Every person who walks through the door is capable of a transformational aerial journey. The teacher directly shapes whether they get one.
Building the frameworks and shared language aerial education has been missing — rooted in neuroscience, motor learning, anatomy, and a deep belief in what this art form can do for people.
Progress isn't just unlocking skills. It's nervous system shifts, body awareness, and growing confidence. Trick-chasing is solvable — it comes down to education and framing.
Words from the community
From BLOOM graduates and trainees to students who found their home in the aerial arts.
"After completing the Bloom Aerial Teacher Training I feel inspired, informed, and empowered to teach aerial in a way that embodies depth and longevity. Sara has encyclopedic knowledge and passion for aerial that is truly infectious, and it is apparent Bloom was thoughtfully crafted to share that passion."
"Having the knowledge of the amygdala vs the prefrontal cortex and how they interact helped solidify the knowledge that when someone is in fear they truly will not be able to learn anything."
"The stages of learning definitely shifted my perspective in how I teach. I noticed that I'm watching students and holding my cues when they're working on a skill to give them time to feel it in their bodies. My students are actually getting the skills when I give them the space to do it without cues."
"Even though I am studying anatomy and applied anatomy in school, the adaptation specifically to aerial arts has been very interesting to me while reinforcing what I am also learning about in school."
"Having these concepts named and organized is incredibly helpful and will allow me to think about them in logical ways and add them to my curriculum with intention."
"A lot of the time we don't consider all of the body as a whole — in reality it is all working together, which means we have to prepare all systems for aerial work, not just our muscles or joints."
"Sara is an excellent instructor. She makes learning the art very safe and super fun. We are so fortunate to have someone of her caliber teaching aerial silks in Bishop."
"By far the best aerial instruction I've ever experienced. Beautiful community and outstanding instruction by Sara and all of the instructors."
"I've now been going over a year and can't imagine life without this safe and welcoming place. It has become such an important part of my mental health — and I can do a bridge and a pull-up for the first time in my life!"
"Sara is such a dedicated teacher who makes an effort to make every class fun and for everyone to feel comfortable trying new moves or skills. If you are a local, this is a great place to feel more connected to the community."
"Sara and all the teachers are fantastic — so supportive, communicative, knowledgeable and patient. The space is bright and inviting and my fellow classmates are wonderful people. I feel strong and empowered at Embodied Aerial, and carry that energy into the rest of my day-to-day."
"I drive 45 minutes from Mammoth to the studio in Bishop multiple times a week because the aerial community Sara has created is such a positive part of my life. Sara has poured her soul into the studio space and all of her instruction, and her creative spirit makes every class a joy!"
"Even on bad days when my mind is low or my body is feeling stiff I am able to leave class feeling so positive and satisfied. If you have hesitations for any reason, give it a try — you will likely be surprised by the diversity of abilities in the space."
"Embodied Aerial has brought so much joy to my life and to the Eastern Sierra. Sara offers an aerial program that prioritizes safe instruction, cultivates community, and inspires growth through artistry. I feel a sense of renewal — Sara has reawakened my passion for aerial silks."
"A wonderful community full of supportive and inspiring women in a beautiful studio led by an incredible teacher. Embodied Aerial has brought me so much joy for years. I highly recommend to anyone!"
"One of the most amazing studios to attend aerial classes at. Embodied Aerial provides a safe, welcoming, beautiful community environment to learn new moves, practice routines, and to explore body work and aerial dance."
"Learning aerial silks has been one of the most wonderful things to come into my life in years. It's the whole package: exercise without feeling like a chore, total mind/body engagement, always challenging and fun, and a great community to boot."
"Sara, our aerial arts instructor, is a true artist of transformation. With inspiring leadership skills, her commitment to collective growth is like an invisible thread that connects all practitioners."
"The studio has been a safe haven for me since moving to Bishop. Everyone is kind and welcoming and I feel like I have built so much strength and confidence since joining this community."
"It's such a gift to have a place like SILK Studio in Bishop! Sara is an excellent and skilled instructor. She explains everything clearly and knows how to progress any beginner or advanced aerialist. I also appreciate the aerial fit classes, which help any beginner get strong and confident enough for aerial."
"My daughter took a silk class last summer. She loved her teacher Ms. Sara. She was super helpful and felt challenged. We will definitely be back for some classes this summer."
