I first fell in love with yoga in 2012 on my journey to health and fitness. I found that yoga allows us to strengthen both body and mind and it gave me a place to unwind from the day’s stress. A few years later, I discovered aerial yoga and I’ve been hooked ever since. Aerial yoga provides support for poses that are more difficult on a mat and often allows for a deeper stretch. It’s also exciting to try new things and hang upside down. As an elementary school teacher, I felt called to also teach aerial once I fell in love with it. I try to bring positivity, encouragement, and fun to my classes. Come hang out with me and discover how much fun aerial yoga can be!
Maureen started taking aerial yoga at Purenergy in 2019 and immediately fell in love with the mix of relaxing yoga poses and exciting tricks! She became certified to teach adult and children classes in 2023 and loves seeing others challenge themselves (mentally and physically) with new ways to move their bodies.
Her classes are a mix of traditional yoga poses with support from the silks and silly tricks and drops that make class feel more like playtime!
Elizabeth took her first aerial class in 2016 and was been hanging upside down since. Elizabeth was first drawn to aerial because it was a weird and wonderful way to work out while letting go of stress. Aerial yoga brings a mind body connection while challenging you to trust your mind, body, and fabric.
In the corporate world, Elizabeth is a social worker in the mental health field.
Family Aerial Yoga is a great way for kids, adults, or both to enjoy a fun activity. A class for students of all abilities, you will enjoy stretching, flipping, and spinning while being supported by the aerial hammock.
As an adult, the inversions and poses feel great and give a nice stretch. As a kid, flipping upside down is lots of fun and the hammock provides support to do this safely. Your child will learn how to flip, balance, and spin with control over their body. Many poses allow for choice whether you want to spin and invert, or not, so it’s great for all levels and abilities. While it is not required for you to join your child in class, this family class would allow you and your child to practice and play together!
