Bend and Fly, West End

In eclectic West End is where you’ll find the aerial classes of Bend and Fly. Brisbane’s self-described leading anti-gravity yoga studio, this inner-city den is devoted to the decompressing abilities of practicing in the air - classes will see you cocooned by a silk hammock as you learn to restore and repair the spine, and nervous system. But don’t fret - first timers are encouraged to take an aerial intro course to begin. Reassuringly for those who prefer to keep their yoga practice on the ground, there are a number of traditional floor classes also available.
