We start on a low wire (one foot) and slowly walk our way up (six feet). Open to all levels. Thick socks required.

Designed for participants of all fitness levels this class utilizes an aerial fabric hammock (that hangs roughly 3 feet off the floor) for an elevated take on traditional asanas. We swing sway breathe and explore traditional yoga poses with a new relationship to gravity while staying close to the floor. The class begins on the mat moves to expanded heights and takes us home to a new sense of center. Beginners to both yoga and aerial are welcome in any aerial yoga class.

Trapeze was the first apparatus coach Sam learned, and she believes understanding trapeze enhances performance on all other aerial equipment. Class material will be custom-suited every week to the students registered, and may include conditioning, individual skill-building (below the bar, seated, standing, and in the ropes), spinning or swinging on dance trapeze, synchronized or weight-sharing skills on triple trapeze.

This class is suitable for any and everyone that would like a chance to explore movement and build strength! Depending on enrollment and desire, areas of study may include silks, sling, rope, web, lyra, trapeze, sphere, acro, contortion, partner work, basic juggling and hula hooping, flying pole, or general flexibility/strength/endurance training.

Aerial is for all bodies. This class will focus on the Lyra from a plus size coach’s perspective. Our bodies are strong and the mechanics or way a move looks will vary depending on our body’s shape or size. This class will support you in accomplishing skills in a way that takes advantage of your body’s strengths while ensuring you feel supported and safe.

This class is an excellent choice for students who are brand new to aerial arts or for existing students looking to further develop their strength and active flexibility! We will utilize a variety of aerial apparatuses and props to strengthen and lengthen our muscles. Class material will change weekly but will always include callisthenic exercises and stretches that can be repeated at home. Do you have any specific aerial-related goals? Share them with your instructor and you will receive personalized exercises to target them!

Trapeze was the first apparatus coach Sam learned, and she believes understanding trapeze enhances performance on all other aerial equipment. This class will focus specifically on triple trapeze (a bar and rope apparatus with three side-by-side spaces for humans to occupy). Unlike other apparatuses, this one emphasizes teamwork and timing. Alongside learning individual skills, as we develop confidence we will put together larger shapes that incorporate 4, 5, or even 6 bodies on the same trapeze!

This class is suitable for aerialists with experience on silks who are looking to improve upon coordination and control. This class is a great clinic for students who are feeling stuck on particular silks techniques such as inversions and hip keys. Sequences will be built from a combination of new skills and things learned in beginner silks.

Partner Balancing (also known as AcroYoga) is a fun, beginner friendly class that involves body weight sharing. Each move we learn will involve three roles: a base, a flyer, and a spotter. We encourage students to try all three roles, but it's not a requirement. We primarily focus on L-basing, which generally involves the base being on the ground on their back and lifting the flyer with their feet. We normally shuffle up the group throughout the class so everyone gets to work with different partners, however this is NOT a requirement. Come alone or with a partner, and if you prefer to work exclusively with a partner, just let us know. There is a component of physical touch that is inherent to this class. We emphasize consent, and everything is optional! You will find yourself laughing a lot, having fun, and making new friends! Aside from being loads of fun, this class will also help you build strength, flexibility, and balance, and the skills make an excellent addition to any performers toolbox!

Prereqs: Ability to hold one's body weight fully and hold body up in a tuck position with bent arms. This class is suitable for a variety of skill levels. As these apparatuses are inherently demanding of ones upper-body, it is advised that students attending have happy, healthy wrists and shoulders (or are very capable of listening to their bodys signals and scaling back when necessary). Explore a wide variety of conditioning exercises, then skill build on one or both apparatus, with sequences growing each week. When students develop abilities on straps and rope, every other apparatus becomes easier!

Your coaches will be keeping track of our weekly rotations so every student has the chance to work on each apparatus and with each coach as the weeks progress. Apparatuses include rope, sling, trapeze, and lyra. If you want to take silks, please attend our other silks classes on the same day. Intermediate/advanced students will have the chance to hone their dynamic skills, musicality, technique, creativity, and learn new tricks, climbs, and shapes.

A lyra class for intermediate and advanced students who love technical puzzles, creative movement, and exploring new pathways. We will build on foundational material from beginner classes, work on fundamental dynamic skills, and learn how to play and create. Each class will begin with a group warm up and conditioning on the lyra. We will then move on to skill building, sequence creation, and exploring technically challenging but creatively exciting new skills and planes of the hoop. Some classes will be serious, some playful, often both. Some classes will be skill-focused, some will be collaborative, and some will be very exploratory. Caroline will offer a wealth of prompts and resources to help you develop your own style of movement on lyra, challenge how you think about this apparatus, and discover new ways to connect with your hoop. Prereqs: double knee hang, ability to hold yourself up with bent and straight arms, multiple entries for mounting the hoop, willingness to push yourself creatively.

The focus of this class is to strengthen foundational skills, learned prior in beginner silks classes, by linking them together to build endurance, explore inversion-based moves, and improve technique through moderate conditioning. We will work towards taking skills higher in the air to build confidence and courage. Climbing drills, inversion preparation, and circus terminology/mild fabric theory will be heavily implemented in this class!
