How strong do you have to be to try Aerial Classes?
What are Aerial Arts?
Aerial Arts began in the circus. They combine feats of strength and flexibility with dance and are performed on various aerial apparatuses:
What should I wear/bring to Aerial class?
Is Aerial Yoga the same thing as Aerial Silks or Aerial Sling? (Hint: No!)
Although aerial yoga, aerial silks, and aerial sling (or aerial hammock) all use fabric, they are not the same thing! At Upside, we do not teach aerial yoga. Aerial yoga is still yoga: it just uses a fabric hammock to make yoga poses more accessible or more challenging, depending on how the hammock is used:
Who should NOT take Aerial classes? Is there a weight limit?
Almost anyone can try aerial classes. Age is not an excuse: some of our best students are over 50! However, there are certain scenarios where the risks can outweigh the benefits: very high or low blood pressure, vertigo, seizures, arthritis that interferes with hand gripping, pregnancy, or weight over pounds. It is recommended to carry no more than 40 pounds of excess body weight to avoid excessive strain on the joints. As with any fitness activity, if you have any health concerns, check with your health care provider before participating.
Why do Aerial classes cost more than typical fitness classes?
Upside's prices are similar to other aerial studios. But why are aerial classes more expensive than most other fitness classes?
Does Upside offer Kids' classes?
While we do offer private and semi-private lessons for kids age 9 and older who are committed to aerial training, we do not offer kids group classes. At Upside Aerial, our mission is to provide creative movement opportunities specifically for adults. There are so few opportunites for adults to engage in dance and playful, creative movement. But we feel strongly that adults need playgrounds too! So the age range of the majority of our students is 20 to 60+. Check out Upside Aerial student, Andy, at age 61!
