Back-to-Aerial School - Let's Fly Into Fall!🍂
Back-to-Aerial-School season is here! Yes, the end of summer can bring a twinge of sadness, but I love to embrace September as “The Real New Year.” Why? Because as the long, busy days fade into cooler evenings, our schedules naturally slow—creating space to focus on goals, growth, and self-improvement. You don’t have to wait until January for a fresh start.

Back-to-Studio Season: Prepping for Fall Aerial Classes
At Elevated Aerial, we know how important it is to maintain a balance between training and play. It’s totally okay to take a lighter fitness or training schedule during the summer — after all, rest and fun are essential, too. But don’t hit pause completely. Staying connected, even in small ways, will make it so much easier to return strong and confident when fall classes roll around.

Alanna Glennon's Comeback; a Testament to the Healing Potential of Movement
Alanna has been training in aerial acrobatics with me for over a decade, though her journey took a pause when she sustained serious injuries. Her path has been anything but linear, but it is a powerful testament to the deep healing potential of movement, community, and creative expression. I’m honored to share her story—not just as a fellow aerialist, but as a witness to the incredible strength of the human spirit.

Nervous About Starting Aerial Fitness? Start Here.
Today, even after teaching for an entire decade, I still never have had a student new to aerial fitness without them saying they are nervous and that they don’t think they will be strong enough.
Let me assure you:
1) Everyone is nervous to start.
2) You are strong enough, and I will help you get even stronger. 💪✨

Happy May Day!
I can hardly find the words to describe the joy and excitement overflowing in my heart right now. The past two weeks have been a whirlwind of anticipation as we prepare to open tomorrow the Elevated Aerial Studio (431 1st Avenue East, inside the newly relocated Level Up Health & Fitness). If you've been following my journey, you might have seen glimpses of the regret I carried after selling my first aerial studio when things didn’t unfold as I had hoped with the new owner. I
