Now offering lunchtime classes on Thursdays at 12:15.

What our students say:
My first class at CT Aerial Yoga was on the aerial hoop. I am now taking aerial yoga and aerial sling classes too. This is the first time that I have felt passionate about movement and exercise practices that are not about losing weight or associated with having a certain body type. I showed up, tried new things, gained strength, and listened to my body when I needed to rest and refocus. I am so excited to take more classes, to get stronger and learn more! – Amanda C.
Whether you are new to yoga or an experienced yogi, give aerial yoga a try. I left class feeling empowered and exhilarated. I was able to deepen my practice and have fun too. Jayne is a patient, seasoned yoga teacher who makes everyone, at every skill level, feel comfortable. – Mindy P./Newington, CT
Aerial yoga is liberating. Forget about the limits of the mat and delve into the most challenging of inversions with grace and ease. I was amazed at what I could do. It was exciting and safe at the same time. If you love Savasana, you’ll love it even more in the cradled comfort of your own fabric cocoon. – Kristen H./Enfield, CT
First-class FAQ
Do I need to be flexible or strong?
No. Poses are modifiable to all skill levels. You will build flexibility and strength over time!
Will the hammock hold me?
Yes. Our hammocks are professionally rigged and will hold up to 450lbs.
I’m nervous about being upside down.
That’s very common. The hammock hangs low, close to the floor, and every inversion is optional. You’ll never be asked to do anything you’re not ready for.
What should I wear?
Fitted, comfortable clothing with no zippers, buttons, or hooks. Remove all jewelry, keep nails trimmed short, and skip the perfume or lotion. Fabric and sharp edges don’t mix. Please keep your armpits covered.
What happens when I arrive?
Arrive 10 minutes early so your instructor can adjust the hammock to your height. Registration in advance is required.
How old do I need to be?
Adult classes are for ages 16 and up (younger with instructor permission). Youth classes are intended for ages 5-10.
