The studio provides everything you need for props. It's not necessary to bring or buy props in order to make the class. At the end of class, you are able to use the aerial prop as a cocoon to create the most peaceful and soothing experience.

After a long search to find a studio that offers aerial yoga, I was pleased to find Rise and to try…read moreout a class. I was an aerialist for five years, but I have been out of practice (and out of shape!) for the better part of the last three years, following the birth of my youngest. Because I have lost a great deal of strength, finding a studio and instructor who can scaffold instruction is important to me. Rise, and owner/instructor Carrie delivered. The aerial flow class is adaptable to all levels of strength and experience. Carrie breaks down poses and demonstrates to ensure all students understand the mechanics of each pose. It was easy to feel comfortable and confident, and to feel some muscle memory returning. I signed up for a membership and look forward to adding these classes to my fitness regimen. Check out the membership options. The rates are significantly lower than other studios! Check out the schedule, as well- there are plenty of classes throughout the week- Barre, yoga, pilates, and aerial.

The mat pilates/barre classes with Christine and Andrea will work every bit of your body and leave you feeling stronger every day. The yoga classes range from restorative to power with many conducted in 95 degrees which I personally love! Jodie, Tori, Taryn, Andrea and Lindsey all have different styles, yet I have a hard time deciding between them as they are all terrific! I also love the occasional workshops with fun and different yoga classes and healthy living sessions. (If you've never done breathwork, take Jodie's breathwork and meditation workshop! The experience will surprise you!). I've been coming here for 6 years and I still love every single minute I spend in this space!

This yoga studio offers alot of variety of classes so me and a friend took a sound bath yoga class. We booked at the last minute and it was accepted with no issues online. The class was very relaxing and the instructors were incredibly kind, friendly and knowledgeable. I wouldn't mind coming again and referring this place to other people. My drawbacks would be: the parking lot, it's tough to park in the front and there's limited space in the back; Their restrooms are clean but their sink and toilet isn't bolted down or caulked so it feels very wobbly when using; and lastly is that, it may be hard to enjoy the yoga at times because you are next to a major street, so it can be busy or really loud with police, firetrucks, ambulances, semi trucks and vehicles with flashy/broken exhausts making their way through the streets. Still recommend none the less!

Highly recommend this studio.
