Augment your technique on aerial sling by learning the fundamental transition at the base of the loop. Beneficial to any student, beginning-or advanced

Drop it Like It’s Hot for Intermediate/ Advanced Aerialists at 12:15 pm:

In this workshop students will learn the techniques for executing smooth, eye catching drops and dynamic tricks. Want consecutive elbow circles but don't have them yet?

Afraid to drop into knee hang? Come to this workshop with any dynamic skill you'd like to troubleshoot and dive into the core of dynamic movement.

Prerequisites: Students must be able to invert into the sling from standing on the ground with the bottom of the sling hanging at chest/head height. A familiarity with beats will be helpful, but is not required.

Join us for a comprehensive workshop to understand the effects of hypermobility in the aerial community. During this session, we'll delve into the intricacies of hypermobility, including its definition, diagnostic criteria, and the various types recognized within medical literature. We'll also explore common comorbidities associated with hypermobility and provide insights into recognizing their impacts, empowering participants to modify their routines based on daily physical feedback.

We'll address considerations specific to the hypermobile population when engaging in both aerobic and strength training exercises, ensuring a holistic approach to aerial fitness as well as general well-being. By the workshop's conclusion, attendees will be equipped to identify signs of hypermobility, comprehend its systemic effects on the body, and adapt their movement programs accordingly.

Presented by Stephanie Weiner, Dr. of Physical Therapy and Momentum Aerial Student -

Stephanie is a graduate of Northern Arizona University with a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT), and a certified Pilates instructor and strength coach. She has been coaching for over nine-years; during which she has worked with paralympians, rowers, chronic pain patients, and diverse patients/clients in between. She specializes in helping people who have been discounted or failed by the medical and/or fitness industry because of the systemic gaps in our healthcare system.

Who Should Attend:

Aerial Students who suspect they have hypermobility, parents of students with hypermobility, people who have been diagnosed with hypermobility by a healthcare professional, or students who have been told by an aerial teacher that they may have hypermobility. This workshop is also great for aerial students who struggle to invert.
