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.
