Christopher Harrison • Anti. Gravity Fitness techniques were created by Christopher Harrison, an acrobat whose quest for innovation took him to the World Games in gymnastics, to Hollywood as a dancer, to Broadway as a dancer and choreographer and into history as the Father of Aerial Yoga. • His journey was not free of challenges. As an extreme athlete, he tested the laws of gravity at every turn. As a result, he had both of his knees partially reconstructed by the time he was 25. Each challenge for Harrison was but another opportunity to learn more about the body. • Harrison started Anti. Gravity in 1991 as a reflection of his quest to fly. Anti. Gravity, a team of champion athletes, was America’s first contemporary aerial acrobatics performance company. They performed on world stages from the Olympic Games to the Academy Awards, Victoria Secret’s Fashion Show, and Obama’s first Presidential Inauguration. • Christopher has choreographed aerial numbers for Mariah Carey, P Diddy, Gwen Stefani, Pink, and Rihanna. He also choreographed for Disney’s Oscar nominated film “Enchanted” and “Lion King” for Disneyland Hong Kong. • In the mid 1990’s while in India, Harrison discovered yoga as a healing modality. Over time, he combined his yoga practice with his aerial arts invention, the silk hammock, and used it to heal his own body. His focus shifted to exploring the many benefits of his new ‘aerial yoga’ bringing it to wider populations in a safe environments. • As a result, Anti. Gravity Fitness was born in 2007, and is America’s first aerial yoga and suspension fitness company. • The original “Anti. Gravity Yoga” program started a new genre of yoga, exercise and bodywork. Harrison has now authored 9 programs. His techniques are practiced safely in over 50 countries worldwide.
