Elevate offers classes for everyone! From relaxing to strength building, and everything in between!
Because we want you to have the best experience possible, we ask that all new students read the class descriptions before registering for our classes so you know what to expect. We also require all new students attend our Fundamentals Workshop before attending our Level 1-3 classes. This ensures you feel comfortable navigating the aerial silk before joining class and for those that have taken aerial yoga classes in other studios understand the queuing used in our space.
All classes are 60 minutes (unless otherwise noted) and are categorized as:
YOGA NIDRA
This 45 minute class begins with a guided meditation into a state of deep relaxation where breathing and thoughts are slowed. As you drift into a conscious state of sleep, known as yogic sleep, you will float weightless in the aerial silk above the ground as you experience complete physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. Aside from being relaxing, restorative and restful, yoga Nidra improves mental clarity, increases your energy, your creativity & intuition will flourish and mood swings & emotional upsets are minimized.
