I remember as a child being so eager to learn, grow, fly… It was as if nothing would hold me back, and I did not care who thought what. A few months ago, I began to grow tired of my own thoughts piercing through my wings, hindering my flight. I was...

I started out by attending a class with a friend. While I have always admired aerial arts, I thought it would be something unattainable to me. From the moment I walked in, I felt so comfortable and welcomed. The classes are perfectly paced, and I am so proud of my...
