Try this beginner aerial silks drop from a knot to test your strength and trust! This backwards drop is hands-free and requires you to climb above your knot to get two loops around your legs. The important thing here is to make sure your legs are together and piked when you are dropping. Putting your arms in a T will catch you on the way down!

Best of luck starting your aerial fitness journey! Want help along the way - Cirka is an online education repository and program that walks you through aerial skills and teaches you from the ground up!

Dragonfly is one of the first aerial poses we recommend learning when starting aerial silks. It helps you navigate the silk, build shoulder mobility and strength, and sets you up for a handful of beginner drops. This move is accessible from the ground (no climb needed!) and can also be done from an aerial sling/hammock.
