Ari is a professional acrobat & dancer from NYC. She feels blessed to have fallen in love with something so early that has provided an artistic & expressive outlet able to support and fulfill her spiritually & emotionally, as well as uplift & inspire others in the process. She has her BA in performing arts, and has been traveling & teaching internationally since 2012. She specializes in hand balance, hand to hand partner acrobatics, fire arts, hoop dance, Acro Yoga (with prop manipulation), Tantra Acro, Aerial Arts (silk, duo lyra, hammock), flying trapeze, clown/character work, physical & musical theatre, ballroom (east coast swing, international waltz) burlesque & contemporary dance. The beginning of 2016 brought Brazilian Zouk into her life and she has been an addict ever since! Combining the dynamic, magical forces of acrobatics and Brazilian dance is something she has been elated and inspired in exploring.

                         

She is honored to have found the path of transformation from athlete to artist through the art of circus. She feels strongly about her purpose of sharing the importance of taking care of, pushing & maintaining our temple and the relevant connection of body to mind & spirit. She feels more comfortable upside down than right side up, believes laughter is the ultimate medicine, & swears by the healing magical methods of chocolate. You will usually find her sneaking pieces into her mouth in between handstands. You’re never too old to play!

Ari has explored the realms of sexual healing therapy and education through a plethora of avenues and finds great joy in helping others discover their bliss. Look out for her tantra yoga retreat on the beautiful island of Maui, Hawaii at the end of 2018.
