Leeds Aerial Arts

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend this space enough. Particularly aerial hoop and aerial yoga. The monitor, classes and people that attend are amazing. So sad that this will close its doors in April.

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to the hoop and handstand and yoga classes for a couple of years now and it's my absolute favourite, happy place. It's so friendly and welcoming and fun. We just had my daughter's birthday party here and the girls had the best time. The annual aerial Weekenders are incredible. I really can't recommend it enough. Go give it a try!

Fantastic experience: My daughter loved celebrating her birthday here with her friends. The coaching was excellent, pitched at exactly the right level and really inclusive ensuring all the girls had a great time regardless of their natural ability. Two parents have already asked me for the details as their children have said they'd like to do the same thing for their birthday.

Positive experience: A very spacious studio. Just silks are very stretchy so be prepared.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place friendly staff ready to help every week there's something new

Fantastic experience: I loved both days and did exactly what it says on the tin

Fantastic experience: Loved it

Fantastic experience: Super welcoming and friendly.... Give it a go if you're debating it. I love this place

Positive experience: I went for beginning Ariel yoga class, but because other people in the class were advanced we ended up doing advanced class. Everyone was very kind and patient, but I did feel a little bit stupid afterwards cos I felt it should of actually been beginners stuff. I didn’t go back.

Fantastic experience: I tried the handstand class for a few times, Bryony is a very skillful and cheerful teacher, I enjoyed the session and see my improvement every time

Fantastic experience: I started doing beginner’s hoop in May after a few years of no exercise due to injuries. I’ve been really surprised and impressed by what I’ve been able to achieve over the past few months. The instructors are all really friendly and encouraging, they are happy to modify shapes and exercises to meet everyone’s needs and will cheer you on when you need it. Everyone I’ve met who comes to classes is also really friendly and keen to help own another out. It is a really kind, supportive community and I’m over the moon to be a part of it. I’ve essentially moved into the studio over the last few months, and highly recommend it to everyone I meet. If you’re not sure about giving Leeds Aerial Arts a go, all I’d say is try - you’ll be pleasantly surprised by what you achieve if you give it a go, and you’ll never know if you don’t start.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely can’t speak highly enough of Leeds Aerial Arts! I started with a 4-week beginners course in March, and 10 months later I haven’t missed a week — unheard of! A really great and complementary range of classes, supportive teachers and a fantastic community. Love it.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic aerial school - lovely, friendly, supportive atmosphere to train in. I had booked a drop-in silks class while staying in the area, which unfortunately had to be cancelled due to instructor injury, but Lorna contacted everyone promptly, refunded the lesson fee immediately, and insisted on letting us use the equipment for self training at no charge! She was also on hand with some great advice. Can't ask for more than that... I'll definitely visit again when I'm back in the area!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing place to train and learn new skills! Such a supportive and welcoming environment. It doesn't matter what level you are. Highly recommended this studio for everyone!

Fantastic experience: Love it here! Great classes and instructors and such a supportive atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Great class schedule, friendly staff and learning skills I never thought would be possible for me. An absolute must!

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience. Looking forward to going back

Fantastic experience: Superb instruction on Aerial Hoop. Lorna made us feel relaxed and able to try something new even if it was intimidating at first. It was wonderful to see everyone succeed. So much fun meeting new people and challenging ourselves! Thanks Lorna

Fantastic experience: Great place

Fantastic experience: Brilliant studio with friendly supportive instructors. I've never enjoyed exercise but I love doing aerial and having a great place I can go to train with has really improved my fitness and general well-being. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Excellent studio with lovely instructors! They've gone above and beyond during the pandemic offering so many options to help everyone!

Fantastic experience: Leeds Aerial Arts is amazing and learning to hoop is so much fun. There are always lovely people in class (instructors and hoopers) who are super supportive, and it's cool how you learn to move in ways you didn't think possible. As a bonus, I've got a lot stronger! I was so weak when I started (it's amazing I could even lift a mug to drink from) but the instructors are so helpful, adapt to your level and give lots of tips so everyone can have fun and get to where they want to be, no matter how strong, weak, confident, anxious they are. I cannot recommend LAA enough; it's changed my life, and many other's.

Fantastic experience: I went for an aerial hoop lesson here and will definitely be going back! The instructor (Kal) was so friendly and I felt really safe while having loads of fun - definitely recommend if you're looking for a new hobby.

Fantastic experience: LAA is my happy place! I love how strong the Aerial Yoga and Aerial Sling classes make me feel - I don't do any other exercise quite like this! Lorna and the team are so welcoming, and the new space is perfectly set up.

Fantastic experience: Welcoming, friendly and spacious studio with classes to suit all abilities. If you’re wanting to try a fun, new hobby or practice your skills in aerial, this is a great location. COVID safe and fantastically supportive instructors!

Fantastic experience: Favourite place in Leeds, each and every instructor is amazing! Very supportive and fun way to stay active and achieve new goals! Fantastic covid-19 response, well-organised and super safe.

Fantastic experience: Well I didn't think that leeds aerial arts could get any better. But it did! The new space is amazing and it's massive. I'm so excited because this means loads more classes, loads more time to spend with like minded people. If you've not tried aerial yet give it a go. It's for everyone. The team make you feel at ease, support and guide you every step of the way. You will be doing amazing things in no time. See you there. Xx

Fantastic experience: Leeds Aerial Arts is simply a wonderful asset for the city of Leeds. I have been doing their Aerial Sling class regularly for a few years now and I am amazed how far I have come both physically and mentally as a result. The classes are just the perfect full body workout, without even noticing. The teachers are always fun, bubbly and helpful whilst at the same time push you to reach your potential getting the absolute most out of every class and each beautiful shape they help you to create in the air! I have tried a number of different classes at LAA and although I haven’t been able to stick to all of them due to my own busy work schedule, I have always found every class the perfect escape from the ordinary day to day routine and with a wide variety of different classes available either in flight or quite firmly on the ground, there certainly is something for everyone at any level, from complete beginner to the more advanced aerialist! I would always recommend aerial sling with the marvellous Maisie as, that is such a cool class and I also really recommend the new Flying Pilates with the lovely Lorna too as, that is the perfect way of developing a floor based workout to be far more interesting through making certain elements airborne. If you really want to progress quickly in superbly nurturing environment then, the private lesson are an ideal solution and are actually rather affordable with deals available if you book a block. I have always felt super welcome at LAA and particularly love the whole one big family vibe the place has. The new studio is incredible! It’s extremely spacious, has fantastic comfortable facilities and its in a great location just on the outskirts of the city centre with good transport links. I personally had very little physical strength when I started at Leeds Aerial Arts and had never done anything like it before so, I have been very impressed with where the journey has taken me so far in a reasonably short time along with the opportunities that have also come my way through being a part of this fab little community. I never thought I would survive my first class never mind reach the stage where I am able to do an aerial photo shoot and get some really great images to keep so, I am very grateful for all the team has done for me. If you have ever thought about giving Aerial a go or have wondered what it feels like, this is the place to give it a try! I don’t believe you will regret it!

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend this place enough. It's such a well thought out venue with excellent facilities, a friendly and fun atmosphere and amazing teaching. Its great for beginners all the way through to those who have years of experience. I have been to sessions before where I don't know anyone else in the class and have always felt extremely welcome thanks to the wonderful environment created here - give it a go!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic instruction and fantastic equipment. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I love this place- so happy it's open. Great venue, amazing instructors. Super covid clean!!

Fantastic experience: I've been having online zoom sessions with LLA right though lockdown. I don't live anywhere near Leeds so can only do online classes. I've mostly done stretch classes and flexibility workshops and more recently, handstand training too. I get so much from the classes that they're vital to me as part of my flexibility training. The instructors are wonderful, everything is explained so well and such attention is paid to us all and how we're doing. You never feel out on a limb. It's every bit as good as being there in person. Every session is varied too. And there's the added bonus of the classes being recorded so if you can't make the live class, you can do it whenever you want afterwards! I've truly benefited from these classes and I can't recommend them enough. Thank you so much, Kathryn, Dora and Lorna! I hope we meet in person eventually!

Fantastic experience: Fun and friendly

Fantastic experience: We required some training for a University presentation and Lorna stepped in and blew us away. Her attention to detail was amazing and her encouragement was second to none. By the end of the hour we were all doing things we had never tried before. Outstanding value for money. Could not recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Leeds Aerial Arts for a year now, and it's such an incredible experience, the instructors are friendly, the people are lovely and there's a real sense of community if you go regularly! A great time and a great workout with endless ways to push yourself if you're up to it!
