​Welcome to a warm, inclusive, and supportive aerial space where you are encouraged to move, explore, and thrive at your own pace.

From the moment you step into the studio, the focus is on helping you feel confident, accepted, and safe. This is a nurturing environment designed for you to build strength, trust your body, and enjoy your aerial journey — whether you’re brand new or continuing your practice.

This handbook is here to make everything feel simple, easy, and clear, so you can relax and focus on what truly matters: feeling supported, empowered, and at home in the air. 

​

What to Expect in Your First Class

Starting something new can feel exciting and a little nerve-wracking — that’s completely normal. Your first class is designed to feel simple, supportive, and welcoming.

In your first class, you can expect:
- A friendly welcome from your instructor, and a chance to meet your fellow classmates 
- A guided warm-up to prepare your body safely
- Clear explanations and demonstrations
- Options and modifications so you can move at your own pace

​

You’ll be encouraged to take breaks whenever you need. There’s no pressure to perform, keep up, or get anything “right”. Building confidence, feeling safe, and enjoying the experience matter most.

You don’t need to be strong, flexible, or experienced — everything is taught step by step in a nurturing and empowering way.

During Classes
Filming

- There is strictly NO filming of instructors during demonstrations and classes.
- An instructor may grant permission for students to film a particular skill, if they feel comfortable in doing so. 

- Students may film themselves during class times. Please be respectful of other students if you are filming yourself, and ensure they are happy to be filmed if they are in the background.
- Posting videos to social media is fine, as long as anyone in the background has approved to be in the frame. 

 

Cleanliness

- If you bleed or make a mess on the equipment please notify staff ASAP. We get it, accidents happen! Please make staff aware so they can deal with it promptly. 

- Bring a sweat towel in hotter months.

- After classes and sessions all students are required to wipe down the crash mats they were using. Spray and wipes are provided for this.

​

Late Arrivals

If you arrive late to class, a set warm-up must be completed before joining the class. This is essential for safety and injury prevention.

- You may be asked to complete the warm-up independently

- Joining the class without completing the warm-up is not permitted

- If too much of the class has passed, you may be unable to participate

While we do not encourage regular spectators for adult classes we do allow the occasional family member or friend to watch. Spectators must stay upstairs and are not permitted in the training area.
