POLE
WHAT LEVEL AM I?
INTRO: Start here! First time ever or first time back, and anyone looking to work on and clean up their foundation skills are welcome to take any aerial class that includes "Intro" or "all levels welcome" n the title or description.
LEVEL 1: After about 8 classes, you are probably ready to try Level 1 classes. You should feel comfortable with walks, dips/illusions, pirouettes, 3-4 spins, pole stands, crunches, and sits. Level 1 is a BIG CATEGORY that includes a lot of conditioning and inversion prep, so you may end up wanting to keep in your schedule permanently!
Level 2: Once you are comfortable with the following: POLE: climbing to the ceiling, combining a few spins, connecting poses/positions on the pole, and freestyling with a few elements of aerial, base, and floorwork, Level 2 is where you will come to get upside down. All the inversions begin here. HAMMOCK: please consult instructor. Like Level 1, Level 2 is vast and deep!
Level 3 and up: After you confidently have a few different inverts from the ground and in the air in your toolbox, as well as comfort working with mixed sequences of skills and choreography, you are ready to hang out in Level 3+!

AERIAL HAMMOCK & VINYASA YOGA
AERIAL YOGA
Aerial yoga strengthens muscles and increases flexibility throughout the body. Using the aerial hammock, students flow through a series of postures and exercises, both traditional yoga poses and more circus-like, playful moves - while both using and counteracting gravity. The hammock facilitates deep stretching, helps build strength and, because of it’s high “play” factor, can reduce stress - a physical practice, but with a deep commitment to the mind-body connection.This practice is open to all levels, even with no prior yoga experience! Aerial yoga provides a full body engagement with a soothing savasana floating in your hammock. Come dangle! ALL LEVELS WELCOME.
RESTORATIVE AERIAL YOGA
Restorative Aerial Yoga is a calmer practice that de-stresses and decompresses the body by using the aerial yoga hammock low to the ground. Every movement is grounded. The hammock and your mat are the main props, but you can also bring your blocks and a yoga blanket for more support. By being grounded and lower to the ground each student can work on holding a gentle stretch for longer, with the option for modifications. The lower hammock can also be used for keeping your feet on the ground while also strengthening your upper body and practicing low inversions. We will stretch, strengthen, and invert while staying low to the ground. Let’s explore what lower movements can benefit you and your body. ALL LEVELS WELCOME.ALL LEVELS WELCOME.
AERIAL FLOW 360
What do you get when you cross aerial yoga with the circus? Aerial Flow 360! In this class we connect both points of the hammock to a single swivel, and then create beautiful, powerful aerial movement sequences. You control the spin & air time! Build strength and flexibility while developing graceful, connected skills. *Students must have at least 6 aerial yoga (double point) classes OR instructor approval. ALL LEVELS WELCOME.
FLEXIBILITY FLOW
This practice focuses on body and mind connection while simultaneously incorporating movement with breath.

Prepare your body for the challenges of life, family, work, and most importantly: aerial pursuits! Meet you on the mat! ALL LEVELS WELCOME.

We have both "taped" and "untaped" classes, meaning the hoop is either wrapped in a cloth tape or not. One is not "easier" necessarily, some prefer one over the other, some like both, so try them both! ALL LEVELS WELCOME.
