Ever wondered what it would feel like to literally stand on the shoulders of somebody else? Or even pulling off the iconic lift from Dirty Dancing? Well, it's way more achievable than you might imagine!
This term will give you confidence in your body, your natural untapped acrobatic ability, the ability to move with more lightness, and a space to make friends and have the craic in a relaxed and playful atmosphere.
Your body has heaps of natural strength without any pre-training required. You'll discover, through working with different people throughout the term, the power of alignment and timing that allows you to achieve incredible things you never thought possible!
These classes are open level, which translates to plenty of progressions, variations, solid safety in the form of spotting, mats and a lunge belt, and a consideration for every individual student that attends, their possible injuries and abilities.
So, as these classes are made for everyone, we really encourage you to listen to the impulse that convinced you to read this far and book now
The classes start with a group warm up with a focus on fun and socialising, some conditioning, mobility and body awareness exercises.
This is followed by the main skills-based segment of the class, where we work towards a certain pose/s or sequence and break things down so you can build them up, going as far as feels like the right amount of challenge for you.
Classes will conclude with some time to cool the body down, regulate the nervous system for a good night's sleep and integration of all you've learned

Petrassi is an adventurous movement practitioner who has been exploring different movement practises since he was a teenager. Coming from a background of Parcour and Yoga, he discovered AcroYoga in 2014 which felt like the perfect synthesis of the elements he loved from both practices.
He has been teaching regular AcroYoga classes in Cork City since the beginning of 2022, building up to four weekly classes. He was featured on RTÉ's Today Show in late 2022 for his classes, launched his own website in the beginning of 2023, and was the co-founder of the highly successful West Cork Flow Festival 2021 & 2022, whose mixed movement mash-up was a driving force behind his motivation for opening his own mixed movement studio, Free Flow Studios.
Now more than ever he has a passion for bringing people together and reminding them of the power of connection and community.
Circus Factory has professionally installed aerial rigging and all equipment and hardware undergoes regular inspection. All equipment is rigged at a low accessible level with professional landing mats mandatory for practice training. Our aerial Coaches are experienced aerial artists and have a high level of previous teaching experience. All classes are conducted with Covid 19 protocols in place.
The circus factory is such a fantastic place with amazing tutors. There is never any pressure to go higher or do anything I'm uncomfortable with but I still always find myself pushing my boundaries from the support and enthusiasm of Brenda and the students. Couldn't ask for a better environment to see what I'm capable of or better people to share a passion with.
“Finding circus was such a life changing thing for me, in it I found not just a physical outlet, something that had been lacking in my adult life but also a creative outlet, a place to be inspired and explore my crazy ideas”
“Brilliant venue. great for learning circus skills with lovely teachers”
The Circus factory is like a big playground where creative people play and work with each other and learn from one another. Exploring new movements is one of the most beautiful ways to entertain your inner child.
The equipment in CF is always improved/ updated and above all when it comes to aerial rigging/equipment it's regulated & safe. Knowing you can train on apparatus that is rigged well and checked regularly means a lot”
“The best place in Cork to get fit and push your limits while having a lot of fun.”
“Circus Factory has been an amazing organisation and community to get to know. By learning skills I never thought I could manage, It has helped me develop confidence not just as an artist but in my everyday life as well”,
