The program has been carefully crafted to include swinging, spinning, stretching, gripping, and, yes, inverting. These techniques not only fine-tune the kinesthetic and vestibular systems of the child’s body, and educate the child to respond to verbal cues and training, crucial stepping stones in maturation, but the program will stress balance, both of body and mind. The program is designed to provide the child with numerous original poses and sequences that promote self-confidence and encourage the enjoyment of meaningful, physical activity. Most of all, it will be fun!

"Your child will learn the joy of performing twists, swings, and inversions, all while becoming more balanced – both mentally and physically."
- Mihaylova

Leading the program will be Silviya Mihaylova, Swet Studio’s® operator, herself. In addition to bringing her background as a competitive, youth sports coach to the floor, Silviya is an AG® Certified Kids Aerial Instructor, a process recognized by the National Academy of Sports Medicine and the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America as a Continuing Education Provider.

Each class will conclude with a calming wind down, with the child cocooned in a silk hammock, for a period of quiet repose. Part of the idea, explains Mihaylova, is for parents to be able to return to pick up their child after the two-hour class, and for the child to be calm and ready to transition to bedtime or quiet time at home.
