FREE Open Day Adult Aerial Yoga (16+)

Service Description

Do you want to build strength, flexibility and have fun in a calm and relaxing environment? Then join us as we turn the lights down, add some fairy lights and enter the world of aerial yoga. In this class we go through a series of gentle exercises to build strength, stamina and flexibility using aerial hammocks (also known as aerial sling) for support and deeper stretches. We always end these sessions with some relaxation gently cocooned inside the sling. Absolutely NO EXPERIENCE is needed and at Penny Farthing Circus Arts all types of bodies, genders and abilities are welcome. We will make accommodations wherever possible but please note there are 4 steps to the front door. This is a free session as part of our Open Day on January 3rd, celebrating 12 months of business at our newest studio in Wimbish, just outside Saffron Walden. The session is aimed at those children who are unsure what aerial sling might be like or who have parents who aren't ready to commit to a block booking yet without checking their child actually enjoys aerial first! We run various aerial classes for children of different ages that are usually bookable by the half term, so this is a unique opportunity to have a free trial class. The current schedule for classes are as follows; Monday - 4.30pm age 7-12 Tuesday - 6.30pm Aerial Hoop Beginners 7.30pm Aerial Hoop Intermediates Wednesday - 5.30pm age 11-17 7pm - Aerial Yoga Thursday - 4.30pm age 4-8 5.30pm age 8-12 (We are hoping to add a sling class for children, a circus fit class and a new mixed ability adult hoop class to the timetable in 2026, once we know there is enough interest) We hope that by attending one of our free trials you will want to join our regular classes, but by coming to the open day, there is no commitment to book, we just want to show off what we have built in the last year! Please come in clothes suitable for aerial exercise (something like a t-shirt, jumper and leggings or joggers are ideal) and bring a drink! For this class we ask that you avoid velcro, zips and anything that can catch on the fabrics. We advise that you have armpits and back of knees covered for this workshop to protect sensitive skin. All of our Open Day Taster Sessions last 45 minutes and we have lots for both adults and children, so please feel free to try multiple classes.
