AERIALS

Yoga Suspenso®

As the name suggests, Yoga Suspenso is a practice where lifting has another meaning. The postures are developed using a fabric  suspended from both ends (in the form of a swing). With clear benefits for the body and mind, this modality integrates 4 distinct pillars:

Hatha Yoga: Execution of the characteristic positions of the Hatha Yoga practice, with the support of the fabric, allowing for greater safety and the intensification of each position according to the practitioner’s capacity. Physical Conditioning: Development of muscular strength, flexibility, balance and proprioception.

Aerial Acrobatics: Integrates the capacities developed in the previous pillars, adding the mental and physical challenge of aerial acrobatics.

Restorative: The use of the fabric in a therapeutic way, promoting general well-being and the interiorization of consciousness. Suspended Yoga was developed by Rui Oliveira Costa. As it is a constant challenge to our capacity to overcome, it is divided into different technical levels.

Level 1: You learn to interact with the fabric safely and develop confidence in the practice of inverted suspension. Anyone can start this practice and will progressively feel results in muscle strengthening, joint decompression, stretching, relaxation and concentration. Level 2: If you already know how to do inverts in suspension and feel comfortable with techniques performed on top of the tissue, you will be challenged to perform more dynamic techniques and work on staying in the positions. You can now learn to master the passages between positions as well as the entrances and exits of the equipment.

Please note: We advise all students to consult with the School to determine the most suitable technical level for them.

Maximum number of students: 11 (1 per equipment).

Lyra

This is an open level class, suitable for both beginners and more experienced lyra students.
The Lyra’s special feature is to provide rotation in the air on its support axis and to exercise continuous circular movements.

Participants will have the opportunity to become familiar with the apparatus, explore basic aerial acrobatics techniques, experiment with the rotation dynamics that the apparatus offers, create small choreographic sequences and work on the improvisation of aerial movement.

Maximum number of students: 10.

Rope

Rope is a sport which uses a rope suspended vertically where movements demonstrating agility, flexibility and strength are performed. that characterizes it most, are the dynamic movements.
The dynamic technique on the rope is based on movements such as swings, pirouettes, transitions and rotations in the air.
In this type of class the student will learn the correct body posture for balancing, hanging and other movements of a dynamic nature, as well as learning how to perform figures, falls and descents specific to flat rope.

Classes are open to all levels.

Maximum number of students: 7.

STATIC TRAPEZE

Get ready to fly. Using a horizontal bar suspended by two ropes, you will learn to do poses, acrobatics and movements above and below the bar and also on the ropes. The classes are open level, meaning that you can participate whatever your condition. And, as your technique improves, you can always think of higher flights.

In terms of evolution, start by building the base of Trapeze practice. You learn how to do bar climbs, belly and back balances, static figures and small sequences. Once you are able to move comfortably on the equipment and remain seated, in balance and in positions above and below the bar, you will progress with exercises of greater difficulty, more complex sequences with static and dynamic figures (techniques with beats) and thus build the foundations for spins and simple falls.

Maximum number of students: 12 (3 per trapeze).

AERIAL SLING

This is an aerial acrobatics modality in which you use a fabric suspended by its extremities. In this discipline of acrobatic performance, it’s in the air that it all happens!  You can perform impressive acrobatic positions and beautiful dance moves. It is therefore considered a good way of entering the world of aerial acrobatics.
With Aerial Sling you will gain flexibility, endurance and the mastery of your body in space. As you practice, your body will become better prepared so that you can express yourself as a true flying dancer.

Maximum number of students: 7.

Aerial Silks

This is a type of aerial acrobatics in which you use a fabric (Vertical Fabrics) suspended in the middle and with two loose ends, which allows you to go up and down, assume positions and fall and be in permanent evolution. And it’s not just the technical part, because your body will progressively gain strong elegant lines. Aerial Silks is organized into different levels:

Level 1: You start by building the technical basics. You learn how to do basic climbs, foot and waist keys, then progress to various static positions, inversions and simple rolls.

Level 2: Once you have mastered the principles of the sport, you will perform exercises with greater difficulty and complexity, learn sequences with static figures as well as the first bases for more complex rolls and simple falls.

Level 3: Now that you’re comfortable and confident on the equipment and have mastered doing inverts from the air with legs extended, the waist key with legs extended and the basic simple falls and releases. Now it’s time to perfect the transitions between positions, the compound falls and the choreographic work. Here you must have the physical capacity for sequences of 3 to 4 minutes.

Attention: for levels 2 and 3, we advise all students to consult the school to find out which is the most suitable.

Maximum number of students: 12 (2 per vertical fabric).
