AerFire AerFire is an aerial arts studio. We are growing into dance, music, and theater.

Our aerial arts are based in up to date exercise science to ensure our aerialists can fly for a lifetime of hobby or career aerial performance art. Paula is obsessed with applying exercise science within the field of aerial arts to create safe, healthy, and FUN aerial training with longevity. She is also a classically trained soprano who approaches vocal technique with an athletic bent to build purposeful choices in technique.

Ground Fire πŸ”₯
Today, Saturday 3pm
https://get.mndbdy.ly/DoTgaieBb6b

We are meeting upstairs in the new dance studio today.

Focus of the day is split strength. We will get a good full body workout, scaffolded for each individual person. We will hit hamstrings and hip flexors aggressively and enjoy a lovely stretch sesh at the end of class.

Hey, Aerialists, we cannot forget about our legs. 🦡

We tend to think shoulders when we think about aerial work, but our legs take a surprising amount of the work. I think (my opinion) that legs and hips are more likely to get imbalanced in aerial if we aren't mindful.

This 4-way lunge is simple, easy to learn, easy to implement, (not necessarily easy to do), simple to add load by adding a weighted vest. And it takes one leg at a time so we can suss out any differences between right leg and left leg.

I recommend doing 4-way lunges once a week.

To progress in aerial, we need to build muscle and muscle memory in our ground work.

Noah Polignone has such beautiful lines. It's the muscle in the posterior chain.

Aerial strength is no joke! Flow, elegance, dynamics, pop, and snazzy-jazzy moves are all built upon a foundation of muscle. πŸ’ͺ

If you are taking aerial classes and you aren't satisfied with your progress, feel you are locked out of certain skills, or simply want to bullet-proof your hips, knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, and wrists, adding Ground Flow and sessions in the Strength Training Room can totally change your aerial experience!

I'm a Certified Personal Trainer with the National Academy of Sports Medicine. My hyper focus is in building the body to master aerial skills. I'm here to help you figure out how to do this for yourself too!

An ideal schedule for a beginner, main exercise is aerial:
1 aerial class per week
1 mat class per week
1-2 sessions in the Strength Training Room per week
2 intense days. 2 gentle days

An ideal schedule for intermediate level:
2 aerial classes per week
1 mat class per week (optional if you need extra support)
1-3 sessions in the Strength Training Room
3-5 days total

AerFire's strength training room is only available for AerFire subscription members so the space is designed just for you.

***Poles are coming soon. I'm heartbroken over my 1st and 2nd plans...3rd plan is a charm. Ha! Seriously, I'm taking the time to make sure we get the best option for us! Aerial and pole classes will be interchangeable in the system. Buy one subscription and pick and choose as you wish.

*Class levels are interchangeable too. So you can move up whenever you are ready.

Great things are happening at AerFire! πŸ”₯

My son, Isaac Van Kuren is building a doorway between the two aerial studios. He did the door frame in the waiting area today. It's beautiful!

This corner is full of favorite things! The poem by Joyce Anne Day makes me smile every time I pass by.
