Om Factory NYC - New York, New York

Absolutely love OM and the community that surrounds it. I started taking classes here a little over 6 months ago and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The instructors are phenomenal. You can tell they all have a true passion for aerial and helping others grow in their own space. Definitely took my love of aerial to the next level- so much that I completed their Fall 2024 teacher training. Highly recommend!

I never believed I could start Aerial Arts at 58 years old, but the people at OM Factory, both instructors and students, were so encouraging and supportive, enabling me to do things with my body I never thought possible. Now 9 years later at 67 years old, I continue to grow stronger and learn new things. All of the instructors are great but Amanda McDonald is truly an extraordinary teacher. The perfect blend of accepting everyone where they are and skillfully and safely pushing them further. I can't recommend this place highly enough for aspiring aerialists of all levels, ages and body types.

I’ve had a class with both Janie and Austin and have had an amazing experience! I am brand new to anything aerial, but the instructors are incredibly welcoming and make it a lot of fun to learn. Highly recommend coming here if trying aerial.

I took the level 1 aerial yoga class with ting ting and it was so fun. It was my first time doing aerial yoga. Instructor was super super helpful and would go around the room in case anyone needed help. If you're looking for a fun way to move your body this is it.

I’ve been training here for a decade! It’s always been my family spot and I’ve enjoyed all the classes I’ve taken. I mostly do open training these days, and the staff is very helpful, setting up the equipment for me and putting it away…as a self-employed mom it’s so nice to show up in a helpful, caring environment and get some time for myself every week. I’m sure I’ll be coming back for a long time. The location is very convenient for me, too. ❤️

I signed up for the Starter Pack special offer, which is 4 classes for $100. Each class that I tried had a different instructor, which allowed me to experience different styles of teaching. All of the classes were level 1, and none of them were like the one before, meaning that each class incorporated a different series of moves.

I had attended four classes elsewhere, but I’m definitely still very much a beginner, so I appreciated that the instructors were patient and kind with their guidance. The stand-out class for me was led by Maisah, who is wonderful. She focused on pragmatic safety tips with a fun sense of humor that immediately put me at ease. I definitely saw an increase in my confidence (and maybe even my strength) during my time there.

I will say that at the previous studio I practiced at, the instructors were really intentional about the music, using playlists that led us though the class, and created an immersive experience. Here though, the music wasn’t prioritized, so that is potentially something they could think about doing differently in the future. Also I wished we could have had more time for the shavasana in the hammocks, as that would have allowed for deeper relaxation. On the plus side, every class concluded with 5 minutes of photo time, so you could take pictures in the silks.

If you’re contemplating aerial yoga, I recommend you give it a try, as you’ll be surprised what your body is capable of!

Om is not just an aerial studio, it's a community! The classes are aptly described in terms of difficulty and skills required and I'd recommend this studio to beginners and advanced students alike.
