Testimonials
What People Are Saying
Lindsay Nova makes the course fun with her playful energy and her professional instruction ensure that we are all safe.
Some have asked me, “Why aerial yoga? Why not regular yoga” This approach is much gentler for those who have had injuries and surgeries, but it is still hard work, making the body stronger while lengthening muscles and tendons to help avoid future injuries. For me, it is like being back in the dance studio, only up a little higher… which is way more fun!
Restorative aerial yoga, which uses a lower height, is also good for people who suffer from chronic pain issues such as fibromyalgia or arthritis. I have seen my body evolve into a much healthier being with not only a stronger core but with more muscular legs and arms, too. I’m very pleased with my progress and my healthier me!
Lindsay is an extremely knowledgeable instructor, she is kind, open and understanding. The environment she created was so supportive, and it was honestly some of the best weeks of my life. I look forward to hopefully one day furthering my skill set with her. Thank you again Lindsay!
