Yoga, a very popular wellness routine has proven to be effective. However, in order to get in a trace state, a yogis must have a quite environment for an effective meditation, an environment which is relatively hard to find in a place as noisy and busy as Manila. 

Beyond Yoga, is a different kind of urban sanctuary where they offer a different kind of Yoga. The Anti-gravity Yoga is an aerial art form developed by Christopher Harrison, founder of the acrobatic performances company carrying the same name. Similar to the traditional yoga where one executes yoga posses, but this is done in suspended animation.

Another unique feature is the dynamic motion where one can literally swing the body hanging on a very durable silk cloth which can actually carry up to one thousand pounds. This silk cloth acts like a trapeze which lets hang from the floor not more than three feet high. From the silk cloth, one can execute various yoga positions which allow the body to stretch and apply contour poses beneficial to joints and muscle groups. One benefit is the spinal decompression that allows the vertebrates of the spine to loosen a bit for added flexibility.
