Arcadia Cushman
Guiding bodies to float, and minds to rest.
Arcadia discovered the transformative power of aerial yoga during a challenging period in her own life, and has dedicated the last twelve years to sharing that discovery with others. Her approach blends the precision of classical yoga tradition with the playful freedom of movement in the air.
Born and raised in New Zealand, Arcadia trained extensively across studios in Auckland, Bali, and London before returning home to co-found Float Fitness — a space she envisioned as a sanctuary where people could leave the weight of their daily lives at the door.
Her classes are known for their unhurried pace, deeply attentive instruction, and the profound sense of ease students carry with them long after they've left the studio. Whether you're stepping onto the mat for the first time or deepening an established practice, Arcadia meets you exactly where you are.
Disciplines & Modalities
Aerial Yoga
Suspended sequences that decompress the spine, build strength, and cultivate a deep sense of trust in one's own body.
Floating Meditation
Guided stillness practices that harness the gentle motion of the hammock to quiet the nervous system and restore inner calm.
Restorative Flow
Slow, supported movement designed to release tension held in the body and encourage complete, healing rest.
Foundations Training
Patient, thorough instruction for complete beginners — building confidence, alignment, and a lasting love of movement.
Prenatal Aerial
Carefully adapted aerial sequences supporting mothers-to-be through all stages of pregnancy with safety and joy.
Breathwork
Ancient and contemporary breathing techniques woven into practice to expand lung capacity and anchor the mind.
"The hammock is not a prop — it's an invitation. An invitation to let go of effort, to discover that you are already held, and that from that place of being held, anything becomes possible."
