FAQs

It's usually a good idea to arrive at least 10 to 15 minutes before the start of class. This allows time to set up, settle in and perhaps do some light stretching or relaxation before the session begins. It also provides a buffer in case there are any unexpected delays, like traffic or difficulty parking. (We see you, Miami.)

Classes begin promptly at the time scheduled. Late arrivals are permitted with advance call or text to front desk advising on arrival time. Late arrivals are not permitted with no advance call or message.

Wait list: As classes meet full capacity, booked guests with no advance call or message of late arrival time will receive a 5-minute grace period following class time start. Following the grace period, spots will be made available to wait-listed guests and attendance class will be forfeited from guest account. If guests should arrive anytime following the grace period and space is no longer available, guests can be rebooked with no-show forfeit waiver, pending availablity.

For beginners in aerial hammock or aerial yoga, it's encouraged to start with foundational or beginner-level classes. These classes focus on teaching fundamental techniques, basic poses and safety guidelines. Consider Aerial Basics or Aerial Foundation which both provide a gentle introduction to aerial hammock practice, focusing on building strength, improving flexibility and gaining confidence in the hammock.

Regardless of the class type, it's important to communicate with the instructor about your experience level and any specific concerns or limitations you may have. They will provide personalized guidance and ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable experience as you begin your aerial hammock journey.

Like heated classes, choose form-fitting yet flexible clothing that allows for a full range of motion. Consider wearing leggings with a comfortable, breathable top. Avoid loose or baggy clothing that may get caught in the hammock. Silk burns are real so cover all skin that may come in contact with the hammock to minimize friction and potential burns. We strong encourage leggings and avoiding short. For more advanced classes, we also suggest covering midriff to avoid silk burns.

All hand and wrist jewelry or watches must be removed during practice to prevent personal injury, damage or interference with the silk.

We love a fully-accessorized workout look however, it’s important to remove all jewelry from the hands and wrists prior to aerial practice.

Jewelry can get caught in the fabric, risking potential injury. Additionally, dangling or sharp pieces of jewelry can easily damage the fabric or pose a safety risk during movements. If a piece of jewelry cannot be removed, we offer medical tape to securely cover it. Jewelry is 100% OK to wear to mat-based hot Pilates classes.

Personal photography and/or videos are permitted during class. To document personal progress, members are invited to photograph themselves however must remain mindful and respect the privacy of fellow members should they not wish to be on camera.

There isn't a strict age limit for children to practice aerial hammock, as it largely depends on the child's individual capabilities, maturity level and personal interest. However, it's generally recommended for children to be at least 8 to 10 years before starting aerial practice. At this age, they tend to have better coordination and understanding of instructions, which are important for safely practicing aerial postures. Our qualified aerial instructors will gladly assess a child's readiness and provide appropriate guidance.

Aerial classes are practiced under air conditioning, between 74 and 76 degrees.

Between 92 and 100 degrees.

Infrared heat enhances flexibility, aids in detoxification, increases blood circulation and promotes accelerated muscle recovery. As the body absorbs infrared heat, water molecules within vibrate, allowing them to expel impurities and create a deep, detoxifying cleanse on the cellular level. Additionally, the gentle warmth of infrared soothes joint pain, alleviates muscle aches and induces relaxation, fostering a deeper sense of wellness and well-being.

Prepare to sweat so lightweight, breathable clothing such as moisture-wicking tops and bottoms made from materials like nylon or natural fibers work best. Opt for form-fitting attire that allows for easy movement and wicks away sweat. Avoid heavy fabrics and opt for minimal, comfortable clothing.

There isn't a strict age limit for children to practice hot Pilates, as it largely depends on the child's individual capabilities, maturity level and personal interest. However, it's generally recommended for children to be at least 12 to 13 years before starting a regular Pilates practice. At this age, they tend to have better coordination and understanding of instructions, which are important for safely participating in yoga classes. Younger children can still engage in simple yoga poses and activities with parental supervision and under the guidance of a qualified instructor.
