Fly through the air with greatest of ease.....

We watch in awe at the turns and tricks of the Cirque du Soleil girls...wrapping themselves up in tissue and spiraling to the ground as if held by fate and an extraordinary sense of safety. Of course it is impossible! They've been doing it for years, we tell ourselves, we are too old, too fat, too stiff. Like Glinda the good witch said, "it is always best to start at the beginning", and while the mind is an obedient servant, it is a rather limited master. Our resident aerialist and Cirque Du Soleil performer Aloysia Gavre has actually taught us how to do the stuff of dreams -- and if we can do it, anyone can. Aloysia began with us on the ground (not so far to fall), and we learned how the secret to the most flamboyant and inspiring stunts comes from building layers of trust, passion, and grace from the ground up. Aloysia will convince you the only thing stopping you is you, by teaching you first on the ground and then on an enormous balance ball, you'll steadily learn how your body is capable of much more than you realize....after aloysia's six week workshops, you'll be screeching with delight as you hoist yourself up with the greatest of ease... We're just going to say it....conquering extraordinary moves under the tutelage of a master aerialist beats the crap out of going to the gym. If nothing else, you will have some party tricks up your belt that will amaze everyone around you, including yourself.  the voice inside you might exclaim "this can't be happening", but it will be silenced by the sheer fact that it is, and you are. Consider yourself warned, it feels so good (and looks good, too, damnit!) the challenge soon becomes convincing yourself to stop. We may be wrong, but we're willing to bet you'll have to tear yourself away from the aerial tissue by the end of a few classes...and incidentally, even that looks pretty cool. Glinda the good witch was also quick to point out to Dorothy she had the ruby slippers all along. We're just saying, if you have the courage to believe, if only for a moment, that you, too, can fly...we'll see you up there...We're totally hooked.    Aloysia Spain E!

Everyone we know who has seen the Cirque du Soleil secretly walks away with a wish…I wish I could do that, what those people do is simply amazing..... We started to think about it, and if you know us at absolution, thinking usually means we are going to give it a shot. We figured since our studio was so

We were pretty astonished at how easy aloysia gavre made hanging from a “single trap bar”, rolling herself up in “tissue” (long red drapes), and hanging out in a suspended hoop look. we were even more astonished that after only a few hours of coaching, aloysia had us right up there, too, and it is now the course we call SOOOOOO MUCH FUN! The amazement continued. When we took a dozen lessons with Aloysia, we were
