Sabine Joseph
Sabine has been practicing yoga for more than a decade. Her journey led her to complete a 200-hour teacher training at the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Farm in California, a school registered with Yoga Alliance. She went on to share her practice at retreat centres in Sri Lanka.
Drawn to the freedom and creativity of aerial yoga, she later completed an additional 250-hour training with the Aerial Yoga Academy, also accredited by Yoga Alliance.
Now based near Óbidos, Sabine offers aerial yoga classes at Vaya Yoga Studio. Her classes weave traditional yoga postures with the support of the hammock—ranging from grounding floor work and standing poses to flowing aerial sequences and playful inversions.
She teaches weekly group sessions at Vaya Yoga Studio and also shares her practice in other settings, including private sessions in nature. Sabine’s approach invites students to defy gravity, explore mindful movement, and reconnect with joy. Most importantly, she encourages everyone to have fun, stay curious, and embrace the freedom of flying together.
Description
Aerial Yoga
This 1-hour aerial yoga class is a gentle yet uplifting practice designed to support both body and mind. We begin with a mindful arrival, connecting to the breath, setting personal intentions, and getting comfortable with the hammock. Special attention is given to safety and building trust in the fabric as your support system, helping you feel grounded while preparing to take flight. The class flows through a series of movements supported by the hammock, combining grounding transitions with playful moments of suspension and lightness. The aerial fabric allows you to explore poses with greater freedom and ease, enhancing flexibility, building strength, and encouraging natural spinal decompression through gentle inversions. The hammock becomes a partner in your practice: offering support, inviting curiosity, and making space for both stability and exploration. We end with deep stretches and guided relaxation, cocooned in the hammock for a final moment of rest and stillness. The experience is calming, nourishing, and joyful, ideal for beginners or anyone seeking a fresh perspective on movement and mindfulness. Come as you are, and enjoy the freedom to move, float, and reconnect with your sense of play. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Aerial yoga is not recommended if you have conditions such as glaucoma, high or low blood pressure, vertigo, osteoporosis, carpal tunnel, a recent stroke or hernia, or if you've had surgery recently. Also, if you’ve had Botox within the last four hours, it’s not recommended to hang upside down.
