This is a beginner level class which uses the silks in a low level position to help introduce the student to the fabric and aerial yoga. It offers easy use for students to help gain confidence lower to the ground before moving up to a higher level fabric, but still pushes the body towards better flexibility and a more open mind.
Aerial Yoga
This is an all-levels class where students use aerial hammocks to gently support aerial poses and mindful stretches. Aerial yoga is a great foundation for aerial dance. You will learn many of the aerial postures while focusing on conditioning, strength building, flexibility, inverting and balance, which are all very important to aerial dance. This class ends with a long relaxation stage in the hammock cocoon.
Candlelit Restorative Aerial Yoga
Candlelit restorative aerial yoga is done with the hammocks low to the ground by candle light. This is a gentle practice using various yoga props such as blankets, blocks and bolsters, in addition to the aerial hammock. These propers will help assist you in your practice so that you can fully surrender into the postures allowing you to hold them for longer periods of time. This class is the perfect way to wind down from your day and calm your body and mind for a more restful night.
**Please note the first 15 minutes of class are spent fitting you to your fabric so that you can properly do poses low to the ground.
