About Us
Hi, I'm Edel
{Flying Fantastic} Founder
Â
Edel makes no secret of the fact that she discovered aerial completely by accident, a fortuitous stumble into a silks class that changed the course of her life! With a background in Irish dancing, upper body strength wasn’t her forte when she started silks classes in Argentina, but she quickly became captivated and converted!
It is also safe to say that Edel doesn’t aspire to be aerial performer. For her, Aerial represents strength and empowerment and Flying Fantastic was set up to get make it possible for people to try aerial, especially those that doubt they will ever be able to lift themselves off the ground!
With a background in Primary Teaching, Edel set up the Flying Fantastic Youth programme which offers classes for children from 2 to 16. She is always looking for ways to make aerial accessible to new people and the Aerial Yoga sling is an incredibly versatile way to be able to do this. She uses it to get little people moving in a 'Mini-Flyers' class and also runs an 'Open Aerial' programme which offers Aerial Yoga to young adults with learning difficulties, children with SEN and more, wheelchair users, adults registered blind and everyone else that shows an interest!

Why Flying Fantastic?
Â
Flying Fantastic was set up in 2011 with the aim of getting London flying. We strive to offer our customers the best and widest range of aerial classes possible. Taught by the best teachers we can find.
Kiss goodbye to long, inflexible and expensive courses with punchy sign up fees and onward payments required. Instead, say hello to flexible class schedules built around busy Londoners' timetables. If it's flexibility you're after, you've come to the right place. It's part of our DNA.Â
