Coming to a class at Boise Aerial & Fitness was the best thing I have done in a long time for both my physical and mental wellbeing. I live a pretty sedentary lifestyle and came to the studio for some fun fitness activities. The staff at Boise Aerial & Fitness are some of the best and most kind people I have come across. Iridessa makes sure all classes are fun and you forget you're working out. I primarily do aerial yoga which has given me the ability to do some stretches I have never been able to do comfortably with the assistance of the hammock. If you're apprehensive about going, just GO! Everyone who attends classes are so friendly and so is Iridessa. You won't regret it, even if you're an introvert like I am!
I've been attending at least one class per week here for many months. Mostly aerial yoga but also silks, hip-hop, bellydance, and open studio. The studio itself is beautiful. Very small, so make sure you register for class ahead of time. Don't show up and expect there to be a spot for you. The decor of the studio just makes you want to be in the space. It's gorgeous and the instructor is meticulously clean. As far as the classes, I feel that everyone can benefit from aerial yoga. It includes stretching and fitness, but you're far less likely to get injured with aerial than you might at a regular yoga class. (With the hammock your stretching is often supported). Since I've been going, I've taken along friends, my husband, my in-laws, and my 11 year old daughter. It's for all body types and skill levels. Another aspect of this I love is that the focus is on movement - not chanting or setting your intention. There's nothing wrong with those things, but I've been to classes where half the class seems to be spent chanting, and I much prefer and appreciate more focus on the movement. The instructor is Iridessa - she's very easygoing, skilled, and a born teacher. If I can do this, anyone can. It's truly become the highlight of my week.
