Weekly classes
Everyone develops aerial skills at different rate depending on their baseline strength and body awareness. Once your core skills are strong, there is the option to progress to our improver classes. This might be after a few classes, a term, or a year or more. But there’s no pressure to progress - the emphasis is on having fun!

Monthly aerial yoga sessions
Aerial yoga uses a loop of aerial silk (a yoga hammock) to refine traditional yoga postures and explore new ones through a fluid, breath-connected movement series. The hammock is set between knee and hip height, supporting transitions from grounded poses to flying, inverted, and floating postures.
Aerial yoga is an inclusive practice suitable for all levels, with modifications provided to support your body's unique needs. No prior yoga or aerial experience is required.
Key benefits include:
Deeper, passive stretching with reduced joint strain
Increased core and upper body strength
Improved alignment and spinal decompression
Myofascial release through soft fabric compression
Enhanced confidence, relaxation, and body awareness
Please note that certain medical conditions may be contraindicative for aerial yoga, particularly regarding inversions and fabric pressure. Please contact admin@smallworld.org.uk for more information.
