We seamlessly blend the physical challenges of aerial & circus arts with holistic practices offering a unique approach to overall health and wellbeing.
We are located in the north end of Canberra, in Mitchell. We are a dedicated aerial acrobatics and circus space that serves as a playful haven for all ages. We take pride in building a safe, non-competitive, and supportive environment. Established in November 2015 with a single adult silks class, we've since expanded to offer a wide range of classes for toddlers through adults. We offer:
- Aerial & circus disciplines: aerial silks, lyra, trapeze, aerial hammock, aerial yoga, partner acro, tumbling, flow toys & more.
- Ground based movement: pilates, yoga, dance, and more.
- Wellness modalities: sound baths, meditation, women's circles, sacred circles, and other healing modalities.
"Play" isn't just for kids—it's vital for adults too, especially in our sedentary, screen-focused lives. While we may run or hit the gym, we often miss the joy and exploration that come with play. That's why we've created a playground for all ages, offering a nurturing space to move, connect, and have fun while staying fit. Our classes let you explore what your body can do, making the workout secondary and fitness a natural byproduct. Our warm-ups are playful and unconventional, focusing on functional movement and dynamic stretching because we believe in the power of fun. Play not only boosts energy and brain function but also keeps you feeling young and vibrant. We combine physical movement with mental engagement, connecting mind and body for a truly holistic approach to fitness. Whether you're looking for strength, friendships, or personal growth, we have something for you. Let's PLAY!
In 2023, we stated adding wellness modalities to our studio. We know the body & mind are deeply interconnected and influencing each other, so maintaining balance between them is essential for overall health and wellbeing. True wellness isn’t just about physical fitness; it’s a whole body experience that includes mental, emotional, and even spiritual health. Science has shown that when the mind is under stress or unwell, the body often compensates, leading to various physical ailments such as fatigue, headaches, or even chronic illnesses. Likewise, neglecting the body can negatively impact mental health, creating a cycle of imbalance. Achieving true wellbeing requires nurturing both the mind and body, as one cannot thrive without the other. By addressing the whole self, we can cultivate harmony, resilience, and a deeper sense of vitality. See our Events page for upcoming wellness events, such as sound baths, sacred circles, one on one energy healings & more.
We have local professional aerialists & acrobats which can be hired for events, festivals, shows, as well as interstate performances. We are home to Canberra's local aerial acrobatic & circus troupe, Cirque de CBR (formerly Solco Acro), who have performed at various events in Canberra. Performances can be suited to specific events, or as generic aerial performances. The type of performance can also be tailored to venues – depending on rigging options. Contact us for prices & options: info@aerialsports.com.au, or 02 6262 0215.
We also hold yearly in-house Showcases, where our teachers, our adult regulars & our Performance Troupe get a chance to shine & entertain. It is an evening you won't want to miss!
