Air & Asanas is specific about its disciplines — pole first, aerial arts second — rather than a vague fitness or traditional yoga studio label.
Pole Dance & Pole Fitness
Air & Asanas leads with pole dance and pole fitness — combining strength, dance and acrobatics into a progressive full-body practice for beginners through advanced students.
Aerial Silks
Aerial silks at Air & Asanas blend dance and acrobatics mid-air. Students learn to climb, wrap, spin and invert with control — building strength, flexibility and creative expression on the fabric.
Aerial Hoop
Aerial hoop — also known as lyra — is a circular steel apparatus for spins, poses and dynamic movement. Air & Asanas classes guide students from mounting and basic shapes to flowing combinations.
Aerial Hammock
Aerial hammock at Air & Asanas uses soft, supportive fabric for deep flexibility work, conditioning and playful acrobatic flows.
Aerial Yoga
Aerial yoga at Air & Asanas is part of the aerial arts programme. Classes use a supportive hammock for suspended stretches, gentle strength work and calm, controlled movement — not traditional mat-based Hatha or Vinyasa yoga.
