While crowds may still feel a long way off since the wake of COVID, now is the perfect time to start conditioning if you have aspirations of performing in the future. Even if you do not have aspirations to perform, aerial practice can help you reach the best shape of your life! The art form brings intense challenges that are beyond mere mastery of certain tricks or sequences.
Aerial arts can be very demanding on the body, but you will likely find that your career is greatly enhanced by keeping in your best condition. This includes all of the physical, mental, and emotional aspects that make up who you are. Remain attentive to conditioning all of these and you can stay on top of your game.

Here are a few tips and tricks for maximizing your wellness in aerial arts:
While many factors are at play, you can think of your conditioning routine as a way to safeguard against things like injuries and other preventable setbacks.
Aerial arts present an illusion of effortlessness that expertly hides the years of training and hard work that it took to get to that moment in time. This is part of the beauty of the work. When you build a strong foundation with good self-care, strong technique, and a conditioning routine that works for you, you are setting yourself up for success.
