Skybound Foundations
Wednesdays 6:00 PM
Come as you are.
Perfect for newcomers, this aerial class combines grit with excitement as you safely learn the fundamentals of aerial silks, hoop, hammock, and more. As a zero-expectations class, you will not need to have had any experience or exercise to safely and successfully get in the air. This is the class you take if you've ever said, "I'd love to learn aerials, but I should go to the gym and work out first."
Starting from the ground up under our expert guidance, you'll develop your inner strength, master the muscles, and build confidence in a supportive and exhilarating environment.
All levels welcome, including complete and total beginners.
