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.

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 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.

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. 💪✨

We understand how nerve-wracking it can be to try something new, so we hope this checklist will help ease your nerves & get you into action!

A June recap and looking ahead to July; find out what we are excited about!

Today I take on the age-old riddle: one that nearly every aspiring aerialist asks at the beginning of their journey: “Which apparatus should I start on?” The short answer? You really can’t go wrong . We have well-developed, beginner-friendly curriculum for each  apparatus we offer, so no matter where you start, you’ll be in good hands. If you already feel drawn to one in particular, that’s a great sign. Go with that spark of excitement. That’s your gut pointing you in the rig

The first month for Elevated Aerial Studio was a heartwarming whirlwind, filled with energy, joy, and community. I am excited to highlight a few photos of the month below.

We're thrilled to announce a special photoshoot opportunity during our Open Studio on Friday, May 16th at 6:45 PM. Here's what to expect...

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
