Soar Athletics owner Denise Lloyd indulged her passion at a competitive Orlando-area dance studio for 13 years before a chance encounter revealed her true calling, not on the dance floor, but above it.
Denise found new love after her best friend introduced her to aerial yoga (also referred to as anti-gravity yoga), which is similar to traditional yoga, but with participants suspended in the air, supported by a hammock.
Denise initially found aerial yoga a little too slow paced for her taste, but fell in love with an aerial silks class she took shortly thereafter.
“I started taking classes four days a week, and about two years later, I was already teaching classes at the same studio I started at,” Denise says. “I knew then and there that aerial silks was my passion.”
