Trapezing

If you've ever dreamt of being able to fly, trapezing (or flying trapeze) might just be the closest thing to it.

The act of flying through the air can stimulate every muscle in the body - including the mind.

Originating as a circus art, trapezing, or flying trapeze, has become a popular choice for those looking to increase their fitness levels and have a whole lot of fun at the same time. Learning trapeze allows you to experience the exhilaration of flying and catching, along with the joy of mastering a unique skill.

A typical first trapeze lesson involves getting comfortable sitting on the trapeze and learning how to land in the safety net. Next, you will learn how to hang upside down and back-flip into the net. A more advanced task is to hang upside down and have one of the instructors catch you from the other trapeze.

Health benefits

Trapezing is great for toning the body and also gives the core muscles a really good workout. It's a wonderful way to relieve stress as it gives you a feeling of "letting go".

Trapezing improves flexibility, strength and balance. Its mental benefits include building self-confidence and motivation, and it gives you a great, natural adrenaline high.
