Soon they fell in love with the new hybrids Aerial Yoga in 2015 and their obsession with Aerial Yoga soon developed to curiosity on other Aerial Fitness.
After some hit and miss, they noticed that the learning sources of Aerial Fitness in local community is very limited. They continued to explore for more systematized sources, collecting pieces of information here and there with the intention to bring Aerial Fitness accessible to everyone, not just limit to on stage performance.
Life is crazy, unexpected and fascinating. In 2017, they met Faramarz, the man behind OM Factory School of Yoga New York.
