Owner- Aerial YTT

I’m Stefanie, a Registered Nurse that planted my gypsy/travel nurse roots back in New England in 2023. I am always on the go looking for new and fun activities especially traveling and anything outdoorsy. In late 2022 while across the country, my life came to a grinding halt when my genetic condition ‘Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (h-EDS)’ knocked me on my back. By 2024 I had become completely deconditioned and was seeking a safe but fun way to reclaim my body. 

So I googled local aerial studios and dove head first into the various types of classes offered at Aerial Moon. From low flow and stretching to conditioning and dance I loved the mobility, flexibility and strength aerial yoga gave me back. I loved it so much I wanted to learn how to teach others how to do the same! Then in 2025 when the opportunity came up to take over the studio I knew I couldn’t pass it up. I love being a part of this amazing community as a member, instructor and now owner. I am so excited to continue sharing my joy and love of aerial arts!

My name is Lila. I’m a 4 year old rescue pup. I spent the first 2 years of my life with not nice people then some crazy lady brought me to her house, dressed me in sweaters and said she’s my mom now. It’s a pretty cushy life with good food, comfy beds, and I help teach my foster siblings how to be good dogs. Plus, I’m a fully trained service dog for my mom and was recently promoted to studio greeter!

This is great for you because when you arrive at the studio I will give you a quick sniff/treat shakedown and then allow you to give me all the pets you want! I love everyone I meet and give the best kissed. But my mom said not everyone wants to have my tongue in their mouth and love sneezes in their eyeballs. Crazy right?

I love attention and butt scratchies so much. I also love long walks on the beach, hiking (I even hiked mount Washington), paddle boarding, sun bathing, belly scratchies, playing tug of war, naps, snuggles and food.

During your classes I will try my best to stay out of your way, but if you want some snuggles just call me over!

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.
