Yoga Classes
Chakra Flow:
Explore the Chakras through dynamic Yoga poses and singing bowls. This Yoga flow will encourage and improve movement through your energy points with the extra bonus of Chakra tuned singing bowls.
Flow, energize, balance, and tune in with this all-levels Yoga flow class.
Vinyasa Flow:
A balanced class moving the breath and body with a steady, but challenging, all levels pace. Linking your breath with your body creates a balanced Yoga flow that will strengthen muscles, stretch your body, and tune your nervous system. This is a dynamic style of Yoga with creative sequencing that can be physically challenging but rhythmically calming and balancing at the same time.
Hatha Yoga:
A little slower, and more instructional, but can still be a flow with more yoga pose breakdown and details about body alignment and mechanics. This class is perfect for those first beginning a Yoga practice. You will learn traditional applications of yoga and be introduced to Yoga postures, pranayama, and meditation.
Slow Flow:
Strengthening but slow pace, use strength to move rather than momentum, slow pace gives you time to move into the pose with a short hold before moving on to the next, great for newer students looking to still build some strength and heat.
Yoga Strength & Mobility:
This class will include methods and movements from Pilates, Sculpt, and traditional Yoga.
This is an all-levels class, and it will offer modifications for all movements. You can opt to not use weights, you can choose to stretch actively or restoratively, and you can choose to add a couple of extra chaturangas or rest in Child's Pose.
Flow + Sound Bath:
This class will begin with a Yoga Flow combining mindful movements and your breath to prepare your body for a deep relaxation at the end. Your relaxation will be accompanied by a soothing sound bath to wash over you, creating a fully integrated yoga experience for your body, mind, and spirit.
Special Instructions:
Online pre-registration and prepayment is required for this class. Spaces are limited.
Yoga Rope Wall:
This prop based class is perfect for those looking for a deep stretch and overall mobilization. Ropes rigged on the wall are used to help traction and stretch as well as offer balance and support to help make postures more approachable. This class will focus mostly on releasing tension and reducing pain, making it a somatic practice.
Special Instructions:
Online pre-registration and prepayment is required for this class. Spaces are limited.
Aerial Yoga:
Aerial Yoga is a hybrid of Yoga and Aerial Arts using a hammock to help deepen stretches, build strength, and open your mind to new ways of exercise movement. This class is the best way to prepare for more advanced Circus classes. We recommend this class to build strength in grip and core and increase mobility and range of motion in stretching. This is a challenging class, but your instructor will offer modifications to make your strengthening journey safe and enjoyable.
Special Instructions:
Online pre-registration and prepayment is required before attending. Spaces are limited.
What to Wear: Please wear long, close-fitting pants or leggings that cover the entire back of the knee. The midriff should be covered to protect the skin from the fabric. Ensure there are no zippers or buckles on clothing and prior to class please remove watches, bracelets, rings, and any hanging earrings.
YOga Sculpt:
A less traditional approach to Yoga; this class offers you a full body workout with light weights to assist your Power Yoga poses, stretches, moderate cardio movements, and Pilates inspired core work. This class will incorporate small hand weights and sometimes include ankle weights, resistance bands, and core balls. We will warm up with simple yoga stretches and work into core based movements to prepare your whole body for power building Yoga postures and Yoga inspired cardio movements.

Aerial Silks:
Aerial silks are rigged on a spinner at 13 feet rigging points. The silks are split ribbons that provide you with many options for conditioning grip, arm, and core strength. Build base strength on the silks to prepare your body and mind for more challenging skills such as climbing, wraps, dives, and drops. This class is all levels and will progress from conditioning skills through fundamental skills and into more intermediate and advanced options for continuing students.
Aerial Hoop (Lyra):
Our steel hoops are rigged at a moderate height for all levels to condition and prepare multiple levels of skills and transitions. Learn under hoop, in the hoop, and top hoop skills and transitions to create a fun sequence. Class will begin with a warm up and conditioning skills to move you comfortably into the hoop for more strength based skills. This is an all levels class and will progress from conditioning skills through fundamental skills and into more intermediate and advanced options for continuing students.
Aerial Sling:
Aerial fabric is rigged in a tear drop shape on a spinner for the dance inspired class offering more support than traditional split silks. This class is a great conditioning class for Aerial Silks, but is a beautiful stand alone practice for those that really like to spin and flow. You will learn inverts, climbs, wraps, rolls, and dives in this class. This is an all levels class, so we will safely progress from simple to complex movements and connections in the air.
Private sessions can be booked for: Silks, Sling, Lyra, Trapeze, Rope, cloud swing, and loops.

Pole classes will require bare skin, so dress in layers that are easy to remove down to shorts and sports bra.
All Levels: All Circus classes are all-levels, but that does not mean easy! Be prepared to work the same skill over and over until you are ready to progress to the next level. This is a multilevel curriculum program which means there may be students practicing at many levels of our curriculum. We offer modifications to all levels, however we will monitor each participant's progression and offer individual guidance; students are expected to work independently at their appropriate level of practice.
Weight limit 350lbs on all apparatus
Remember: absolutely no teaching of other students will be tolerated; you will be asked to leave the studio if you violate our safety polices. You must be on time to every circus and pole class; the warm-ups are extremely important, and if you are going to more than 2 or 3 minutes late, please reschedule for another class.
