Episode Description:
Are you curious about the world of aerial arts but feel intimidated by myths, misconceptions, or “rules” you’ve heard? In this episode, we’re separating fact from fiction.
Learn why aerial is for all shapes, sizes, and ages, how to train safely, and why you don’t need to be a gymnast, dancer, or daredevil to start. We also talk about grip aids, drops, and why personal responsibility in safety matters more than you think.
Whether you’re a curious beginner or an experienced aerialist, this episode will inspire you to let go of myths and embrace your aerial journey.
