Your First Aerial Yoga Class: What to Expect

Starting aerial yoga for the first time can feel exciting and a little intimidating — but you don’t need flexibility, strength, or previous experience to begin.

Most beginner classes start with a light warm-up followed by simple guided movements using the silk. Your instructor will teach you basic poses, safe grips, and beginner-friendly transitions at a comfortable pace. Some classes may also include gentle supported inversions, but everything is optional and beginner-focused.

What to Wear

• Fitted activewear

• Leggings and a comfortable top

• Clothing that covers the backs of your knees

Avoid jewelry, zippers, and loose clothing to protect the silk and move comfortably.

What to Expect

• Small supportive classes

• Step-by-step guidance

• A calm, welcoming environment

• Movement that feels challenging but fun

Most students leave their first class feeling lighter, more confident, and excited to come back. The hardest part is simply showing up — after that, the silk supports you every step of the way.
