Adult Class Descriptions
Aerial Yoga
Aerial yoga combines traditional yoga with aerial arts, using a suspended hammock or sling to perform postures. The hammock provides support, allowing for deeper stretches and inversions while reducing stress on joints. This class is designed for all levels and all bodies.
Introduction to Aerial Arts Classes
This introductory class is designed for brand-new beginners and will cover the foundational skills for silks and hoop.
In Introduction to Aerial Arts, you can expect to learn skills like climbing, foot knots, straddle inversion in the knot, and basic foot knot skills low to the ground on silks. You will learn how to properly mount and dismount the hoop as well as basic poses in the hoop.
There are no prerequisites for beginning Introduction to Aerial Arts if you are physically capable of the skills.
Progression into Level 101 classes will require the following:
The ability to mount the hoop cleanly without heavy spotting
The ability to string 2‐3 skills together while staying up in the air on both hoop and silks
The ability to hold your body in a bent arm position on the hoop and silks with proper form for 10 seconds
The ability to take 1‐2 climbs on silks
Working knowledge of the introduction to aerial arts skills

In Level 101, you can expect to build on the foundational skills you learned in the intro series and begin exploring new progressions and skills based on basics like foot knots, hip keys, front balance, back balance, catcher's wrap/position, crochet, and x‐back. On hard apparatuses, you will build on basic skills on the top bar and ropes and begin learning more complex sequences and skills that require moving in and around the apparatus.
