There are three ways in which we suffer according to mindfulness teacher Tara Brach:

1) The “if I just” belief and pleasure seeking cycle. If I just accomplish this task, obtain this parter or earn this reward THEN I’ll be satisfied, able to enjoy life and relax.

2) How we often relate to ourselves in a negative way when we get caught up in the above cycle. Do we treat ourselves kindly or do we get frustrated when confronted with our human condition?

3) When we see that our pleasure seeking cycle has no end and we realize just how much of the present moment we miss out on by trying to achieve something better.

By refocusing on self care we can build awareness around when we’re caught up in that cycle, begin relating to ourselves in a more loving way and gently remind ourselves to enjoy today’s gifts.

Our primary goal at the AER Aerial + Flow Arts Sanctuary is to create a healing space for our community. In addition to a variety of workshops, group fitness classes and private lessons, we now offer wellness treatments included in your membership package. Thai yoga massage, reiki and chakra cleansing are among treatments we offer in our space, at your home or online.

“The day she realized she could” by 👩‍🎨

🕯How to heal your soul and create a life you don’t have to escape from:

1. Recognize that your inner saboteur is a liar! Awareness invites compassion. Put down the stick, pick up a feather 🐥

2. Our unconscious is like the walking dead 🧟‍♀️ projecting the same story over and over until we make a conscious effort to change the story. It starts with prioritizing small daily behaviors that feed your soul (journaling, exercise, gardening, painting, prayer, therapy, etc)

3. We must be willing to face uncomfortable emotions that we’ve suppressed and learn to self soothe without abandoning our inner child 👶 Trust that recovery pain is not for nothing, but the price of action towards a life you never imagined

4. We can’t do it alone. Find your support community 👫👭👬- 12 step programs, book clubs, meditation groups, fitness communities, etc. Relying solely on your partner is not enough, make sure to nourish a support group outside of your primary relationship

At the Aerial + Flow Arts Sanctuary we inspire our community members to connect, have fun and express themselves through a variety of unique movement disciplines, proving not even the sky’s the limit on your wellness potential.

I grew up in small-town, suburban America where the social atmosphere felt competitive and superficial. Individuality and self-expression were undervalued, feeling and healing took a backseat to curating a certain outside appearance. From a young age, I tried to fit into a mould rather than be myself. As I matured, I felt disconnected from the world and without purpose.

In 2007, I burst my hometown bubble and traveled to Rwanda with a survivor of the 1994 genocide. I witnessed suffering and forgiveness on a scale that jolted my eyes open to the power of HEALING. I knew I had to return to East Africa, I had to use my privilege to create a platform for others, and I had to help people heal.

I discovered yoga, circus arts, and community as catalysts for positive change and purpose in my life. In 2014, I decided to move to East Africa permanently to work in service. By 2017, I realized my passion was to develop a scholarship program that gave local youth the opportunity to pursue wellness and entertainment as a career.

Now we have a place to call home at the Aerial + Flow Arts Sanctuary in Nairobi, Kenya, our very own studio and community center where we:

1) train and empower aspiring wellness leaders, circus entertainers, and ambassadors of change
2) build a supportive fitness community that motivates our members to live healthily, express creatively and have fun
3) host transformative wellness retreats and service learning opportunities that develop self-love, compassion and connectedness

While some events are on hiatus, we DO offer in-studio AND online classes including: aerial silks, aerial yoga, yoga dance, vinyasa flow, ashtanga, hatha, HIIT, acroyoga, kundalini, hula hooping, mobility, cirque kids, afroSass dance and pilates + core.
