Art Flying Aerial is a family-owned and operated business that was born out of a passion for movement, creativity, and community. The journey began in 2012 when sisters Rubi and Yolanda Reyes opened Art Flying Yoga in Walteria, Torrance. As the demand for aerial arts, specifically Aerial Hammock & Silks, grew rapidly, they realized they needed more space to accommodate their expanding business.
In 2014, their brother Manuel, along with brothers Nick and Enrique, joined forces to open Art Flying Aerial in Lomita, providing an opportunity to further develop and expand their aerial offerings. The combination of their artistic talents, love for creative movement, and dedication to providing exceptional experiences laid the foundation for their thriving aerial studio.
In 2022, Art Flying Aerial opened another location in the Coachella Valley, specifically in Palm Desert City. Manuel, with his warm and welcoming presence, serves as the main point of contact, answering questions and ensuring that every individual feels valued and supported.
The artistic spirit runs deep in the Reyes family, with Nick, Enrique, and Manuel all being talented artists and painters. Their creative backgrounds infuse their approach to aerial arts, resulting in unique and visually captivating experiences for their students.
Rubi, a true visionary, leads the Aerial Programs and Teacher Trainings, sharing her extensive knowledge and expertise with aspiring aerialists. She also offers Thai Massage, providing a holistic approach to wellness and self-care.
Yolanda, on the other hand, brings her energy and passion to the Belly Dance and Zumba classes, infusing each session with joy and excitement. In addition to teaching aerial arts, she plays a pivotal role in creating a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere in the studio.
Their mother, the matriarch of the family, ensures harmony and a sense of home in the studio. You can often find her tending to the Outdoor Zen Garden or crafting beautiful jewelry that is sold in their in-house boutique.
Together, the Reyes family and their dedicated team are committed to creating a space where individuals can explore their artistic potential, find their inner strength, and build connections within a supportive community. At Art Flying Aerial, we invite you to join us on this creative journey, embracing the freedom and beauty of aerial arts.
