Aerial Yoga Houston

This studio is located in the white warehouse building on the second floor! You can use the elevator located inside the building or the staircase outside to get to the second floor.
My friend and I decided to give Aerial yoga a try and bought the drop-​in $ 20 class online. We signed up through their website without a problem and the website had a short simple etiquette guideline for Aerial. You must wear a shirt with sleeves. No jewelry and sleeveless shirts allowed!
My friend and I enjoyed our first Aerial basics class, so we went ahead and signed up for more classes! I have to say Aerial basics isn’t too hard but it involves a lot of stretching. I found Aerial Barre a lot more challenging since it requires you to move a lot on your feet. You can think Aerial Barre as a dance class while using the silks/​hammocks. If you like to challenge yourself then take an «All levels» or «Fit to fly» aerial class!
All of the instructors are knowledgeable and helpful! Each instructor is different so try out each instructors class and see which class/​instructor works better for you!

My cousin talked me into cheating on my Saturday morning power yoga instructor to try aerial yoga. The concept and online photography intrigued me, so I had to try it. I am glad I did but will likely stick to hot yoga at another studio. Here’s why:
The day I went with my cousin, the instructor was 20 minutes late. Even though no one was at the studio to let us know what was going on, we were cool with it. The instructor was understandably frazzled, but if we’ve learned anything in yoga, it’s to let that ish go! We all kinda ate that energy, and it seemed like she could not relax until the very end of class.
I wore a sleeveless tank, unaware that we had to wear sleeves to cover our armpits (to protect the silk). The studio loaned me a t-​shirt, and it smelled sour – clearly not a fresh top! My nose crinkled from the odor all throughout class and even parts of the silk had a musty scent. It affected my breathing and concentration on some of those difficult wrapped poses.
Some of the poses would have been cool for an Instagram photo, but throughout the session, I kept thinking I should have been in my power yoga class instead. I did not break a sweat once and wondered if I benefitted from this Level 2 workout at all. Maybe I’m just that hardcore.
The class did not focus too heavily on yoga concepts except for that wicked awesome savasana at the end. It was like napping in a protected cocoon – albeit one that smelled like ass. The novelty factor wore off pretty quick, though I am glad I tried aerial yoga and would suggest it to anyone curious about the art form to check it off the list. Just bring your own shirt.

I happened to come across a special $ 5 class special online that they offered on their website! I have a regular yoga practice, and had done a demo with Aerial Yoga Houston at the Texas Yoga Conference and LOVED IT! I was itching to get back in the silks.
You must wear a shirt with sleeves. They have t-​shirts to borrow, but just come prepared with you own. As fun as this looks, it is very challenging. I attended a beginner class and if I wasn’t already a yogini, I would have been extremely intimidated. Luckily, I love trying new things. I feel like a lot of the moves were advanced for a beginner class, but if you are flexible and have decent balance you’ll do well. My only issue, and this was just 100% me was that I got motion sickness from all the swaying back and forth. I had to stop a few times and regroup. Other than that the staff here was very informative and friendly! I will with out a doubt take another class here!

I learned about this place through groupon last year and bought 3 classes for me and my mom and I didn’t know what I was getting myself into, but it looked so different from anything I’ve ever done before. I really enjoyed it the first 3 times. The instructors were really friendly and helpful.
Getting to the location was a bit difficult at first because they were under renovations and classes were moving around the building, but now they have a select room for their classes.
On Labor Day, free classes were offered and I signed myself up with 5 other people. It was a full class and there were 2 instructors, Lauren and Nicole. We all had a nice workout and everyone really enjoyed using silk as part of the yoga exercise.
I love that the silk aided in stretching out our muscles and working on our core. It was really fun and I felt great when it all ended. I’m really thinking about getting the unlimited membership. I always enjoy my time here and also feel so rejuvenated when I leave.

As some of the other Unilocalers mentioned in their posts, I decided to visit Aerial Yoga because 1) it was a groupon deal, and 2) I wanted to do something different with my work out routine. Mind you, I’m not a complete novice to yoga, but it has been a long time. Additionally, my last yoga class left me frustrated, so I really tried my best to be optimistic and open minded about this experience. Here’s what happened…
I normally pass up my locations when I first visit them, so I tend to turn off early trying to locate them. I ended up seeing the backside of the warehouse building where the studio is located, so it wasn’t too much of a big deal finding the building, but the studio was a little tricky. Since the studio started with a 3, I thought that meant the studio was on the 3^rd floor. Not really… the studio is on the 2^nd floor. Hang a right off the elevators and the studio is down that hallway. I believe there are also stairs that can be used to get to the floors as well, but I didn’t venture to find out since I ended up with a headache after the session (will explain later).
I read the website’s information thoroughly, which included info about the dress code and arrival time. I arrived 15 minutes before the session started (as defined online, but was told by one of the prior session attendees that the earlier session was running over. The instructor apologized for the tardiness, but it may become an issue for someone who has prior timely engagements to have their schedule compromised by the tardiness of a prior class. Additionally, it would be advantageous to have a do not disturb sign or class has begun sign on the door once the class has started. Late comers kept knocking on the door to enter after the class had begun even though the business states on their website that one is not permitted to enter the class after the first five minutes. Therefore, we had some interruptions to the flow of the class in the beginning.
The instructor did try to model the movements and assist participants as much as possible, but being on the 2^nd row from the back, I had to lean over a lot to see her demonstrations – especially once we were inside or using the silks in any way. I did my best to follow along, but some of the moves were just too much for my limbs and body weight to perform. Additionally the inversion activity at the end of the class looked fun, but I just couldn’t trust my body enough to flip over in that fashion. Was a little bummed about it, but I can at least say I tried.
I will say that given the skill set of the class and the fullness of the class may have prevented the instructor in giving more attention to those with much weaker skill sets in comparison to others. Therefore, I would suggest the weekday classes instead of a Saturday class if you want more one on one interaction from the instructor.
There isn’t much space to store a bag inside the studio, but since you have to pay before you attend, you shouldn’t have a bunch of belongings anyway since your shoes must be taken off and placed in a cubby outside the studio. Also, the studio’s website states that attendees do not need any additional equipment for the class, but you do lay on the floor a couple of times during the class, so bring your own yoga mat. Even though the studio will let you borrow one, you might as well lie on the floor if you’re going to lie on mat that other people use. It’s about the same exposure to germs in my opinion.
Biggest suggestion: Get there early so you can check in and choose a silk that allows a clear view of the instructor. Then, have fun challenging your body with aerial yoga. Just make sure you drink PLENTY of water. I’m not a big water drinker (I know shame on me), but I really thought I had drank enough fluids before coming to the studio. Even ate 2 hours prior to the class. I still didn’t feel well after the class. If you want a better conclusion to your experience than me, you will drink plenty of water. Other than that, I’m sure you’ll leave pretty satisfied that you did something different, fun, and challenging for your body.

I had such a great first class! I will definitely be going back! I recommend everyone who is on the fence to definitely give it a try! :)

Well invested time to feel the body workout. If tasks looked challenging, they were explained well enough to follow and enjoy the session. It’s awesome to be held in the air by a fabric!

I personally have really enjoyed my past 2 weeks at Aerial yoga. I went home and told my fiancé how much fun it was. He said «that doesn’t sound like a real workout» and I can tell you it was. It really works your core and arms out. Unlike regular yoga, which could putting stress on your joints as you try to improve your practice, Ariel yoga uses the hammock and gravity to improve your practice. Shout out to my personal favorite instructor Dumebi Uzor! She pushes her students to try cool new things. I truly have had a blast in her classes. And I can’t wait to be in her class again this week.

A few of my girlfriends and I bought a Groupon to try Aerial Yoga. I love trying new and unique workouts, so I was pretty excited to give this a shot. We took the intro class and it was very beginner-​friendly. The instructor took time to go through and explain every stretch and pose thoroughly and made sure everybody was positioned correctly. The most fun part was the last 10 minutes of class where we got to finally invert and go upside down! I wish we had spent more time doing inversions and hanging from the silk, but since it was just an intro class, I understand why we didn’t. I might go back and try a different type of class to see what the others are like!

Hey so I am trying something new and it’s this bizarre thing called aerial yoga. I have a background of dance and thought. Why not?! the least I can do is learn some fun stuff, get a good stretch and potentially fall on my head…
I have only been to one class so far at this location and really enjoyed it. I am still getting used to some of the positioning and the whole say «hey» to your neighbor when you bump into them… because you re swinging in a silk fabric cocoon that can’t be stopped!
The space is neat and the padded floor is a nice add. I like the music and although the A/​C is loud, it is much appreciated. I have liked the instructors of the classes and in my opinion it moved a little slow — it is a basic aerial yoga class though. Maybe I should step it up a notch.
Plenty of parking! The studio itself is a little tricky to find if you haven’t navigated these huge warehouses-​turned-​business/​studios. Found it though and really am enjoying myself. See you next week!

I was not sure what to expect from Aeria Yoga but after some rave reviews from my friends who went there the previous week I just had to try it. If you are looking for a new spin on yoga or just wanted to add something different to your exercise routine then I would highly recommend trying this out.

Aerial Yoga Houston is a super fun way to de-​stress, gain flexibility, build core strength & all while having a great time! The silks are so inviting & they support your body in every posture. Shavasana (corpse pose) feels incredible as you float weightlessly mid-​air.
I booked a private bachelorette party for a girlfriend with the studio owner Nicole and we had a fantastic afternoon doing tricks. All of the women loved it.

Pretty fun classes. Found them on groupon where they had some great deals. i have done 2 of the 5 classes I paid for so far. Afternoons and evenings. You sign up for the class you want online to ensure a silk (that’s what they call the hammock thing). They say to wear a shirt with sleeves to protect your arms from friction, but I’m pretty sure it’s to keep your pits off of the silks. The antibacterial spray they are sprayed with does not cover deodorant stains, and that would be pretty gross. Good to have as an addition to your normal routine.

I really enjoyed the aerial basics class today. Morgan is a wonderful instructor, very helpful, positive and nurturing. I do not do yoga and really enjoyed this. The class was full and the spacing was fine. I did not feel cramped nor did I hit any other person when I was doing the positions. My only feedback is that the location was hard to find. Better signage when you drive up to the building would be helpful.

I’m a bird, I’m a bat, I’m superwoman! These were the many thoughts going through my head during class. I know yoga is all about focus, but honestly this class made me feel creative and free! (self discovery — that counts as a yoga concept, right?) I regularly attend another yoga studio, but this is something different my girlfriends wanted to check out and it was a blast. The poses differ from classic yoga, but the instructors were very helpful ensuring that we did the poses correctly to get the best stretch and prevent injury. Their version of shavasana made me feel like I was wrapped up in a cocoon — very calming! If you haven’t tried it out, I would highly recommend it!

My friends signed up for a private class yesterday, because we thought it would be fun, and it also happened to be my other friends birthday. Worst experience ever!
First off, when you think private class, you think it’s going to be just you, your friends, and the instructor. Evidently, the instructor decided to also teach some student teachers that day. The student teachers decided to sit in the front, so we were pushed to the back and couldn’t see a thing. We tried to tell the instructor, but she just kept getting irritated and said she would walk around and show us later.
Then, after the first hour, the student teachers got out of the way, so we were able to move forward. Sadly, instead of leaving, the student teachers thought the studio was their breakroom and kept chatting in the back. They were so loud that the instructor had to tell them to leave, because we couldn’t hear a thing!
Also, the instructor took everything way too seriously. I’m all about safety, but whenever someone did something wrong or silly, and we laughed, the instructor would disapprove and made it very clear she wasn’t happy with us. We get it– Zero Fun, Ma’am!
We talked about complaining to a manager, but none of us would want to go back, even if they offered us a free private class to make up for the very non-​private class we had.
Oh, by the way, my friend is a yoga teacher and said some of the techniques the instructor encouraged will later lead to you, the student, needing rotatory cuff surgery. No thanks!

I have now been several times and I’m hooked!!! This is a great way to update your work out if you are in a slump and find new ways for strengthening and stretching. My hubby have done several basics classes and a restorative class. We love both and next week plan to try basics 2 now that we can get in and out of the silks easily.
To find the studio, its easier if you park on the side with the presidents heads and the bestle sculptures, not on the target side. Then take the stairs to the second floor and follow the hallway. You leave any bags or shoes outside the room so I would suggest leaving anything valuable in the car or at home if you can. There is a bathroom to change in if you are coming straight from work.
I highly suggest registering online before hand to make sure you have a spot. There are only so many silks, which I like because it keeps the class small.

Fun fun fun must try. Tests you in ways you didn’t think of before. Every instructor has a different technique and style. You’ll find you’ll fave.

I found out about Aerial Yoga through Groupon and it looked interesting so I asked a girlfriend if she wanted to try it out with me. We both purchased a single class for 10.00. The Groupon instructions mentioned to sign up via AYH website and pick a scheduled class. There are a few classes per day and many options/​levels to choose from. It was also mentioned on their website that their location had moved and a new address was given with a brief description of the building to look for.
Once I arrived to the location which is in the Heights in a warehouse like building parking was easy and there was signage for where to go. The studio signage directs you to the 2^nd story but once there a note said to head downstairs around the back to a larger space. This warehouse is a little creepy if you ask me. Anyhow, I found it. Once inside the correct location one of the two instructors checked me in. She couldn’t find my name on the list (I swear I signed up) but, no worries I was able to get a spot. There are about 20 hammocks to this room and most of them were occupied so be double sure you are signed up so you don’t get turned away. I brought my own yoga mat but if you don’t have one they do supply them to you at no cost. Also, take note wear a shirt with sleeves! I didn’t see this anywhere in the instructions or while signing up but, I could have missed it. If you do not have a shirt with sleeves not to worry they also have them to lend out at no cost. You will need to have your hammock adjusted to your hip width so it would be good to get here at least 15 minutes early. I was scrambling as the class was starting as one instructor had to use a ladder to adjust this for me.
On to the practice… This is such a fun new way to experience yoga! So many different techniques and it was interesting how you can use the fabric to stretch and lengthen the muscles. You can do some pretty cool acrobat moves too! The class is an hour long and it went by so quickly! The class was probably 85% new and both instructors were very helpful by coming around and helping us all with correct posture and spotting when doing aerial moves. Both ladies were friendly and experienced. Music flowed during practice which I found out from a recent yoga experience that not all yoga studios use music. Well I like tunes while practicing it lifts the spirits! At the end of class we were encouraged to take pictures and use social media to promote the business. It was fun to get some cool shots of the moves.
Overall this was an innovative way to spice up yoga and my workout routine in general. The prices are $ 20.00 per class but there are monthly and other options available. There is a special on the website or if you check in with Unilocal for a 2 for 1 deal. 2 classes for $ 20.00. My friend and I both left knowing we want to do it again! See you soon AYH!

I was nervous when I first got here just because I’m not a particularly active person, but the Aerial Yoga Basics class was both insightful and really great. I’ve taken two classes here so far, one with shiva, and one with the owner nicole, and they’ve both just been tremendously helpful in teaching a newbie the ropes of aerial yoga. Classes are small in size, which is great on weekdays, when you get a little more personal help if you’re just getting into it.
They offer different classes, basic, yoga 2, restorative, stretch and maybe a few others, I’ve only taken the basic courses and I’ve come out sweating and sore every single time. Overall it’s really fun and a different component and style of working out which is great for people who get tired of just going to the gym. I highly recommend giving aerial yoga a try, it’s $ 20 per drop in class, but every once in awhile they pop up on groupon ^_​^ Make sure you reserve a hammock online since its limited.
