Aerial Conditioning

Aaron Schallock

Saturday, 3pm @ The Aviary

Accessible to all-levels, this workshop will cover the basics to safe and effective strength and flexibility training.

Training properly is more important than learning the actual drops, tricks, and poses. In this workshop, you will learn to warm-up correctly before stretching and training/performing. Plus you can take with you a solid stretching guide to improve flexibility with the proper form. The practices presented will be great routines to incorporate in ground and air training, appropriate whether it’s performance day or you’re just trying to polish inversions and extend beautiful engaged lines.
