My daughter not only loved the class but loved the coaching. From great stretching to learning technique she is really growing each week.

Her incredible coaching skills and natural ability to connect with the kids make all the difference. Her passion for teaching is truly evident, and it has played a huge role in my daughter's growth. From starting at the entry level to now beginning her competition journey, the progress has been shocking. Thank you to all the amazing coaches at Avatar Sports, for your dedication and love you pour into the studio. We truly appreciate it! Samea

I've been attending a weekly silk class at The Aerial Classroom for 8 weeks and here is what I've…read morenoticed: Week 1: I had no idea what to expect going in. I flopped around on the silks like a pigeon caught in barbed wire. The next day my whole body was sore but the class was fun so I decided to go again. Week 2: Learning new moves. I think I started this 30 years too late to make it Cirque De Soleil but I like it so I'll keep going. It feels like my posture is getting better. Week 3: My clothes are fitting better. I've lost at least an inch off my stomach. Week 4: Very little cramping at that time of the month compared to normal. Week 5: This is addictive, I feel like I need more of this new drug. Every tree I see becomes potentially climbable. Week 6: Come to think of it that pain in my neck and shoulders that was there for years hasn't been there since I started this. Week 7: This might be some kind of Benjamin Button thing because I feel younger. Week 8: Monthly cramping is gone. I feel mentally sharper. I've discovered the fountain of youth. Granted all of these are the effects of exercise, but I find just going to the gym and doing the same thing over and over to be boring. With acrobatics there is always something new to learn.

So from the moment we walked in the vibe was majorly off. We found Jessica to be quite rude she…read morebarely introduced herself and just passed us the waiver. We just came to have fun there was no free play. I don't believe she smiled once. I get someone having an off day but that is when you professionally apologize. We drove 2 hours to deal with her stale attitude. After about 45 minutes of her bad vibe I stopped and was stretching and her response was you have about 15 minutes if you are done let me get you out of your harness and you guys can go. We paid $150 for a two person class and after asked if there was a water fountain and she said no but you can buy water for $1. Really $150 and you can't comp a bottle of your off brand generic water?!!! So what to know if she's having a good day ... She has different harnesses some are more comfortable than others. I would not recommend the class if you are looking for fun. I could see it being good for someone who is looking for technique.

My daughter also goes here now to benefit from the detail-oriented coaching and instruction. The reviews on Yelp are what brought me to Aerial Method in the first place so it feels only right to contribute my own. They've built such an inclusive environment where people of all ages, shapes, genders etc. grow in aerial and support each other. No matter where you are in your aerial journey, your fitness, or your age, moves and poses are tailored to you to help you grow. It's such a supportive community, and I've made some incredible friendships. I'm grateful to have found these guys.

Weeeeeeee!!! I took…read moremy second aerial hammock class with Sepida, a sweetheart with the muscle definition of a goddess! I found it great that this new-ish studio has beautiful high ceilings and a $20 introductory offer for first time fliers, so I hastily booked the class. They have a very user friendly website with convenient online sign up for both their group classes and semi-private and private lessons. In this late night class (8:14-9:45pm), there were two students including myself. The other student (Belle) also happens to be one of the aerialist instructors! So it was nice to basically be surrounded by experts. Class starts out with light stretching... and when I mean light, I mean light. Lol! When I return I'll be sure to stretch a bit on my own. I do like that there is plenty of time to work on the silk and because the class size is so small, you get to be up flying for even longer. Sepida is really good at recognizing your strengths and challenges and is sure to communicate ALWAYS to see how you are feeling. Tired? Take a rest and stretch. Ready for more? Get up and be challenged! There is also water and pretzels in case you need a little more hydration or salt! Make sure to bring your skid resistant socks for class, they are required! Otherwise you can buy some from them for $5 (toe socks or no toe socks)! Can't wait to go back!

The owner, Kristy, is exceptional. It is clear that she has had a lot of experience working with kids. She was encouraging and helpful and enthusiastic. She really connected with the girls and made them feel so comfortable. The activity itself was a big hit with the girls. None of them had ever tried aerial arts before, and some were a little nervous about it. But after just a few minutes, Kristy had them upside down and smiling. Each girl absolutely wants to do this again. It was so fun, and a great workout, too. I would recommend this as a team building/bonding activity, birthday party, or even just a fitness class. Wonderful five star experience.

~ FLOATING SHAVASANA WAS ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL ~…read more I've always wanted to try aerial yoga, and I'm so glad that my first experience was at the Aerial Studio. I booked the Intro to AIReal Yoga class through ClassPass, with Kristen O' Briant as the instructor. You can either bring your own mat or use one provided by the studio. They offer both aerial and AIReal Yoga classes that use hammocks in the practice. Our class took place in the back of the room, where a beautiful array of hammocks was set up. Kristen was an amazing instructor--she took special care of beginners, ensured we were making safe moves, and offered modifications when needed, all while providing encouragement and still challenging us. As an avid yogi, these hammocks really helped deepen my asanas, and I enjoyed this fresh approach. The highlight for me was the floating shavasana. Normally, I struggle to fully relax during the final shavasana in traditional yoga classes, but this experience was magical. Swaying gently and being cocooned in the hammocks - like a butterfly before it transforms or a baby in a womb - made it the most relaxed I've ever been during shavasana. A couple notes for the studio: during the first half of the class, there was also a children's class happening at the same time. It wasn't too disruptive but did occasionally make it hard to focus and be present. Also, dimming the lights during the final shavasana would enhance the atmosphere as well as show off the beautiful twinkle lights strung above the rafters. I highly recommend this experience and am looking forward to my next class! *HOT TIP: This was my first visit to Pacific View Mall, and I had trouble finding the studio. The studio is located inside the mall and between Old Navy and American Eagle.

Each class is a little different, and I definitely recommend "shopping around" to see which instructor you prefer the most. For most of my classes I've been with Veronica on Sundays, and it has been such an amazing experience. Firstly, I was consistent for 3 weeks, then took a 5 month hiatus. Veronica remembered me instantly when I returned. Secondly, she's always looking out to make sure I'm safe whenever I'm doing anything. She's incredibly patient ensuring that I'm doing the form correctly and very knowledgeable in avoiding any potential mistakes or problems. Finally, she's aware of my own personal level and experience- she knows when to push me to try and do a little more. Finally this space is such a vibe! The ambiance truly enhances the experience and has so much character and charm.

I still feel like this is one of the best aerial spaces in Los Angeles, but I could be a bit biased to the high ceilings and making such great connections at this studio. Only thing I would love, is if they offered more hammock classes and open gym slots. It I know they also offer probates with instructors so I'm sure they have to accommodate a lot of that too. Nonetheless it's my home studio now
