Riya in a cocoon

Aerial acrobatics and the attainment of spiritual tranquility may seem unlikely bedfellows.

Yet the two disciplines have been combined to create the latest craze sweeping fitness studios across America - upside down yoga.

AntiGravity Yoga, the brainchild of acrobat and gymnast Christopher Harrison, involves a thorough workout a few feet above the ground in a silk hammock that can close around the person inside to form a peaceful pod.

Participants use silk hammocks to improve blood flow and stretch spine.

Can also form cocoons to find zen state
According to Christopher, hanging upside down balances out the body, enhances abdominal workouts and opens up the spine.

New classes are being launched around the USA and franchises have been set up in Ireland and Italy. Sessions are now springing up in the UK.

gasp!

I will pass on this fad

I do the upside down balance by doing a headstand...that's as far as I will go. And it's actually peaceful
