Aerial yoga uses a silk hammock as a tool to help you achieve and deepen traditional yoga positions. The weight of the body is either partially or fully supported by the hammock. You’ll move through a variety of yoga postures including inversions, hip openers, hamstring stretches, and restorative postures. The class will focus on mobility, strength-building, and decompression of the spine. Expect to have fun and get a good stretch from head to toe!

In our Intermediate Aerial Yoga class, we continue to use the silk hammock to move through a variety of yoga postures, that includes inversions, hip openers, hamstring stretches, and core strengtheners.
Using foundations from the previous level, this class also teaches flow sequences that infuses a bit of dance, as you transition from one pose to another.

We recommend having had 2-4 months of Aerial Yoga before trying this class.

This foundational class is designed for complete beginners! We will work on foundational skills like climbing, footlocks, simple poses close to the ground, and training inverts. There is a focus on conditioning to build strength for upper level moves. There are no prerequisites for this class.

This class builds on the foundations learned in Beginner Silks. In this level we work on aerial single footlocks as well as double footlocks with more advanced poses, hip keys in the air, and the fundamentals of basic body belays.

Pre Reqs

• Single foot lock both sides unassisted

• Russian Climb (ability to string together at least 2 full climbs)

• Standard/French climb (ability to string together at least 2 full climbs relatively cleanly)

• Knowledge and ability to descend using both the standard wrap descent and reversing the Russian Climb.

• Able to move through/combo 3+ single foot lock poses

• Key moves: flamingo, man in the moon, arabesque

• Comfortable hanging in an invert in the hammock

In this level we start to explore more complicated wraps and sequences. You will learn more advanced climbs such as the bicycle climb, Russian twist, Russian flirt, straddle climbs, and more. You’ll learn the fundamentals of wraps, roll-downs, and drops, and start taking more of your foundational moves higher in the air.

Pre Reqs

All Silks L1 prerequisites plus:

• Double foot locks unassisted (even/level feet)

• Climb to the top and descend safely in Russian and French climbs

• Able to invert from floor (doesn’t need to be clean)

• Understand the flamenco/twisted grip with proper engagement

Ready to take your aerial hammock skills to the next level? Our Aerial Hammock L1 class is designed for students who have a solid grasp of foundational hammock techniques and are ready to explore more complex movements and sequences.

Building on the supportive nature of the aerial hammock (or sling), this class will challenge you to deepen your understanding of aerial movement, leverage the fabric for dynamic transitions, and expand your repertoire of shapes and tricks. While the hammock continues to provide stability, we'll focus on refining your strength, flexibility, and spatial awareness to execute more intricate aerial artistry.

In each session, we'll warm up thoroughly before diving into new concepts. You'll work on inversions, wraps, and drops with increased confidence and control. We'll explore creative pathways, dynamic flows, and longer sequences, emphasizing smooth transitions and proper technique. Expect to develop greater upper body and core strength, as well as enhanced flexibility, as you navigate more challenging aerial choreography.

This class is perfect if you've taken about 6 months of beginner aerial hammock, feel comfortable with basic entries and exits, and can hold foundational shapes. Get ready to discover new possibilities in the air and continue your exciting aerial journey!

Aerial Sling Flow will have you spinning, moving in and out of the hammock, and dancing in the air! In this class we build on your foundational hammock knowledge and start building longer sequences and choreography.

Leggings required and long sleeve shirt recommended.  No metal (jewelry, zippers, etc) or anything that can snag on the hammocks.

These are not beginner level classes. We recommend having either 6 months of Lyra or Aerial Yoga experience to get the most out of this class.
