’t safe when you’re doing all these upside-​down turns. So I skipped it.
I took about 10 classes. There were 2 separate accidents in the classes I was in. First check your equipment by pulling on the hammock very strongly. It needs to support your weight. If it feels close to breaking or things don’t look secure, move to another hammock or tell your instructor. (They tell you the hammock can support a lot of weight, but it doesn’t matter if the hammock isn’t secured properly.) The first accident I saw was because the hammock was not secured properly. The second tip is to listen to the instructor’s advice very carefully. Improper placement of hands, butt, or anything can lead to improper balancing, and falling down. Even if it’s your 5^th class, don’t get arrogant and try to ‘remember’ what you did. Because if you don’t do it right, you can land on your head.

If you are looking for something different then just another Hatha yoga or boot camp this is the studio! Ballet barre, pilates reformer, and yoga fly are available here. Classes are small and teachers are really great! Located a short walk from City Hall MRT. Mostly morning to lunch time classes and evening classes start at 6. Very clean studio, with spacious lockers and changing rooms, just wished they had showers.
