Michaela was introduced to mat yoga through her high school and college sports but did not adopt a regular practice until 2020 when the pandemic forced her to find ways to be active at home. She uncovered a true love for yoga and in 2023 found herself trying her first class at Aerial Moon after she saw her cousin in the silks on social media. This quickly became a new love and her primary practice, attempting all classes and gravitating towards aerial dance and conditioning. Michaela completed her Aerial Teaching training in 2025.

Outside of the studio Michaela is also very active, running and weightlifting with mat yoga for recovery. She is an engineer during the day but has a real passion for teaching which led her down the yoga teacher path, and she is currently on her way to getting an E-200 YTT for mat yoga! When she isn't moving her body, she enjoys reading, baking, or scrapbooking.

Jackie is a certified Physician Assistant and medical lab scientist who found her passion for aerial in early 2020.

Jackie enjoys molding beginners of all body types and backgrounds into aerialists and allowing others the satisfaction of being able to do hard things. Jackie believes in celebrating every small win and prioritizing self care.
