My favorite! And they have been incredibly thoughtful about COVID-19 processes for reopening in-studio classes. Online core, cardio, and flexibility classes are keeping me sane (and I hope these continue when the studio returns to previous in-studio numbers). Instructors are so amazing, gently encouraging while respecting where a student is in their aerial journey. Could not recommend mor highly!
I took a beginner aerial class here just over a year ago, work no prior experience whatsoever, and it was one of the best decisions Ive ever made! I am easily bored with workouts, and prior to coming here I thought I just didnt develop strength very easily. Im now spending hours a week here and always look forward to my classes, even though theyre some of the most physically intense workouts Ive ever done, and Ive gained more upper body strength than I ever thought possible! The instructors are all amazingly talented, both on their apparatuses and at teaching all levels. Ive particularly enjoyed silks classes with Ashley and Paulina, both of whom are so sweet and also constantly push me to improve. Theres a strong emphasis on conditioning and safety, and Ive been able to safely push my flexibility in ways that used to be dangerous for my body prior to coming to night flight. Such an amazing workout/hobby/community - I definitely recommend giving aerials a try here!
Home of some amazing and very talented people. The instructors are kind, encouraging, and know what they are teaching. Night Flight offers a variety of classes and have drop-ins on weekends. The sense of community is strong here and after even just one term of classes, you feel like youre a part of it.
After a long day at work, I always look forward to seeing Kerri and Treya on the Lyra, or Paulina and Ashley on the Silks. They all light up my day so much that I almost forget I’m working out! (sometimes) I only started practicing aerial about 2 years ago, and I haven’t improved anywhere else as quickly while having so much fun. And the studio is beautiful to top it all off!
The most inclusive, positive space to learn and grow. I love learning trapeze!
Love, love, love this place!!! Couldnt say enough positive things about my experience. 1 million stars :)
Do yourself a solid and take aerial classes!!! Ive seen such a huge transformation physically, mentally, and emotionally. I originally signed up to keep myself busy during the winter rainy season, but Im hooked and cant stop going. The strength and flexibility gains Ive made from aerial have helped advance my long term yoga practice in ways I did not know was possible. This was the BEST decision I ever made. And I love the adult only focus (I love kids, but adults need their playground too). The teachers are so supportive and respectful of every student and their abilities, and they are very safety focused. I seriously love this place! It literally has changed my life.
Aerial is a great workout because it combines strength, flexibility, and endurance. Plus its fun! Night Flight is an incredible studio, and their coaches help you literally reach new heights. They are professional, responsive, and very qualified. I would 10/10 recommend trying out their classes.
Night Flight is an inviting studio with a safe atmosphere. The instructors are all extremely knowledgeable and genuinely care for their students. They provide a creative space that sets students up for success while building strength over time. Night Flight is the perfect space for both beginner and advanced aerialists alike.Throughout my time at the studio, coaches Kerri and Amaya have always been very encouraging and passionate. Their positivity makes class fun and motivating. It is always a joy to learn from them both!
I love Night Flight, it is an amazing aerial studio. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, skilled in their art, and caring. I have practiced at several other aerial facilities and in my opinion, Night Flight is above the rest. Their training is structured and always feels safe. There is a dedication to learning proper technique and form, which is reminiscent of ballet, but with a kindness that is often overlooked in dance schools. The teachers are very encouraging and want to help you succeed at what you want to learn. The facility itself is comfortable and pretty; natural lighting from large skylights, mirrored walls to help develop form, heat and AC for comfy training no matter the weather outside, and good class sizes that give everyone a chance for some personal instruction. I highly recommend Night Flight for beginners or anyone really.
Night Flight is hands down the best circus school in Portland. The instructors are friendly, knowledgeable, and always make me feel safe in the air. I’ve really progressed and conquered all sorts of tricks I never imagined I’d be able to do. I especially love Ashley and Paulina, who always have the perfect tip to make my tricks more fluid and beautiful. The space is gorgeous, clean, and climate controlled. I can’t recommend Night Flight highly enough.
It’s like a real jungle gym for adults!!!!Clean, fun, energetic space. The teachers are knowledgeable and friendly. Floors impeccable. They really take care of the space and have expanded since opening some time ago. Look forward to honing my skills with this team!My only recommendation is that they consider installing a slide or pole to slide from the loft to the main room.
Love, love, love Night Flight! Ive been attending classes on-and-off since late 2015, taking time off for unrelated injuries, and Im finally getting back in the swing of things - hopefully for long term! Ive taken Beginner 1, Beginner 2, Silks 1, Stretching, and, now, Straps 1. Throughout most of my classes, Ive been wildly lucky to have Ashley as a teacher. Shes assisted me with my straddle ups, splits, bridges, and more; shes been supportive and encouraging through all of my injuries. Ive had other teachers, of course, and have yet to find any one I did not enjoy being around. The atmosphere at Night Flight, in general, is focused on fun, safety, and progress. Its a fantastic studio and I will be taking classes for years to come.
I love this place. There are many different series, skills, and apparatus to choose from. I havent had any instructor who has not been helpful and fun. Ive been learning straps with Omri and Paulina for a few months and theyre pretty fantastic. Theyre a good team and I always leave class feeling better than when I walked in. You will learn good fundamentals and be pushed towards new skills when youre ready for them, regardless of which class you take.The studio itself is a great space. Lots of room to work, they keep the class sizes reasonable, have good safety protocols, and its always a welcoming environment. Definitely sign up for whatever strikes your fancy.
A beautiful studio full of really talented aerial athletes!
Ive been taking classes at Night Flight for two years now and no other studio Ive experienced compares in terms of layout, professionalism, safety orientation, and instructor expertise. Im currently taking a silks class with Treya and Ashley, both of whom are friendly, supportive, and patient, and give clear, thorough instructions. I feel honored to practice with them and am continuously inspired by their aerial mastery.
Eee! I love this place! When I started at Night Flight ~4 years ago I couldnt even do a pull up! Now I can do pull-ups and so much more! I so look forward to playing around in the air at the end of each day with the fantastic guidance of the Night Flight team. Whether its Silks with Kerri & Paulina or Lyra with Kerri & Treya, these teachers (and honestly everyone at Night Flight) have been SO ENCOURAGING, supportive, and inspiring from day one. The teaching is excellent, the classes full of joy & laughter, and the studio clean and safe. I never have to convince myself to exercise now that Night Flight is in my life; coming here is an absolute treat.
Night Flight is the most amazing aerial studio. I feel so lucky to have started taking aerial classes there almost three years ago now. The studio is beautiful, clean, and air conditioned (big deal in the summer!), the classes are a balanced combination of warm-up, skill building, and conditioning, and the teachers are amazingly supportive of each student, knowing when to nurture and when to challenge you. I’m currently taking Trapeze and handstands classes with Larke, Daniella, and Amaya, and can’t recommend them strongly enough!!! Give Circus a chance. You will not regret it!!!!!
Definitely the best aerial studio in Portland. Very clean and safe. The instructors are very skilled too. Ive been going here consistently for 5 years its that good!
Training and playing under the tutelage of the Night Flight Aerial instructors has been one of the most enjoyable, challenging and rewarding experiences of my life. Discovering the circus arts has completely changed what I imagine I am capable of. The teachers provide amazing guidance that balances creative daring with safety, support through the physical and emotional challenges of aerial and an incredibly open and accepting atmosphere that finds the possibilities hidden behind every apparent limitation. If youve ever dreamed of flying, heres where you can discover you have wings!
A remarkable place. Inspiring, thoughtful coaches (thank you Daniela, Larke, Amaya and team!!) who provide a safe, structured experience in a beautiful little studio. My day is always better if it includes a training day at Night Flight.
Night Flight is the perfect place to start your aerial journey. I am very impressed by the beautiful studios, well designed curriculum, strong emphasis on safety, and above all, the awesome teachers!! Special thanks to Ashely, Paulina, Kerri, and Treya for helping me build a strong foundation on the silks. Also many thanks to Jack, Amaya, Daniela, and Chalese who taught my first ever classes on the silks, trapeze, and chair.
Attentive, inspiring coaches and beautiful studio space. With a wide variety of class types and levels, Night Flight is an incredible place for first time, beginner, and advanced aerialists alike.
This place is great. The classes are fun, instructors have patience, and their shows are theatrical. Totally recommend.
Great studio for Aerial Arts including Trapeeze, Silks, and Lyra. The staff and students are what make this place though. Super helpful and supportive.
I adore taking classes here. The instructors are bad ass, knowledgeable and empathetic.
Great place and space for aerial. The owners are amazing people!
I love this studio. Coaches are amazing *and* its temperature controlled.
Love it!
