Enlightened Aerial Arts

Enlightened Aerial Arts is a class that offers instruction to all experience levels. The class is open for intermediate, and advanced students using the silks as the preferred apparatus.

Introductory level students are taught simple aerial arts fundamentals using the rope and silks as well as the hoop and trapeze. Bruce and Simonne encourage students to learn the basics over the course of a few weeks so they can easily "graduate" to an intermediate level.

What if you discovered that you were much lighter than your bathroom scale reads? Would you be a better aerialist? If you answered yes to this and you can open your mind to new possibilities, this class may be for you.

All of our classes are aimed at personal growth, fitness, and enlightened present moment awareness. This class introduces concepts of enlightenment from a more practical perspective, simply from a deeper understanding of the physical world that we live in.

The current science of physics introduces us to a new way of relating to gravity and current neuroscience gives us a new perspective of our own physical form identity. We use the term "enlightenment" as a way to perceive the body as physically lighter, rather than a traditional spiritual perception. Our energetic relationship with our bodies and gravity are discussed and practiced in this class.

The instructors, Simonne and Bruce, have a unique and comprehensive understanding of the human body and how it functions, both from a neurophysiological perspective, as well as from the anatomical perspective. The addition of the "spiritual" perspective is something that creates a unique environment for learning and improving technique, style, and personal expression.

In this class we also teach solo work and duo work with a performance focus.

Seattle Aerial Arts partners with Cirque du Trois and Seattle Gold to encourage and provide advanced students with performance opportunities as well as improving the professional presentation of the aerial arts as entertainment for private and corporate parties and events.
