Intro to Aerial Fitness

Level: beginner

This class is designed to teach the basics of aerial silks and aerial hoop (lyra) in a fun, energetic, and comfortable group class setting. In this class you will learn the basics of the silks (tissue) and hoop (lyra). With silks, you will learn the proper way to grip the silks, wrap the silks into footlocks,  safely ascend and descend on the silk and eventually progress into simple poses, inversions and transitions.  With hoop (lyra), you will learn the proper grips, balancing on the hoop, entering and exiting the lyra and eventually progress into simple poses, inversions and transitions. You do not have to be a professional or even a fitness junkie, you just need the desire to learn and to use your body strength in a new and different way.

Level: beginner/intermediate

Building on the fundamentals built in the Intro to Aerial Fitness classes, this class is designed to continue to teach the basics of aerial silks while focusing on building up the core & upper body strength, expanding flexibility levels and improving the body awareness while in the air.
