Wow! It's difficult to know how to begin reviewing Jessica's incredible teaching. From the moment…read moreyou meet her, it's a match made in heaven. She is warm, approachable, vibrant, and friendly. Jessica's class is well catered to the level of the students who find themselves in it. I was nervous before my first class, but she had me fearlessly inverting and leaning into stretches I had no idea my body could love. I have been attending her class located at the S Factor Studio in San Francisco, which is a small and intimate space, ideal for fostering teacher/student trust and relationships. Her knowledge of how different bodies move and react and her acute awareness of the varying needs of different individuals makes Jessica's yoga trapeze class a divine pleasure to take. She has helped me pinpoint the parts of my practice that require extra attention and love and motivated me to work harder and more frequently on my flexibility and posture. 10 out of 10 I HIGHLY recommend anyone looking for a unique yoga experience to try one of Upside Down Jessica's classes. You'll be instantly hooked.

I'm so glad I made that decision, because Addie is awesome!!! She's super nice and really good at teaching! The class I was in had 5 other participants. We first showed proof of vaccination and our ID before filling out the waiver. The lights were dim and the studio itself doesn't have many mirrors. I felt that this promoted confidence because I didn't have to feel self-conscious in the mirror, or worry about how I looked in front of others. Because I'm more cautious, I kept my mask on. I appreciate that there was no pressure to have to take my mask off. Anyway, so we start off with a warmup that focused on flexibility and core strength. Spoiler alert: I lack both, but I did my best! We also learned how to crawl and do some sexy leg work. Then we got to pick a pole and we learned some moves: a spin, how to walk around the pole, and how to uh dance around it? At the end of the class, we learned a routine and had the option of recording ourselves. We even got to try on heels! Uh a little heads up on the heels: your best bet is to size up. I normally wear a 5. The 6 fit me fine, but I might've felt more comfortable wearing a 6.5 or something. I'm really considering taking the 5-6 week series.

I'd also recommend taking classes with Jess the lyra teacher she's pretty amazing and so are her classes. 10/10 I highly recommend.

VRV3 Studios immediately stood out because of their amazing intro package ($79 for 4 classes or $139 for unlimited classes -- both are to be used within 2 weeks), and it ended up being one of the best decisions I've made. I walked into my first pole class with zero experience and a lot of nerves. Nico, the receptionist, was incredibly welcoming and made me feel comfortable right away. He gave me a tour, explained how everything worked, shared helpful tips for my first class, and really helped calm any anxiety I had before stepping into the studio. In just two weeks, I've taken classes with Melanie, Yifan, Freddy, and McKena, and every instructor has been so patient, encouraging, and accommodating. Each class starts with warm-ups and conditioning to help you understand how to engage your muscles safely before learning tricks and poses. Every instructor has their own teaching style, but they all create such a positive and supportive environment. As someone who is naturally shy, I truly appreciate how inclusive and judgment-free this studio is. I always leave class feeling happier, stronger, and more confident than when I walked in. The studio is clean, has changing rooms, a bathroom, yoga mats, water fountains, yoga cubes and cubbies for convenience. If you've been thinking about trying pole but feel intimidated, this is your sign to book a class. I only wish I had started sooner!

She, herself, is a brilliant performer and aerialist with years of experience building her reputation in the aerial community. Despite the challenge of learning aerial silks, sky dancing, flying, or whatever you'd like to call it, I've always felt comfortable and confident with Kat's guidance. I would highly recommend Come Fly With B if you've ever been interested in silks - whether you've seen them on Cirque de Soleil or have no experience whatsoever. Aerial exercise is an incredible all-body workout, mental challenge, and problem-solving adventure that is unlike any other workout I've experienced.

At the other places I've been (not naming names, as I'm sure they're fine at what they specialize in), the instructors will show you how to do a move and then shrug if you can't do it. Here, they'll show adjustments or a previous progression and help you figure out how to do a move with patience and encouragement, and they won't leave you adrift feeling like you can't do something and not know why.
