Frequently asked questions.

Aerial Hammock

  • Aerial Hammock is a suspended, looped fabric that allows for tricks, drops, flips and combos. This apparatus resembles silks, but is a bit easier on the muscles.

    1. Promotes more ease in the body by allowing the release of muscle tension

    2. Enhances your practice by allowing you to explore familiar poses in a new way.

    3. Strengthens and tones your body, particularly arms, shoulders, back and core muscles

    4. Creates greater awareness of sensation in the body

    5. Gives the opportunity to step outside your comfort zone and experience something new

  • No! But you do need to have a basic level of fitness that will allow you to do things like lift your foot up to the level of the silk (hip height) and enough upper body strength to complete a modified push up (knees down on mat).

  • While our silks are professionally installed and secured and are completely safe to hold thousands of pounds of dynamic weight, we recommend a body weight limit of 200 lbs or less. If you weigh more, this does not mean you cannot practice with us. We do, however, request that you book a private appointment instead!

  • We recommend you avoid aerial yoga classes if you suffer from any of the following conditions: vertigo or other inner ear issues, vasovagal syndrome, sinusitis, recent concussion, brain injury, or stroke, recent Botox injections, glaucoma or other eye pressure problems, high or low blood pressure, history of heart conditions or heart disease, pregnancy beyond the first trimester, or epilepsy.

    Inversions, which are usually performed during aerial classes, can elevate blood pressure, increase intracranial pressure and create mechanical stress, which not all bodies are able to tolerate. You should always check with your doctor before engaging in any type of physical activity, including aerial yoga. Additionally, you should always listen to your body, and avoid or stop any activity that does not feel right for you.

  • We recommend close-fitting, but comfortable, clothing. Tank tops and shorts are discouraged, as the silk can pinch when directly against bare skin. Shirts with sleeves and longer pants or leggings are preferable. We also recommend that everyone coming to class wear socks, preferably with grip to minimize slipping and to keep your silks fresh.

  • Our aerial hammock classes can accommodate up to 10 students.

  • All aerial hammock students should plan to arrive no less than 5 minutes early, so that they can settle in and be at their silk by the start of class. Students who arrive later then 5 minutes will be unable to attend and will forfeit any payment. Late arrivals are treated as late cancellations. This policy is necessary in order to minimize class disruptions and ensure the positive experiences of all of our aerial hammock students.

  • Immerse yourself in the soothing sounds and transformative vibrations of a sound bath while floating in the hammock. When you are cocooned in an aerial hammock, it activates your parasympathetic nervous system which helps relax your body, mind, and soul. Our instructor, Kim, will guide you to unwind and disconnect from the daily stress and tension with the combination of guided meditation, gentle stretches, breathwork, and sound healing . Using instruments, such as crystal singing bowls, chimes,and drums, as she brings you on a rejuvenating self-care healing journey into a state of tranquility and inner peace. If the hammock is not for you, you can also lay on the mats provided.

    • Involve shifting the body's weight onto the arms, hands, and shoulders, thereby defying gravity and cultivating strength, balance, and focus.

    • Practitioner supports themselves primarily with their hands while lifting their feet off the ground, creating a sense of lightness and stability.

    • Inversions, like Headstand (Sirsasana) or Shoulderstand (Sarvangasana), involve fully or partially inverting the body, with the hips positioned above the heart and head.

    • Not only offer physical benefits, such as building upper body strength and improving circulation, but also promote mental clarity, confidence, and a deeper connection to one's inner strength and balance.
