Nanook Recreation is testing a new group fitness offering — Introduction to Aerial Silks — in August. The class is free with a current membership at the Student Recreation Center.

The class is intended for absolute beginners. People of all genders and fitness backgrounds are welcome. The class will cover some fun moves that can be done from the ground, basic climbs, strength training for inversions and even some safe drops. Please wear tightly fitting clothing with nothing that can snag on the silks.

The class will last four weeks so skills can be taught and progressed can be made. Class size is limited to ensure safety and quality coaching of participants.
