Q: What, exactly IS aerial silks? A: Aerial silks is a type of fitness activity (think circus!) in which someone performs aerial acrobatics utilizing a specialized fabric (see photo to the left). This is a great physical activity for anyone, guys, too! Q: Do you offer Aerial yoga, too? A: Yes! For those looking for a more restorative option versus circus acrobatics, check our out Aerial Yoga offerings starting in Fall of 2021.

Aerial silks is also NOT covered by renter or homeowners insurance and can negate your claims if not noted.

This place is such a gem! I first entered this studio with health issues (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, so movement is challenging for me!), a sedentary lifestyle, and a plus-size body, so I was very intimidated by aerial arts. The instructors here are absolutely fantastic! They are so knowledgable about working with different bodies and abilities. They took me under their wings and helped me with the very basics. I’m now very active, coming to classes multiple times per week for several months straight now. I feel so supported and part of the community. I love COAA!

We have been going to Central Oregon Aerial Arts for nearly 3 years. Kendall is an incredible teacher and mentor, encouraging her students to safely challenge themselves. The focus is on strength before skills for the safety of the participants. The environment is incredibly friendly and supportive, no matter what your skill level or body type is.
