About Aerial Yoga
Aerial Yoga combines traditional yoga poses with aerial techniques, taking your practice to new heights — quite literally. Using a hammock as a prop, you'll deepen stretches, improve balance and explore inversions with the support of the fabric. A unique and playful approach to yoga that adds excitement and challenge.
Intimidated by inversions? This class is for you. Our yoga-inspired focus on arms, legs and core — combined with the supportive cocoon of the hammock — makes flying accessible to almost everyone. If you've been searching for aerial yoga on Long Island or aerial yoga in Queens, our Chester, NY hammock studio is a straightforward drive or train-and-ride trip, and weekend class times are built for students coming in from the city and the Island.
What to wear
Leggings or capris and a fitted top that covers the backs of the knees and armpits. Bare feet. Avoid lotions and heavy fragrances.

FAQ
Aerial Yoga questions, answered
Where can I find aerial yoga classes near me in the Hudson Valley?
Flexibility in Flight is in downtown Chester, NY, minutes from Goshen, Monroe, Warwick, Middletown and Central Valley, and about an hour from northern New Jersey and the NYC area. Aerial yoga runs weekly with hammocks provided and street parking right outside.
Is aerial yoga the same as suspension yoga or flying yoga?
Yes — aerial yoga, flying yoga, suspension yoga and hammock yoga all describe the same practice: familiar yoga shapes supported by a soft fabric hammock so you can decompress your spine and invert safely without holding your whole body weight.
Do I need to be flexible or strong to start?
No. Aerial yoga is our gentlest entry point into aerial. The hammock carries most of your weight, so brand-new students can stretch, invert and build strength from day one with hands-on coaching in small classes.
Booking FAQ
How booking Aerial Yoga works
How do I book a class?
Use the live widget above (or open it in a new tab). Create a free fitDEGREE account, pick a Aerial Yoga class on the date you want, and check out. You'll get an email confirmation immediately.
Which class should I pick?
New to Aerial Yoga? Start with the lowest level offered (Beginner or Level 1). If you have prior experience, check the class description for prerequisites — or contact us and we'll point you to the right fit.
The widget shows no availability — what now?
That usually means the next week's schedule hasn't been released yet, or the class you want is full. Open the booking site in a new tab to view a wider date range and join the waitlist — we release spots regularly.
Can I cancel or reschedule?
Yes — we have a strict 12-hour cancellation policy for classes and a 48-hour policy for events, workshops and series. Cancel a class at least 12 hours before start time in your fitDEGREE account for a full credit back. Late cancels and no-shows forfeit the class and are charged a $20 fee.
Do I need a package or can I drop in?
Both work. Single drop-ins are available, and class packs / memberships save money if you plan to come regularly. See our pricing page for current options.
Still stuck?
Email or text us through the contact page and we'll book you in manually. We're happy to help first-timers get set up.
