While aerial yoga definitely requires some flexibility and upper body strength, it wasn't too difficult to enjoy as a beginner. Amy was my instructor, and she was absolutely wonderful and encouraging. She explained each move clearly and made sure we all understood how important it is to listen to our bodies and not push too hard. The experience was both fun and inspiring. There are so many cool tricks and techniques to explore, and now I'm motivated to keep improving. I'll definitely be back and next time, I'm bringing friends!

The studio was a little hard to find since it's so new but it's a strip mall BEHIND the sub stop. It's easy to miss but they have a sign out. We learned so much in our first class and the teacher was super fun and engaging and really encouraged us. I also loved how clean the studio was. A few tips. I didn't research this properly before the class but wear tight fitting clothes. Cover your arms and legs because fabric burn is a thing. Remove jewelry, smart watches and so forth. Socks make it harder, but since the gym is so clean it's fine! I will definitely be back!

While their ceilings are not super high, aerialists are able to train a number of tricks and apparatus. Rigging felt safe, and I love the reception that I received as a visitor from the online exchange to my in-person arrival. I trained at an open gym, and I attended a Lyra II class that was taught by a sub. I appreciated that the class focused on drilling difficult tricks, and when I asked the teacher for a progression, she offered me one that was accessible to where I am training. Everyone in the class was so welcoming, and I enjoyed my visit immensely.

They have pole classes and Lyra and fabric - super fun! They may have more, but those are the ones I've seen and considered. Since I'm relatively new to aerial arts, I've only taken a few classes here for Lyra and fabrics, but I have loved the classes. The class size is 6 or fewer, so your instructor has plenty of time to help you if you're lost, confused or, you know, stuck in the air. The instructors are talented individuals who take the time to model the skills and are adept at figuring out how to help you see the skills from different perspectives. They change cues and point out different muscles, movements and positions to cater to the student. There are mirrors in the front of the aerial studio, so, you can see what you're doing. It is helpful, but it can be a little daunting. I've never had a problem finding parking here. The cost is affordable as far as aerials arts classes are priced. There are options for class packages if you are interested in going regularly. Have fun, it's a blast!

Love this wonderful establishment for the joy, community, fitness, challenges, artistry,…read moreaccessibility and flexibility! While it may be a little strange to get to the location from the strange turn off Carlin Springs Road, then winding your way towards the back in between a church and some other fitness establishment, it is there, so go! They have recently changed the outside decor to have a welcoming, vibrant blue along the wall, so it is easier to find. What can one do here if you've never thought about any of the things they do here? That's up to you. I can only comment on what I've tried out, so far! The studio has plenty of evening classes during the week and a bunch on the weekends during the day and afternoon. Classes vary from stretching and flexibility to conditioning, including focusing on splits, backbends and handstands. They also of course focus on skills like dance trapeze, aerial trapeze, Lyra, silks, handstands, and rope. I'm sure there are more, but I can't remember. I like that the classes complement each other - so maybe go to a stretching/ flexibility class like splits and then go to a Lyra or aerial trapeze class. The classes have different levels, but you first would need to start at an introduction to ... class. There are 2 basic intro. classes - the introduction to hard apparatus (aerial trapeze and Lyra) and the introduction to soft apparatus (silks). They are 2 very different classes, but I guarantee you will feel all the physical demands of fitness by completing one of these classes. Once you complete one of those, you are free to sign up for level 1 classes of those respective apparatuses. Wondering how much stretching you should do before a class? Don't wonder, every class instructor builds in stretching to the class. So, if the class is 1 hour and 30 minutes, at least 10 minutes will help your body get ready for the class, and at least 5 minutes at the end to stretch out as well. For every class I've attended, the instructors are patient, knowledgeable, talented and creative. That means, for someone like me, who is challenged in knowing how to move body parts when I'm hanging upside down or what's forward vs backwards left vs right, they are super helpful to guide you. They are all also very respectful and will interact with you with your pronouns and your level of comfort in how you like to receive instruction. I am super impressed with how the instructors can reevaluate your abilities and needs and help you figure out how to do the things. It looks easy for the instructors/ coaches, but... it's definitely not easy for me, and they never hesitate to help and encourage me. I first started here because I was interested in aerial trapeze, but then I took a few Lyra classes and some silks. Then there were handstand classes, too. I am still most interested in aerial trapeze, but there is only 1 of those level 1 classes a week, and it books up! They do have open studio times for your practicing needs, so that's awesome. I love the silks classes, and there are more of the level 1 classes - they go up to level 3, wow! Handstands are currently once a week, but I've never seen all of the spots taken. It's a great class though! The parking is super easy, and it's free, so that's awesome. However, sometimes, it gets really busy - especially the weekends, but you can generally still find a spot. Try this out if you have any interest in aerial arts. You will love it and be challenged and will go back! See you at Monarca!

I really enjoyed my experience at the studio...until I wasn't able to sign up for my second class…read more I purchased two intro class from Groupon and was able to sign up for an intro to soft apparatus class with no problem. The instructor, Kat, was knowledgeable, engaging, welcoming and patient with everyone in the class! We started class with a 20-minute warm-up and then started with basic moves on the silks. We definitely enjoyed the class with Kat, but wanted to try the intro to hard apparatus class which includes working with the lyra and trapeze. Unfortunately, the studio has a 60 day policy to take your second class after taking your first class. This was not made clear to my two friends and I. We asked specifically after our first class if there was a time restriction to take our next class and was told there was no expiration for our second class. However, this was not the same message I received from the staff when I tried to email them to sign up for the second class. This policy is not listed on their website nor on the Groupon, making it very disappointing because we were excited to take another class. I would have highly recommended this studio if this problem was resolved, but the lack of customer service and ability to be flexible with their customers was disheartening.

Adore adore adore! Lake Anna Wellness Studio is now my absolute favorite yoga studio…read more When my mom told me there was a good yoga studio on the lake, I was initially skeptical. I have done yoga in many locations, and currently live in Hawaii, where yoga has a fantastic presence. However, I wanted to give it a shot, so off I went. Upon entering the studio, I felt instantly calm. I was greeted by two lovely ladies, one who was the owner of the shop, Beth, and the other who turned out to be one of the instructors, June. I was coming to try the "Restorative Yoga" class. I used to practice yoga regularly, but since having my kiddo, yoga has been far in between for me. I was a little worried about how rusty I'd be, but I should not have worried--the instructor caters every movement to your yoga practice level, comfort level, and your needs. Before class we were offered a restorative drink, as well as some chocolate and fruit. It felt so luxurious--I felt pampered, honestly. (That's an added bonus for the evening restorative yoga classes, and makes me want to come every night they have it!) The class began. They'd set out all the items we would need, so it was a simple transition, just picking a spot. The instructor, June, walked us through everything, often explaining the thought process behind what we were doing. She also walked around and helped you get the correct posture or pose, gently. (The instructor even noticed I was having trouble with a certain position, and helped me find a way to strengthen my body after class!) I'm not going to go through every pose we did, or every part of the session, but I will leave you with this: It was good for mind, body, and soul. It was challenging, but fun. It was perfect for beginners, mid level folks, and yoga expert aficionados. Everyone there was at a different place in their practice, and we all enjoyed it immensely. I highly recommend Lake Anna Wellness Studio, and can't wait to return! If you're considering it, you need to go! They also offer Pilates, Aerial Yoga, and All Levels Yoga classes! I am going to try them all!
