Η πρακτική της αιώρησης (AER FIT) είναι ένας μοναδικός τρόπος εξάσκησης, ο οποίος ενσωματώνει στοιχεία του functional training (μέθοδος εκγύμνασης με το βάρος του σώματος), τεχνικές ενόργανης γυμναστικής, εναέριες ακροβατικές κινήσεις (aerial acrobatics), ασκήσεις ενδυνάμωσης της μεθόδου Pilates, παραδοσιακές στάσεις της Yoga (Hatha Yoga, Therapy-Viniyoga), θεραπευτικές ασκήσεις (movement therapy) και ελεγχόμενες αναπνοές (breathing techniques). Η τεχνική της βασίζεται σε ασκήσεις που χρησιμοποιούν το σωματικό βάρος, το οποίο υποστηρίζεται από ένα ελαστικό πανί, την αιώρα (hammock).
Το ειδικό πανί βοηθάει και υποστηρίζει τον ασκούμενο έτσι ώστε να είναι ευκολότερο γι’ αυτόν να επιμηκύνει το σώμα (αύξηση ευλυγισίας- υγιέστερη σπονδυλική στήλη), να εμβαθύνει στις ασκήσεις (αποσυμφόρηση χρόνιων σωματικών εντάσεων), να αυξήσει την κινητικότητά του (καθημερινή λειτουργικότητα), να βελτιώσει την ισορροπία του και τον έλεγχο των κινήσεων του.
Η Aerial πρακτική μπορεί να γίνει απαιτητική και δυναμική (aerial acrobatics) αλλά και άκρως θεραπευτική και χαλαρή (therapy-viniyoga).
