Stretching and Conditioning for Aerialists
This workshop focuses on the core stability, postural awareness, flexibility, and strength that are at the center of the Nimble Arts injury prevention philosophy. We'll start with flexibility conditioning, where you'll learn ways to get the suppleness you've always been looking for. Then we'll use the trapezes, fabrics, and floor work to show you how to strengthen muscles you never knew you had. After this "boot camp," you'll never train the same way again!
