Frequently asked Questions

We have classes for all levels from absolute beginner to seasoned practitioner! As a general rule, we ask that you start in one of our Foundations classes. Please check the class descriptions as some Foundations classes have pre-requisites! All prerequisites can be found on the classes page. We do recommend you consult your physician if you have concerns about starting a new style of training. We offer classes that range from moderate to high intensity and we encourage each student to use accurate self-assessment in determining if a class is right for them.

If you are participating in any aerials class we recommend pants that cover the knees, sometimes long sleeve shirts, and please have your hair tied up for safety reasons. Clothing with zippers or any other metal are not allowed on the equipment. Please remove all jewelry including rings, necklaces, bracelets, large earrings, etc. Minimal facial piercings, well covered naval piercings and small studded earrings are allowed For most activities we recommend that no socks be worn due to safety concerns. There are certain skills your instructor may give the option to use socks for. No shoes are required - you will need to leave your shoes and bags in the cubbies at the front of the studio. Please bring a water bottle with you – we have a sink where you can refill it. We do not have a dedicated space for you to get changed so it's better for you to come dressed ready for class. There is a bathroom in the building that is shared with the other building occupants.

We are located in unit 3 - 625 Hillside Ave in Rock Bay. We recommend you locate us through Google and leave a few minutes early the first time you come to the studio.

Yes, some classes do have prerequisites and some do not. We ask students to familiarise themselves with and respect the prerequisites listed to maintain class equilibrium and safety. Have a look at the classes page to see the prerequisites for each class. Not sure what we're talking about...? A prerequisite is a skill/move/level of bodily awareness that we require students to have to be able to register for certain classes. This is for safety and enjoyment of everyone. The coach will assume you meet the prerequisites and therefore it could be unsafe if you do not. If you attend a class and the coach deems that you are in the incorrect level they will let you know. You may only move up a level if preapproved by your current coach.

This can only be done once you have registered an account with us (see above steps) After you have purchased a class pass, membership or new student pass, you are then ready to reserve your spot in a class.
