Our sound-bath meditation was on point from the individual who speaks through the process and the breathing techniques during. I don't even know if I fell asleep or not lol. i was that relaxed. I was that comfortable and appreciated the me time and peaceful sounds. At one point you do hear the crashing sounds of a gong or horn (sorry first time and don't know the terminology) that were a little too loud that is what startled me and I was not able to go back into the concentration. Only downfall was they forgot to give me my blanket to cover up with so I was freezing the entire time. It's not a place you can raise your hand or yell out. I appreciate they do provide lockers, that you can personalize during your visit, with included phone chargers, clean bathrooms and a selection of warm teas.

I arrived at 1pm and there were several other folks there for the event. After signing in at the desk, the staff walked me over to the locker and showed me where to keep my things. After everyone arrived, one of the ladies gave us an intro to meditation and then we watched a 7 min video about the science behind mindfulness and meditation. The video needs to be updated as there was a lack of diversity (e.g, age, race, etc.) and that turned me off slightly. After the video, we were walked into the room, asked to grab a blanket and got into the hammock for the 45 minute sound bath and meditation. I serve on a board for an organization that's focused on mindfulness but this was my first time participating in a full on practice. It was very calming and allowed me to really get centered. The time went by fast and our instructor set the right pace. They offer a free session for first timers so I will be taking advantage of that. The studio is very clean, and they offered tea and other refreshments. But most importantly, there's plenty of parking.

I go here for aerial yoga and it's so much fun. There are three locations in montrose, river oaks,…read moreand the heights. I go to the montrose location. It's a Cute & small studio located on the second floor. They do validate parking in garage and valet. If you valet, it's only about 90 minutes, whereas if you park in the garage, it's unlimited time. The parking garage is very spacious and well lit with an elevator. Christina & Nhi are great instructors and made me feel comfortable the entire time. You are not expected to do anything you can't do. The class is to relax and for your body a good stretch. It's very chill and vibey there. I recommend trying the out through classpass or about $38 per class. They also offer memberships.

I was first introduced to Cai Circus by my husband. We have been poling together for years prior,…read moreand he was yearning for a new apparatus to learn. I attended my first class in October 2022 which was a silks conditioning class taught by Chelsea Lu. Although I didn't learn much silk technique, the conditioning class was a great workout! I've also attended a few lyra and trapeze classes taught by Nikki and Caiya, respectively. In addition, I have attended an open studio session to try out flying pole. I would say that trapeze has been my favorite apparatus so far! Overall, I really like the community here, and the aerialists are much friendlier and welcoming than previous studios I've been to. I also really appreciate the owner, Caiya. She has always made her studio a safe space for my husband and I to learn new skills and have fun without any judgement! Another thing I really like about this studio is that they even offer children's circus classes, so there is something for everyone at any age or gender. The location is a bit hard to find at first, but there are directions on the website. Since the studio is only 5 minutes away from us, we tend to frequent this studio. I am looking forward to putting my future children in circus classes as well!

Cai Circus is a circus training facility and performance arts company by owner and founder, Caiya…read moreVelasco. Caiya has trained in classical ballet since the age of 3 and began her circus training at the age of 16 with an emphasis on contortion. She started Cai Circus to help build the circus and performance community in Houston, TX. It's located inside "Future Stars of Houston," a creative space for children to learn music, dance, instruments, circus arts, and other artistic skillsets. Cai Circus collaborates with Future Stars of Houston for their circus arts portion for children. However, Cai Circus also offers adult classes in a variety of circus arts such as aerial silks, trapeze, hammock, lyra, rope, contortion, straps, and more. Getting to this location can be a bit difficult as it's somewhat hidden. You can find it on Google Maps, but it requires driving through a giant lot beside random warehouses and going under two overpasses (Shepherd Drive and Durham Drive). There is a private parking lot with plenty of spaces, so you will always have a free place to park. I started training at Cai Circus in August 2022 solely to improve my flexibility and mobility. I have a background in yoga and calisthenics, and I was wanting to push my body to further levels. After observing the weird aerial apparatuses hanging from the ceiling, I was curious and drawn to explore them all. Here is a list of my favorite classes that Cai Circus currently offers below: Aerial Silks - Chelsea / Taylar / Toni / Angela / Eddie Lyra - Nicole Trapeze - Caiya Straps - Emma / Mauricio Rope - Emma Mobility & Flexibility - Caiya Open Studio - Various Instructors *They also offer random workshops Overall, Cai Circus is an amazing training facility to learn circus arts. Although I only came to stretch, I ended up learning so much more about fitness than I could have ever imagined. I have no desire to perform, but I am very happy that I came across this training facility. Each instructors has different skillsets, and you can learn from them all. I would highly recommend checking out Cai Circus!

I keep taking him on Friday nights which is "open gym" and I hope to get him enrolled in classes pretty soon. They offer a variety of classes for different ages and skill levels. I really liked the art all around the gym (superhero themed) but what I fell in love with was the atmosphere at the gym. The staff is there to answer any questions you might have ( I had a million) and is very patient and accommodating. The coaches are full of energy and they like to joke around with the kids. They play a lot of game that sure get my brother tired and ready for bed. I'm extremely glad I found a gym where I can trust to leave my little brother and where he really looks forward to going every week.

Just over a year ago, I visited Las Vegas with some friends, and saw an incredible show called La…read moreReve (The Dream). I turned to them and said, "Guys, this is my new hobby," to which they responded, "Yeah, right, John, sure." Well, I showed them. That weekend, upon returning home to Houston, I noticed a friend had invited me to a circus show she was in at Discovery Green. I didn't really know what I was looking at at the time, but it was cool enough that I asked her how I could join. A year later, I'm totally hooked. I take classes at three different studios these days. I like each of them for different reasons, but Cirque La Vie is my favorite. For one thing, CLV is -- to my knowledge -- the only circus troupe in Houston which also offers classes (or, on the flip-side, the only place offering classes which is also a circus troupe). As a result, it feels the most like a family. CLV's also got the most range of skills. While other studios in Houston only deal with aerial arts, CLV has jugglers, acrobats, stilt-walkers, contortionists, flow artists, and so on. There's even an apparatus for practicing tightrope, and talk of getting a trampoline. The biggest downside to CLV is probably the current lack of options for higher-level aerialists to take classes -- most likely a consequence of the limited space with which they struggled until their recent move. At the time of this writing, CLV only has level-one classes for aerials; but its teachers do offer private lessons, and they're worth it.
