Aerial + Yoga classes

AERIAL R&R ☆

The intention of this class is to release stress and relax tension in the body & mind. Using the hammock at a low setting (knee height) as both a support and prop, we will flow slowly and mindfully through a range of poses that will provide deep stretches for the body and decompression in the spine.

Each restorative class will include a gentle supported inversion, providing the inversion therapy that aerial yoga is famous for. This class is great for beginners, and is a great way to try out inversions closer to the ground. The mood will be set with dimmed and twinkling lights, relaxing music and a slightly longer savasana.

BEGINNER AERIAL YOGA ★

Never taken aerial yoga before? This is a great place to start! Class will be taught at a pace suitable for beginners, with very thorough explanations. This class will be taught with the hammock at hip height unless otherwise noted.

By moving into various traditional yoga postures while supported by the aerial hammock, you will build core strength, achieve better alignment and mobility, and experience the benefits of inversions and spinal decompression. The supportive action of the hammock relieves tension in the muscles and joints, almost like a deep tissue massage.

ALL LEVELS AERIAL YOGA ★★

This is a flow-style class similar to our L1 flow, but it offers the opportunity for more dynamic and challenging movements in and around the hammock. We will spend the majority of the class on the floor, using the hammock as a prop, but we will begin to spend more time “in the air”.

Expect to see new variations to the basic Aerial Yoga poses, and to be challenged to find new ways to move with the fabric. Our Level 2 Aerial Yoga classes will flip your perspective, heal your body, and help you explore your adventurous side!

PRE-REQUISITES: Students should be comfortable getting in and out of the hammock without assistance, moving at a quicker pace, and doing both the front belt and back belt inversions. Many people who are interested in Level 2 classes are ready to try it out after 3-5 Aerial Flow Level 1 classes, but some people take 3-5 weeks or even 3-5 months. You do you.

AERIAL CORE FLOW ★★

This class is a fusion of Aerial Yoga and Pilates principles, with controlled movements and flowing sequences that will activate your core, challenge your balance/stability and support spinal alignment. Get ready to stretch and strengthen! Suitable for all levels.

AERIAL FITNESS ★★

The perfect class for people who want to get their heart rate up and work on improving their strength for aerial yoga! No previous aerial experience required. Class begins with gentle stretching and core work to get muscles warmed up. Then we use the hammock for strength training and inversions, and step out of the hammock to add cardio bursts of high intensity interval training (HIIT) exercises. Finally, we’ll move back into the hammock for stretching and a relaxing savasana.

AERIAL FLEXIBILITY ★★ - not currently offered

This creative flow-based class will focus on improving your active mobility in the muscles around your hips, shoulders, and spine by strengthening and lengthening your muscles to create stability and freedom of movement in the body. This is not just a passive stretching class - be prepared to put in a bit of effort!

BEGINNER AERIAL DANCE ★★

In this beginner Aerial Dance classes, we are not limited to traditional yoga postures. We will begin to spend more time in the air, being supported fully by the hammock, while we learn the building blocks of aerial dance. The majority of the class is about skill development, and you will work towards building a fluid sequence by the end of each class.

INTERMEDIATE AERIAL DANCE ★★★

In this class we’ll continuing refining the entries and transitions that we learn in our beginner aerial dance classes, while adding on more intermediate poses and tricks.

You’ll learn how to move with grace and intention as you begin to explore more challenging and creative moves. The more classes you take, the more you’ll begin to learn how to connect the dots between different movements and turn them into sequences and flows, and the more fun you’ll have flying through the air!

POWER AERIAL YOGA ★★★

This high-intensity class has it all: strength, stretching, AND entry level tricks. Prepare to have fun, and leave sweaty.

AERIAL OPEN PRACTICE | NO NEW STUDENTS

This is a self-led practice session when you can explore trying new things in the hammock. An instructor will be there to ensure member safety. You can play as much or as little as you would like here.

MAT BASED CLASSES

ROLL & RELEASE ☆

This class focuses on relieving physical tension or "knots" in the body and increasing mobility and proprioception (bodily awareness) by using therapy balls, breath, gentle movement, and visualization.

YIN YOGA ☆

This mat-based class consists of a series of long-held, passive floor poses that target the deepest tissues of the body, our connective tissues – ligaments, joints, bones, the deep fascia networks of the body and the meridians. The poses are typically held for 3-5 minutes, sometimes longer. During the asanas, muscles are relaxed to avoid muscle spasm, which could result from engaging muscles for long periods.

Relax into this class to release stress and anxiety, still the mind, and soothe your nervous system. This full body, deep meditative stretch is the perfect way to end your day.

BREATHWORK & MEDITATION ☆

How many hundreds of thousands of things do you think about every day? The mind continually wandering from one thing to the next. Pranayama, or breathwork, can help to reduced stress, fatigue, anxiety, and other emotional responses in order to enhance our physical and mental well-being. After some gentle movement to prepare the body for stillness, we'll use breathwork to learn to find stillness and bring awareness to the present moment.

We would love to add more mat based yoga classes. If you are a certified yoga instructor and would like to teach a yoga class at Valkyrie Fitness, please reach out to Roxy at info@valkyriefitnesstudio.com
