This class is taught by:

Maureen Feng

AERIAL YOGA INSTRUCTOR
 
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.

Becka Cancelosi

AERIAL YOGA INSTRUCTOR
 
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!

Aerial Yoga uses a soft fabric hammock to allow the student to get deeper into traditional yoga poses or assist with poses, such as inversions, that otherwise may take years to accomplish. The body is fully or partially supported to assist or gain strength in stabilizing muscles that normally would not be challenged as much. The core is deeply challenged allow the body to move in space. Deep tissue massage is one of the many benefits of the hanging poses in areas of the body that hold onto tension, such as hips & shoulders. Benefits of inversions in a pose like sacrum wrap, include traction & decompression of the spine & increased circulation to the brain.
 
Students will learn to work with and feel gravity to discover a natural release, realign the body, and center the mind.
