After seeing the success of having showcase mentors to guide students through the 8 weeks of showcase prep the last few years, we have decided to make an entire individualized mentorship program help students peruse any of their aerial goals year round. Are you excited? We are! Check out the details below:
Do you have aerial goals and dreams just waiting to be explored? Do you envision yourself doing bigger more high flying things? Do you feel like you’ve hit a plateau? Are you struggling to find motivation? Are you feeling a little lost on where to even start to achieve all these ideas swirling in your head?
We’ve been there, we feel you, we see you, and we are here to support you with Elevated Aerials Mentorship program!
This 6 week program is designed to help you start honing your goals by breaking down big ideas into more bite size pieces. How do we do this? By getting you in the studio more, by mapping out plans specific to YOUR goals, creating new habits, and by holding you accountable along the way.
Here’s what’s included:
ONE half hour Brain Storming Virtual Consultation
SIX one hour private lessons focusing on YOUR goals (virtual and/or studio)
ONE 4-week workshop of either sling, silks or lyra
EIGHT Flexibility and/or Open Gyms

Brittany Naegel:
Growing up Brittany enjoyed competing on a national award winning rowing team, coaching swim team for her local community center, and assisting with any outdoor adventure sport she could get her hands on.

After her first touch of the fabric, she was hooked! She began taking classes, training and teaching all over!
