Led by Claire of Tone & Poise this class uses a loop of silk fabric suspended in the air. 

The class combines pilates fundamentals with dance-inspired stretching exercises to support and enhance movement. The sling assists in deepening stretches, improving flexibility, and building strength with greater ease and control.

What to expect:

Expect stretching and gentle conditioning using a soft fabric sling suspended from the ceiling. The class is designed to help you move more freely, release tension, and improve flexibility in a low-impact, supportive environment.

No aerial or fitness experience is needed - options are offered for all levels.

Aerial sling stretch is a loop of silk fabric suspended in the air. Using Pilates fundamentals and dance stretching exercises this class uses the sling to assist and extend the exercises with support. Classes are aimed at beginner/mixed level with options given to fit your preference and experience. We will focus on using conditioning and strengthening exercises, building up confidence and increasing ability. Each session will include the option to invert, this is a great way to decompress the spine. We will also have a rest period within the cocoon  to end the class.

Benefits:

This course will improve posture, core strength and flexibility.
