Aerial Yoga: Foundations for Longevity and Balance - [$]
Full
Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.
Every yoga practice reaches into the elemental realms. Aerial yoga is no exception.

In this welcoming introduction to aerial yoga, we explore how the hammock becomes a partner in cultivating sustainable movement, resilience, and long-term vitality. Grounded in the traditions of Hatha Yoga, this practice integrates breath, alignment, and mindful exploration of foundational postures including forward folds, standing balances, twists, gentle inversions, and supported reclined shapes.

The aerial hammock allows us to move with both stability and spaciousness—decompressing the spine, lengthening muscles, and encouraging fluid movement throughout the body. As we work with the elements of earth, water, fire, air, and space, each posture becomes a bridge between grounding and expansion.

This class invites practitioners to discover how a supported practice can sustain mobility, nourish the nervous system, and cultivate the kind of embodied well-being that allows us to show up fully in our lives and communities.  Whether your feet rest on the earth or float gently in the air, we explore the place where sky and earth meet—within the body.

No aerial yoga experience necessary.

The spine is the highway of consciousness.
In this Kundalini Yoga class, we awaken and strengthen the spine through rhythmic movement, conscious breath, and mantra. As energy flows more freely through the central channel, awareness expands—bringing clarity, resilience, and a deep sense of aliveness. As the yogic saying reminds us, “You are only as old as your spine.”  This practice promotes longevity, vitality, and ease in the body and mind.

Heart-Centered Aerial Yoga for Connection & Community [$]
Filling
Limited Capacity filling up
Thriving together begins with remembering that we are not separate.

In this heart-centered aerial yoga practice, the hammock becomes both a support system and a metaphor for the ways we hold one another in community. Through mindful movement, breath, and supported postures, we explore how personal well-being strengthens our ability to show up for others with presence, compassion, and purpose.

The aerial hammock assists us in finding spaciousness in the body through gentle inversions, supported stretches, and fluid transitions that encourage mobility, circulation, and nervous system balance. As we move between grounding and suspension, we experience the profound effects of being supported—physically and energetically.

This practice invites reflection on the yogic principle of seva, or selfless service, reminding us that when we nourish our own vitality, we become better able to offer care, generosity, and stability to the communities around us.

Together we will move, breathe, and rest—cultivating resilience not only within ourselves, but within the collective field we share.Because thriving is not a solo endeavor. It is something we practice together.

No aerial yoga experience necessary.

Thriving Together: A Meaningful Music Experience
Filling
Limited Capacity filling up
In this heart-opening vinyasa + live music experience, Adam Brous guides a fluid, chakra-balancing flow with special focus on Vishuddha, the throat chakra — the energetic center of communication and authentic expression.

Through breath, movement, and intentional sequencing, you’ll release energetic blockages and build the confidence to speak and live your truth. Accompanied by the soulful live music of Liat — weaving guitar, singing bowls, and evocative vocals — the practice becomes a moving meditation in resonance and community.

You’ll be invited to sing, hum, or simply feel the vibration of shared sound. As voices blend, something powerful happens: we remember we belong to one another. This is a practice of expression as seva — offering your authentic voice as a gift to the collective.

Come to move, breathe, and sing. Leave feeling open, connected, and courageously expressed.
