We are passionate about bringing an exhilarating way to explore movement and exercise in alternative ways for the Fort Smith and River Valley community! We love how aerial fitness is so beneficial to everyone and every BODY, no matter the age, body physique, gender, dance background, or fitness experience. Together, we embrace our weaknesses and celebrate victories! We stand for a safe and knowledgeable family environment to support you on your aerial journey.
Our teaching structure is to provide our classes with the proper knowledge in the foundations while we progressively gain strength, ensuring all around are safe, inspiring the best work from our students, and encouraging the challenges that keep testing your comfort zone.
We promise to provide inspiration, motivation, and stimulating relationships so that we can continue to evolve as a community for generations to come!
IT’S ALL ABOUT COMMUNITY!
Community is the Soul of Bewinged Aerial Fitness and it breaths its own sacred energy into the heart of the studio.
Our shared space is a place where we can discover a sense of belonging. It’s a place where individuals come together to connect and support each other; it’s where we can grow and bloom into the best versions of ourselves without judgment. Because everyone here is seeking refuge in something greater.
From all walks of life, we are individuals who feel encouraged to leave behind insecurities, comparison, jealousy, and judgment.
Our purpose at Bewinged is to reclaim our community and the right to sit with others in unity, to heal the pain, distrust, cattiness, and fear; in a safe haven where like-minded individuals become your soul family!
WE LOVE TO GIVE BACK!
Our involvement and impact extends beyond the studio walls, we share this energy with local individuals and businesses. Former owner, Kristi Boatright, shared what we are all about at the Trade Fair on the 188th Air National Guard Base in 2017. Erin & Kayla, Proud supporter of Maeli Jones and the Van Buren Theater Department 2022. Using a few of our old yoga mats, Wellness Kits were donated for a private auction to The Healing Place 2024. Remaining yoga mats we used previously in the studio were donated to animal rescuers 2024 for a private auction. More will be added as we GROW!!!
Going beyond the community, Mother Earth is our home and we know the importance of pollinators & a clean environment. Whenever we go camping, walking, or any kind of outside activity, we are always sure to leave it cleaner than we found it!!!
