Aerial yoga takes the practice off the mat and into a soft fabric hammock suspended from the ceiling. The hammock does some of the work your muscles usually do alone, so you can move into shapes that would be tough, or impossible, on solid ground.
At The Studio BE, we call our version BE Aerial. It’s built to be playful first and technical second. You’ll swing, invert, stretch, and build strength, all while the hammock keeps you supported through every movement.
Every BE Aerial class opens with a grounded warm-up before you ever touch the hammock. From there, your teacher walks you through hammock-supported stretches, strength sequences, and playful inversions, building in complexity as the class goes on.
You don’t need flexibility, upper body strength, or aerial experience walking in. The hammock is adjusted to support your body, not the other way around, so beginners and experienced students move through the same class at their own pace.
Our studios stay room temperature, around 75 degrees. You won’t find artificial heat here. You build heat from the inside out, through the work itself.
BE Aerial works for two very different kinds of students, often in the same room:
If the idea of hanging upside down sounds intimidating, that’s normal, and it’s exactly why we start slow and build trust with the hammock before asking you to invert.
looking to cross-train, decompress the spine, and add a new challenge to an existing practice.
Hanging inversions gently traction the spine, which many students describe as an immediate relief for a desk-bound back.
Holding and controlling your body weight in the hammock builds core, shoulder, and grip strength without ever touching a weight.
The hammock supports deeper stretches than gravity alone allows, so you open up safely instead of forcing a stretch.
Swinging, inverting, and playing in the hammock pulls your focus out of your head and into your body. Most students leave lighter than they walked in.
The Studio BE holds hundreds of five-star reviews across our three Houston studios, from students who came in nervous about the hammock and left asking when they could come back.
