from Between the Lines · host Sara Kaiser

The first time I ever saw aerial, I was certain it was not something for someone like me.In this episode, we explore the common underlying belief that “aerial isn’t for people like me,” and why it's so powerful to break through that. I share a personal story and an unexpected realization 18 years after the first time I saw aerial for the very first time.This conversation also touches on what it means for teaching: how our approach, presence, and small choices can shape whether someone feels like they belong from the very beginning.There is a very cool surprise ending to this story (and no, the surprise is not that I decided to do aerial after all!)Access the film "Wings of Desire" (Der Himmel Über Berlin) hereLearn about the BLOOM Aerial Teacher TrainingSubmit an idea or guest pitchFREE TRAINING Hidden Gaps of Aerial TeachingBLOOM Aerial Teacher TrainingAerial Silks Online Tutorial LibraryStrength ProgramsCello Intro & Outro Music by Shaun Diaz
