Family Aerial Hammock (Stockton on Tees)

Activity Description

One of our founding goals in Anvesaka was to make exercise feel fun and accessible for everyone, and our family classes are at the very heart of that goal. Designed for children of primary school age and their parents or guardians to learn the basics of aerial hammock in a safe environment, having fun and getting healthy as a family!

Younger or older siblings are also welcome to attend. The hammock is a great starting point as an introduction to aerial arts as it builds strength and allows practice in a supported way while still offering great versatility in poses and allowing children to achieve brilliant things in a non-competitive setting.

In this group you will learn to work with our aerial hammock for increased flexibility, strength building and impressive final poses. Aerial hammock works using a U shaped soft fabric hammock closer to the ground than the other more circus styles of aerial, and offers a balanced class suitable for most abilities. Our family classes work with the hammock in a way more akin to Aerial Fusion classes than Aerial Yoga focussed on stand alone poses in a fun, informal way.

Aerial is great for children who love to climb, be upside down, who are playful in their movement, or as a complimentary practice to gymnasts or dancers looking to explore new ways of moving. Our aerial arts classes have a 21 stone/133kg weight limit.
