No matter your level of experience in traditional yoga, aerial dance, or gymnastics, if you’ve never taken Aerial Yoga before, please start with this class. While this is a Basics / Level 1 class, teachers will offer progressions for regular students to begin learning advanced-beginner aerial acrobatics & yoga postures as they gain increased confidence in working with the hammocks.
