A few things to know before your first class:

LOCATION SYDNEY STUDIO: Sky-lab Sydney is located five minutes walk from Central station at 342 Elizabeth st Surry Hills. Look for a black metal gate next to a takeaway. Buzz 405 and the Bell Symbol on the keypad to gain entry. Take the graffiti elevator up to level 4, exit right, follow the arrowed pathway around the graffiti rooftop and look for the hanging garden - Our black studio door is opposite.

The studio is open fifteen minutes before each scheduled class. 

LOCATION GOLD COAST STUDIO: Sky-lab Gold Coast is located at 76 Ferry Road Southport, Queensland. Turn off Ferry Rd at the Taco Bell entry and drive to the warehouse car park at the back, look for pink studio signage. 

ARRIVING LATE: Arriving more than 5 minutes late to your scheduled class will forfeit your session. We value your safety and experience in class and individually rig your hammock at the start of each session to your specific height. Please ensure you arrive on time.

WEAR : stretchy clothing that you feel comfortable moving in that won’t ride up when you’re upside down. Ensure your clothing has been pre-washed or is colourfast and contains no external zippers.

BLING: all jewellery including watches needs to be removed before every class to protect your jewellery and to prevent snagging the aerial hammock.

MAKEUP: Please remove heavy makeup and all lipstick prior to your class - baby wipes are available at the studio. Also please ensure any freshly painted nails are completely dry before attending your session.

H2O: bring plenty of water to stay hydrated pre and post class.

I'm an experienced floor based yogi, where should I start?  

Aerial Yoga is a fusion technique combining traditional yoga poses and aerial arts. While a floor based yoga experience with inversions can definitely support you in your aerial practice, we recommend starting in the beginner program or workshop. If you have previous experience using aerial arts apparatus such as: Aerial Silks, Trapeze, pole or Lyra reach out here to discuss your best option for class or course level.
