As an award-winning Broadway Aerial Choreographer who brought the aerial arts to Broadway, Christopher Harrison is proud to announce AntiGravity® AIRbarre. This extensive Aerial Dance Conditioning program is, the newest Aerial Fitness technique to come out of AntiGravity Fitness, Originators of the Suspension Fitness and Aerial Yoga genres. Harrison was assisted in the creation of this exciting new program by Certified AntiGravity Master Instructor Trainer, Lorianne Major.

Dance develops ideal bodylines through the toning and lengthening of muscles, while also developing balance and agility. Recently, new methods of ballet barre training have found their way into fitness studios as participants notice the many benefits of training physical grace. AntiGravity's version, AIRbarre, challenges the body and mind beyond the vertical plane and up into the air!

"Dance classes always start at the barre with pliés. As a disciplined Broadway dancer and guest artist with the Metropolitan Opera Ballet for numerous years, this classical form of training has been deeply engrained into my psyche. Transferring much of the movements to a silk hammock that allows for 3d movement on multiple planes has been thrilling. The beautiful and talented Lorianne Major has helped me put together this latest AntiGravity technique with playful class designs that inspire movement. It is accessible to non-dancers, with the Harrison Hammock helping them find alignment, and also challenges accomplished dancers, giving them more airtime in jumps!" Christopher Harrison, creator

Whether you are a fitness enthusiast eager to try to new forms, a dancer who wants to explore the air or an aerialist who wants to work on lovely lines, AntiGravity AIRbarre will get you up and flying!

AntiGravity^® Yoga Restorative is the gentle, healing side of Christopher Harrison€šs AntiGravity Yoga. This powerful method focuses the mind through powerful visualizations as it floats the body through a series of gentle gyro-kinetic motions, deeply opening the entire spine, hips, and connective tissues of the body. This technique features full body inversions, alongside various forms of flowing spinal traction. It offers accessibility to students with physical limitations, but is loved by all as a portal into deeper spinal flexibility, and mind/body connection. Taught in a sequential flow to music, the class incorporates levitating meditations, zero-compression inversions, supported sun salutations, joint opening poses, and a floating sivasana. Working from different hammock heights allows for the gentle opening of hips and spine.

AntiGravity® 1on1 (session design "D-kink") was created specifically for the certified personal trainer (PT). The sequences allow the PT to provide their clients with innovative ways for adding decompression to their client's fitness regime, thereby balancing their workout. This is a one-day course and does not require prior AntiGravity® certification. 

This is a Class Design, available to instructors certified in Fundamentals 1&2 for download.

Class Description:
Supercharging the Power Nap: According to the National Sleep Foundation, research shows that naps can restore alertness, enhance performance, and reduce mistakes and accidents. A study at NASA on sleepy military pilots and astronauts found that a 40-minute nap improved performance by 34% and alertness 100%.  Naps can increase alertness in the period directly following the nap and may extend alertness a few hours later in the day.
A 15 minute nap can make up for a poor night€™s sleep.  Additionally, napping has psychological benefits. A nap can be a pleasant luxury, a mini-vacation. It can provide an easy way to get some relaxation and rejuvenation.

AntiGravity® Cocooning is a 30-45 minute class that takes participants through basic stretching and mobility sequences before placing them into the Cocoon for a guided meditation.

Class Designs do not extend AGDA membership.

On Becoming a Star Instructor Trainer:

Star Instructor Trainers are acting at a Leadership level in AntiGravity Fitness and are responsible for presenting courses designed to teach certain persons to become Certified AG Fitness Instructors. There are only a limited number of Star Instructor Trainers. Becoming a Star Instructor Trainer gives a chance to profoundly increase your knowledge of AG Fitness techniques while also generating more income. You will not only be able to keep presenting classes to the public but also teach courses creating new Certified AG Fitness Instructors. There is even the possibility of offering one day "mini-retreats" at your center or studio.


Where to Begin - Become a One Star Instructor Trainer:

Becoming a One Star Instructor Trainer is the first step. A One Star Instructor Trainer is responsible for preparing new AG Fitness Instructors to present AG Fundamentals 1 & 2 to the public. To apply to become a One Star Instructor Trainer you must be an active Certified Level Two AG Fitness Instructor. This means you are actively teaching the public classes in AG Fundamentals 1 & 2 AND either classes in AG Aerial Yoga 1 & 2 OR AG Suspension Fitness 1 & 2.

There is a four (4) day course required to prepare you to become a One Star Instructor Trainer. In this course, you will revisit the AG Fundamentals One & Two experience and explore all the elements so as to be able to teach novice instructors. Teaching new instructors requires a much higher level of understanding than presenting classes to the public. This four day course is both demanding and very satisfying to any person wanting to grow professionally.
