AntiGravity LAB — Local services in New York

I've been coming to Christopher's class for just over a month now and had to leave a review! I have a panic disorder that has affected almost every facet of my life. And while I know not every technique will be a best fit for everyone- attending this class has really helped me. I've known for a long time that the mind/body connection is incredibly strong and have attempted many times to heal both but for the most part traditional therapy modalities revolving around panic are tailored primarily to the healing of the mind. While this class is not labeled as therapy, I've tried so many other methods to get into my body but something about aerial yoga makes such a strong, healing connection. While the sensations of being upside down and some of the movements can be a bit overwhelming for someone who is overly sensitive to sensations in the body, its worth pushing through that initial discomfort and both Christopher and other instructors always encourage you to check in with your body and only do what you feel comfortable with. After two classes, my body began trusting the process and every time I attend I find that I'm able to relax into the movements more and more. The new clarity in my body has allowed for clarity and calm in my mind. Now, when I begin experiencing panic, I have a new stability to draw from and because I feel so much better overall I've had the energy, strength and clarity to begin developing other habits that are further helping me address anxiety in my daily life. It's so worth a try and for anyone out there who may be experiencing similar issues or just need to feel more in touch with your body- I can't...

Christopher is clearly knowledgeable—he mentioned founding anti-gravity yoga and guided us through a well-rounded session that included stretching, strength work, and inversions. However, his humor is a central part of the experience and may not be for everyone. For example, he joked that we had to laugh while swinging or he’d come “tickle” us—but his tone and presence made it feel more like a command than a suggestion.

His feedback can also feel insensitive to different abilities and learning styles. A few beginners, who appeared new to anti-gravity yoga and were visibly struggling, was told, “No… no! / Figure it out! / Just try to look like me!”—which didn’t seem supportive, especially as the students looked uncomfortable and didn’t engage with the humor.

Photos were also taken on an iPhone (unclear if it belonged to Christopher or the studio) and Airdropped at the end; you can opt out during class if you prefer not to be photographed.

Toward the end, the studio’s small dog joined us in a hammock and barked to “help wake us up.” If you have pet allergies, it’s a good idea to call ahead and ask about accommodations.

The studio itself is clean, with friendly staff, a water dispenser, and well-maintained changing rooms and restrooms.

I would still recommend the studio overall—it has a welcoming atmosphere, and I had a great experience with another instructor. If you’re newer to anti-gravity yoga or prefer a more hands-on, supportive approach with a different teaching style, you might find another instructor at the studio to be...
