Experience aerial yoga with guest teacher Haley Wall

Haley is a passionate yoga instructor and studio owner dedicated to bringing accessible, innovative movement to her teachings. With a unique blend of expertise in creative sequencing, aerial yoga, and functional movement, Haley invites students to explore new dimensions of their practice both on and off the mat. In addition to her foundations of traditional yoga styles, Haley is a certified aerial yoga instructor, bringing the element of flight into her teachings. Through the use of aerial hammocks, she invites students to experience yoga from a new perspective, exploring inversions, suspensions, and playful transitions that build strength, flexibility, and trust. With a focus on anatomical alignment and mindful movement, she empowers students to move with intention, awareness, and grace.

Aerial Yin and Meditation

Experience the blissful union of aerial movement and deep relaxation in our Aerial Yin Yoga class. Suspended in soft fabric hammocks, you’ll explore the gentle yet profound practice of Yin Yoga with the added support and elevation provided by aerial silks. This unique combination allows for deeper stretches, enhanced relaxation, and a sense of weightlessness as you surrender into each pose. Delve into long-held, passive stretches that target the body’s deep connective tissues, releasing tension and promoting flexibility. The aerial aspect adds an element of playfulness and freedom, inviting you to explore new dimensions of movement and sensation. Guided by the soothing rhythm of your breath, you’ll cultivate mindfulness and inner peace as you float through this rejuvenating practice. Suitable for all levels, including beginners, Aerial Yin Yoga offers a serene sanctuary to unwind, restore, and elevate your well-being.

Energizing Aerial Flow

Arrive to a new and challenging form of movement, where you’ll experience the fusion of traditional yoga poses with the excitement and freedom of aerial arts. Suspended from soft fabric hammocks, you’ll flow through sequences that enhance flexibility, build strength, and challenge the nature of ones relationship to gravity. With the support of the hammock, you’ll explore inversions, backbends, and deep stretches in a safe and playful environment. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or new to the practice, Haley will guide you through a transformative journey that nurtures body, mind, and spirit. Join us as we elevate your yoga practice (literally and figuratively) to new heights and explore new dimensions of movement and mindfulness.
