One week after the series concludes, participants will present their acts in a Cabaret Evening at OM Factory, with an additional chance to perform at the renowned, iconic venue The Slipper Room (extra fee applies).  In this workshop, we will explore performance, musicality, story, character, and audience engagement through movement, experimentation, and play—both in the air and on the ground! The tools and techniques of this workshop are designed to help everyone from first-time performers to seasoned professionals, and anyone in between. Lastly, costumes and confidence come into play as we polish your act. Choose your favorite apparatus from silks, lyra, rope, hammock, or a duo act with a friend! Participants are encouraged to dream up anything their imaginations want to explore. NOTE: Students must be able to attend all sessions and be able to perform skills on the apparatus of their choice prior to enrolling.

She started an aerobic dance (you've probably never heard of it if you're not from the cassette era) club with her friends in college. She also did mat yoga, thinking it was a flexibility training. Years later, when she was trying to find herself in motherhood, she discovered aerial hoop and aerial yoga. The rest is history.She received her 200hr Teacher Training with Atmananda Yoga. She is also certified in Aerial Yoga and Advanced Aerial Yoga with Om Factory, Restorative Yoga with Yoga Vida, and Kids Yoga with Yogi Beans. Yoga has brought her so much joy. She feels humbled and grateful to be able to share it with her students. Izzy:  Izzy signed up for her first aerial yoga class on a whim in 2019 during a personally difficult time. Little did she know that it would be one of the answers to heal; reconnecting her mind, body and heart. She fell in love with the aerial arts, quit her corporate job of 9 years, and never looked back. She loves to support people in their journey of developing physical, emotional and mental strength, working through fear in a safe environment. She invites her students to come as they are and to meet their body where they're at with loving acceptance. Her class focuses on finding a sense of play, curiosity, grace, strength, and gratitude. She encourages her students to give her requests, laugh, take up space, and to find their unique expression. Her style of teaching is empathetic, kind, warm and silly. Izzy completed OFSY's 200-Hour Teacher Training and 50-Hour Aerial Yoga Teacher Training. You can follow her and say hi on instagram @itsiiizzzyyy!
