FOUNDATIONS
New to Elevate? Our Foundations classes are the perfect way to start your journey with us. We have designed these classes intentionally with YOU in mind. In these classes you will learn the foundations of what the practice looks like in our studio, be introduced to what sequencing and cueing looks like in our space, and learn to build trust with using the aerial fabric. You'll also have a chance to get to know us and feel comfortable navigating our studio culture before signing up for a membership. All students new to our studio are required to attend these prior to attending our other leveled classes so you can have the best experience possible!

LOW FLOW
Low Flow is our unique spin our traditional Flow style of class. The hammock is lowered to about the knee where you may notice some sequencing is more challenge and some is more accessible. It is the perfect balance of yang and yin. After warming up the body, we will explore a new spin on our traditional sequencing, shapes and inversions. We'll balance this challenge to your strength and balance with some deep Yin style stretching weaved in. You'll end in savasana either floating or grounded.
