Is hanging safe if I have never exercised?

Yes - this is actually one of the gentlest ways to start moving. Gravity Stretching isn't built for people who are already fit, it's built to meet you exactly where you are. Everything begins small, literally a few seconds of hanging, at your own pace, and the body asks for more once it feels ready. There's no strength or flexibility requirement to walk in.

A class runs on three simple principles: relax, breathe, and never push through discomfort. If something doesn't feel right, you stop and soften rather than push. Small groups of up to six mean the trainer can watch how you're doing and adjust the level for your body specifically, not a general routine everyone follows the same way. With 7 levels of practice, 5 of them open to anyone regardless of age or condition, a first-timer with zero exercise history isn't the exception, it's who the early levels are designed for.

What you'll likely notice is simple: gravity presses down on the body all day, and hanging gently reverses that, so there's often a feeling of lightness after the very first class. Deeper change is slower and more honest, discomfort tends to ease somewhere around class 4 to 6, and a stable result builds over about 10 classes, done once or twice a week rather than all at once.

This is a wellness practice, not medical treatment - if you have any pain that's severe, or that radiates or comes with numbness or weakness, it's worth having that looked at by a qualified professional before starting.
