class details

Our classes are designed to speak to and support each other. They are our unique way of teaching our students a movement practice while meeting you where you are with your goals.

BUILD your foundation

strength

Our strength classes are designed to prepare your body for our ground movement and handbalancing classes.

Drawing from traditional weight training, gymnastics, and calisthenics, we focus on building strength in your arms, legs, and shoulders using both weights + accessories and organic movements. Before you know it, you’ll be landing handstands and cartwheels with ease and flow.

mobility

Our mobility classes are great for beginners, students returning to movement after a break or an injury, and foundational training for all of our students. You’ll see a wide range of skill and age in the room.

Improve your flexibility, reduce stiffness, and move with more freedom in your body. Each class works through hips, spine, and shoulders using guided drills that build strength and your range of motion at the same time.
