PLEASE NOTE: You can move freely between different warm-ups. You don’t have to do the one you booked, or the same one every day.
Musical Gyrokinesis with Amy Ell
This is a fun, lively warmup for a day of aerials. We will dance/groove to warm our bodies from the spine outward, all to music. Week one is Chapproan-kinesis and week two is Foodgasm-kinesis.
The Gyrokinesis Method is a movement method that addresses the entire body, opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion and creating functional strength through rhythmic, flowing movement sequences.
Dance Warmup
This is not just for dancers, but is a method of moving across the floor as a warmup. It’s about getting your body warm and your mind warm, and nobody cares how it looks. The giant group hugs you see in photos? That’s dance warmup.
Pilates Warmup with Sianna Bruce
A seamless fusion of classical and contemporary Pilates, designed for aerialists. In this class, we’ll explore the rhythm of breath and movement, guiding you into a deeper connection with your body. Each exercise will cultivate core strength, fluid spinal movement and a heightened sense of body awareness. With the help of props, you’ll fine-tune control, enhance elongation and build stability in your practice. Expect a journey that not only strengthens but also harmonizes your body, leaving you more grounded, aligned and open to creative expression in the air.
General Warmup
There will be a general warmup for people that just want to keep it simple.
