Nashville's Top Aerial Yoga, Breathwork & Healing Experiences

About this Experience

What you'll do:

For those groups looking for a deeper and more intentional local wellness experience. Dre offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature, the body, and each other in her special zen bungalow nested in the treetops of Donelson (just 15 min from downtown). Kick off your experience by grounding intention with mindfulness and breath. From there, groups are guided through their choice of movement practice: aerial hammock or grounded yoga. Class types range from restorative/relaxing to active/acrobatic - customized to your group’s energy. Sessions end with sound bowls and reiki-infused, relaxing adjustments. Optional ayurvedic catered bites and drinks are available at an additional cost. For those looking for an entire nervous system reset, please enquire about the cold plunge/sauna experience.

Why we love it for your party:

  • Homey nature setting (Home studio nestled in the treetops)

  • Authentic experience (Not a Nashville tourist trap, a genuine local experience)

  • Customized flow arts movement option (Gives your group a joyful, unique physical expression)

  • Intentional and relational (Dre is your guide and welcomes you into her home and heart)

  • Led by experienced instructor Andrea "Dre" Hartley (Brings international experience, 10+ years of aerial arts and wellness background)

  • Mind + body integration (You’ll leave feeling both physically energized and mentally refreshed)

  • Inquiries: Please inquire about separate costs for Ayurvedic food catering or the sauna/cold plunge experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the aerial or yoga beginner friendly?

Yes. Every session is customized to the needs of your group, so the aerial or yoga can be as relaxing and gentle or challenging and acrobatic as you'd like.

What is Aerial Yin? And grounded Restorative and Yin Yoga?

In Aerial Yin the yoga hammock is rigged just one foot off the ground to assist in relaxing Yin and Restorative poses. I also offer a Restorative and Yin Yoga class where we use bolsters, blocks and blankets (no aerial hammock) as we move through a relaxing series that helps restore chi and soften fascia in the body.

What is Aerial Yoga?

In Aerial Yoga the hammock is rigged hip high, and we use the fabric as a prop to assist in traditional yoga poses, deep stretches and inversions.

What is Aerial Hammock or Aerial Silk acrobatics?

In Aerial Hammock the material is rigged as a hammock at hip height, and we learn skills, tricks and transitions using the apparatus for support. This class is more challenging but can still be tailored to the experience level of the group. In Aerial Silks the fabric is rigged with the center point at the top and two free flowing fabric tails hanging down. Aerial Silks is the most challenging aerial apparatus I offer, but so much fun!

What is Yin/Yang Flow?

Yin/Yang Flow is a grounded yoga class that moves between more dynamic Yang flow movement as well as more still Yin pose holds to restore Chi in the body. This is a great balancing practice to both circulate life force energy and deepen a sense of calm.
