What You Need to Know Before You Fly

Aerials are a beautiful blend of grounded breath and gravity-defying joy. To keep your experience safe, supportive, and fabulous, please review the following guidelines before joining class:

✅ What to Wear & How to Prepare

  • Shirts with sleeves are required (no tank tops)—this protects your skin and the silks.

  • No jewelry of any kind (rings, earrings, necklaces, watches, fitness trackers). It can snag or tear the silks.

  • Compression shorts or fitted pants are recommended for all participants to prevent fabric ride-up and improve comfort.

  • Supportive bras are a must for women—especially during inversions.

  • No zippers, buttons, or snaps on clothing that could damage the fabric.

  • Hair must be tied back without metal or plastic clips. Soft cloth ties only, please.

  • No deodorant, perfume, or cologne—these stain the silks and can cause allergic reactions in others.

  • Please arrive a few minutes early so we can help you get set up safely in the silks.

❌ Who Should Not Participate (Contraindications)

Aerials are not appropriate for individuals with the following conditions unless cleared by a medical provider:

  • Pregnancy (due to pressure, inversion, and fabric compression)

  • Glaucoma or recent eye surgery

  • Severely low or high blood pressure

  • Recent surgery or acute injury (neck, shoulder, spine, or hips)
