What Do I Wear?  We recommend wearing thick leggings and a t-shirt. Silks may cause rope burn on any exposed skin.  Common areas we see rope burn include the neck, waist, and thighs. Additionally, the fabric may be uncomfortable in certain positions, specifically around the thighs, and the thicker the clothing material, the less painful it will be. 

What Do I NOT Wear? Refrain from wearing any jewelry, including rings, which could snag fabric or break during class. Do not wear jeans, belts, or any other restrictive clothing. No shoes are allowed. 

What Should I Eat Before Class? We recommend eating a light snack or meal about an hour before class. This practice burns a lot of calories, and your muscles will need energy in order to push yourself until the end of a session. 

Is There a Weight Limit? Although our silks and hardware are rated for thousands of pounds, we restrict our classes to a 250 pound weight limit. Performing certain moves amplifies the weight of an individual, so even a 100 pound person can generate over 1,000 pounds of force. 

Are There Any Age Restrictions? This program is for both children and adults, and we accept students from ages 7 and above.

Are There Any Side Effects?  Although this varies from person to person, it is common to feel light headed or nauseated when in certain positions. There are numerous health benefits to doing inversions and to spinning, but bodies typically have to acclimate to this practice before being comfortable. In order to combat this, we recommend going slowly, drinking water before class, taking frequent water breaks during class, and hydrating after class. We also recommend consulting a physician if motion sickness persists as some individuals find taking OTC medications or other consumables to be helpful.
