These sessions focus on combining mindfulness with aerial for improving physical and mental wellbeing.
In these session you will learn:
-
The foundations of mindfulness meditation including the breathing meditation and body scan.
-
How to warm-up, stretch, strengthen and care for your body by using elements of yoga, dance, Pilates, coordination exercises and callisthenics.

How to safely get onto aerial equipment, gain in confidence in the air, learn moves and sequences and explore how mindfulness can enhance this aerial journey.
Please note: this is not your 'usual' aerial circus class.
Rather than focusing on progress and performance, the focus is on physical and mental well-being; using aerial circus as a tool to explore the Self, through mindfulness, movement exploration and play.
New students are offered a 3 week taster to try out the class and see if it suits them.
