About our Classes
Bring your sense of fun and adventure to our fabulous classes! Our classes challenge body, mind and spirit. Overcome fears, master new skills, get some great bruises to show off to your friends. All skill levels welcome.
Come see why we’ve been featured in Time Out New York, American Fitness Magazine, on socialworkout.com and NBC’s “First Look”, to name a few.
“Heather’s classes have literally changed my life… I was completely out of shape and never exercised before I started taking Aerial Acrobatics. I was amazed by how much progress I made in just a few weeks. Heather keeps classes small and does a fantastic job of working with people at all levels. I’m so excited to actually find a form of exercise that’s fun! I actually look forward to classes all week.”
– Leila B, Project Manager

WHAT TO EXPECT
Classes begin with a brief cardio warm-up, followed by stretching and strengthening on the ground and in the air, focusing on core and upper body. Then we learn skills, phrases and performance techniques.
Aerial uses muscles we don’t use in everyday life. Expect your hands and forearms to tire first. You may be sore after your first few classes.
WHAT TO WEAR
Wear tight-fitting yoga-type clothing with your armpits, waist and backs of the knees covered. Ladies: make sure ‘the girls’ are well controlled – you will be going upside down. Gentlemen: briefs, not boxers. A dance belt is even better.
Bare feet – please make sure they are clean and fresh. Long hair tied back.
No jewelry, rivets, zippers, or anything else that could damage the silks.
