TESTIMONIALS

The training was amazing, I feel blessed to have been a part of it.

"Zina’s enthusiasm is contagious, and she is encouraging with detailed explanations to make sure you understand."

The hands on training like spotting and working with each other to see what problems could arise and how to solve them.

The practice and review sections with the support of everyone was so helpful to learn and remember the proper “cues”.

I thought the training was excellent. I am way further ahead and developed than I would have been without it.

The spotting and assistance was a great help to learn the moves when I was uncomfortable.

I truly enjoyed this experience with you into the world of Aerial. Thank you for the amazing opportunity.

I like it all from learning to teach all ability levels, the workout, happiness from Aerial, and having fun learning to flip and fly.
