Sky's The Limit - Aerial Fitness & Yoga
Tyra Clemmenson
Tyra attended Wake Forest University where she majored in Health & Exercise Science and played Division I Field Hockey. She was first introduced to yoga during a backcountry expedition and found it to be a powerful tool to relax and stretch tight muscles. Tyra is a registered yoga teacher (RYT-500) who received her initial yoga training at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health. With additional specialized training in Teaching Yoga To Athletes, Tyra uses her knowledge of a wide variety of sports to enhance individuals' athletic performance. Tyra holds a Master of Science in Yoga Therapy from Maryland University of Integrative Health. As a Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), she uses yoga practices and poses to cultivate wellness, while addressing health concerns like diabetes, anxiety, hypo/hyperthyroidism and depression. Her yoga teaching style focuses on anatomical alignment, mindful movement and challenging students to step outside their comfort zone.
Tyra obtained AntiGravity Fitness Aerial Training at Christopher Harrison’s AntiGravity Fitness Lab in New York City. Her aerial certifications include AntiGravity Fundamentals 1 & 2, Aerial Yoga 1 & 2, Restorative Aerial Yoga, Suspension Fitness 1 & 2 and AirBarre. Tyra provides pose variations and continually changes aerial class content to target different muscle groups. Laughter is always welcome in her classes…aerial is fun!
"I have been taking aerial classes at Sky’s The Limit for six years and I’ve been amazed at what I’ve learned and how my body has strengthened and grown in its abilities! Tyra breaks everything down into manageable steps and builds on complexity gradually over time, so the poses always feel challenging but achievable. Exploring in the hammock and testing the boundaries of what I’m capable of has given me a new level of confidence and appreciation for my body. I also enjoy seeing familiar faces and getting to know my fellow classmates a little more each week - Tyra always introduces everyone by name and sets the tone for a warm and friendly community. I honestly just can’t get enough of aerial, and I look forward to class every week!" -HM
