Our aerial yoga teacher training is a yoga based, rather than acrobatic, form of aerial yoga using the soft yoga hammock to practice traditional hatha yoga. The hammock is a prop like a strap or block, intended to assist alignment, deepen awareness and provide the immediate benefit of spinal decompression. With the weight of the body partially or fully supported along with the help of gravity, we can explore and create space in our bodies as intended in traditional yoga practice. 4, record 2, English, - aerial%20yoga%20hammock

"Snug bag" refers to the comfort and the warmth of a bag and thus could be used, in writing, to convey feelings. "Sack" could be used to refer to a "bed", but would be the appropriate synonym of "hammock" and "bunk", temporary substitute-type beds. "Bedroll", a "bedding often of blankets only that is rolled up for ready carrying",(WEBIN, 1981,,, 196), is not a synonym of "sleeping bag", even if a sleeping could be rolled for easy carrying. 3, record 8, English, - sleeping%20bag

Parmi le «matériel» nécessaire pour une «bonne nuit», le sac de couchage est de loin le plus important, si ce n'est «L'indispensable». C'est lui qui tient chaud. La chaleur que «procure» un sac de couchage est fonction de la couche d'air contenue parmi le garnissage. En effet la chaleur est en réalité produite par le corps, le sac la maintenant dans un volume réduit. Il est donc très important pour juger de la qualité d'un sac de couchage de tenir compte de son gonflant. De plus il faut savoir que le «dessus» d'un sac est toujours plus chaud que le «dessous», ce dernier étant comprimé par le poids du corps, d'où l'importance sur sol froid ou humide de l'isolant si possible peu compressible. 5, record 8, French, - sac%20de%20couchage
