A new fitness exercise called aerial yoga or antigravity yoga in which practitioners hang from a hammock suspended from the ceiling is becoming popular in Japan.

近日，一種名為“空中瑜伽”或者“反重力瑜伽”的新型健身運動在日本悄然流行，練習者借助掛在房頂上的吊床懸在空中。

The new type of yoga, which originated in New York, is claimed to strengthen the muscles while giving people a feeling that they are floating and relaxing at the same time. People attending class after work struck various acrobatic poses similar that of a bird or Superman while suspended in red, yellow and blue hammocks.

這種新型瑜伽起源于紐約，據稱能增強肌肉，給人一種懸浮，同時很放松的感覺。人們下班后會參加瑜伽課，“空中瑜伽”姿勢有多種，和鳥兒或超人的姿勢類似，懸掛在紅色、黃色或藍色的吊床上。
