Fly-Yoga is the newest fitness craze to sweep over Bangkok, a new physical discipline that suspends you in the air as you stretch your joints and tone your muscles.

Fly-Yoga uses a piece of highly stretchable fabric to support your body while suspending it in the air. This allows you to kick, stretch and pirouette gracefully in all kinds of positions, even while hanging upside down. It sounds extreme but it’s just the opposite: by supporting some of your weight, the hammock prevents overstressing of the joints and compression of the spine. Try it out at these three venues.
