I love aerial and I love sound bath. Bootea Flow Yoga Studio in Placentia is one of the first places I see offering an Aerial + Sound Bath class. Since it was my first time at the studio, I came early. There was plenty of parking in the plaza.
Upon entering, the studio had a lot of plants. They also had a great tea selection in front. I checked-in with my instructor Tina and she gave me a quick tour of the studio. We went to the aerial silks to pick one that was the height for me. I also recommend coming early so the instructor can adjust your silk to the height you need.
Tina had an amazing south bath set up, more equipment than other studios I have been to. She has a peaceful and intuitive energy about her.
I am familiar with silks so I didn't need directions to get in, but I heard her give really helpful instructions to the students who were first timers to aerial.
When it was class time, we all got into the silks in a cocoon pose. Tina mentioned students usually like to be on their backs or their sides. I normally lay on my back but that intrigued me so I also tried laying on my side during class to experience the difference.
The sound bath was so soothing, I emerged from my cocoon a beautiful relaxed butterfly. There were definitely students who dozed off and fell asleep passed the end of class.
A great restorative class led by a great instructor. I would love to come back to this studio when my schedule permits for more classes with Tina. Until next time! read more
