Beginner aerial
Tuesday,
Thursday,
Sunday.
The main class, and the one to start with even if you’ve done mat yoga for years. Aerial asks your body a different question.
Ninety minutes, structured the same way each time so you always know where you are: a warm-up on the mat, conditioning through the hammock, then the flow — supported stretches, a few inversions once you’re ready for them, and shapes that look far harder than they feel.
The last stretch of every class is spent in the hammock with the lights down. No phones, no mirrors, nothing to get right.
- Suitable for complete beginners — genuinely
- Nobody is pushed to invert before they want to
- Modifications for stiff shoulders, sore wrists and old injuries
Kiddies aerial · ages 6–12
Saturday
mornings.
Ten thirty to twelve, for children who would climb the curtains at home given half a chance.
Children take to the hammock faster than adults do, because it doesn’t occur to them that it might not hold. The class is built around that: climbing, hanging, spinning, balancing, and a lot of learning to fall safely.
Underneath the fun it’s real work — grip strength, core control, spatial awareness and the particular kind of confidence that comes from managing your own body in the air.
- Small group, closely supervised
- Leggings and a long-sleeved top, hair tied back, no jewellery
- Parents are welcome to stay and watch
Bungee fitness
Same rig,
faster heart rate.
Harnessed to a bungee cord anchored overhead, so you can run, jump and bound with a fraction of the impact your knees would normally take.
It is loud, sweaty, cardio-heavy and completely unlike the aerial yoga classes — the bungee gives back everything you put into it, so you end up moving in ways your body simply can’t manage on the ground.
Bungee sessions run in small groups and the times change with demand. Message May to find out when the next one is and whether there’s space.
Pricing
R150Per class · 90 minutes
One flat price for every class on the timetable, adults and kiddies alike. Hammock, mat and equipment are all included — there is nothing to buy before you start.
Payment confirms your space. If you plan to come every week, have a chat with May.
Before you come
What to wear,
what to bring.
The short version: cover the backs of your knees and your armpits, and take everything off your fingers.
Wear
- Leggings or track pants — the fabric grips bare skin behind the knees and it stings
- A fitted top with sleeves, long enough to stay put when you go upside down
- Bare feet or grip socks. No shoes on the mats
- Hair tied back and off your neck
Leave at home
- Rings, watches, bracelets and long earrings — they snag and tear the silk
- Zips, buckles, buttons and anything with a rough seam
- Body lotion or oil on your arms and legs on class day
- A full stomach — eat lightly about two hours before
Questions
Things people ask
before their first class.
Do I need to be fit or flexible first?
No. Flexibility is a result of doing this, not a requirement for starting. The hammock supports a good part of your weight, which is exactly why aerial is often gentler on beginners than a mat class.
Will I have to go upside down?
Only when you decide you want to. Inversions are offered, never insisted on, and there is always a version of the pose that keeps your head above your heart. Plenty of people spend their first few classes upright and enjoy it thoroughly.
How many people are in a class?
Small groups — there are a fixed number of hammocks in the room, so spaces are genuinely limited. That’s why payment is what confirms a booking rather than a message.
I’m pregnant, or I have an injury or a health condition. Can I still come?
Message May before you book and tell her what’s going on. Some inversions aren’t suitable during pregnancy or with certain conditions — high or low blood pressure, glaucoma, recent surgery, shoulder and neck injuries among them. She’ll tell you honestly whether she can adapt the class for you, and if the answer is no it’s worth checking with your doctor first.
Can I bring a friend?
Yes, as long as there’s space. Book both spots at the same time so you’re not standing at the door hoping. Two people is also a nice way to do a first class if you’d rather not arrive alone.
What time should I arrive?
Ten minutes early. It gives you time to sign in, put your things down, set your hammock height with May and settle rather than starting the class already rushing.
Is there an age or weight limit?
Kiddies classes are for ages six to twelve, and the beginner classes are for adults and teenagers. All aerial equipment carries a working load rating — if you’d like to know the specifics for your own peace of mind, ask May and she’ll tell you straight.

upside down with us.
Message May, pay to confirm your space, and wear something that covers the backs of your knees. That’s the whole process.
