Aerial Yoga
Flow in Mid-Air.
Aerial yoga uses a silk hammock to allow students to perform postures that they may not be able to attempt on the yoga mat.


Anyone can practice aerial yoga
Aerial yoga is beneficial for students who spend a long time sitting, or who have back pain. It has particular benefits for strengthening and stretching the whole body, decompressing the spine, improving circulation, boosting digestion and lifting one’s mood. Aerial strengthens the core, arms, and lower body.
We offer the following aerial yoga classes
Aerial Yoga
Level 1
Aerial Flow
Level 2
This class is a step up from the traditional “Aerial Yoga” class. We will work on going deeper into the postures we learned in Level 1, increasing flexibility, strength, and trust. The yoga flows will be longer, working to build mobility and strength within the silk.
Aerial Skill
Level 3
Level: Intermediate to Advanced. This class focuses on strength and conditioning to tackle more advanced tricks. More complex strength poses will be introduced. These poses will require core and arm strength, therefore you must take at least 5 lower-level aerial classes beforehand.
