Gazelle is a foundational shape that comes up again and again throughout our curriculum. Gazelle in the Knot is the first variation that we teach, in our beginner level aerial silk classes.
When we teach Gazelle in the Knot we’re focused on building a strong foundation of knee hook and arched body support. As this shape comes up later in more advanced skills like Same Side Cruficix, Push Me Pull You Gazelle, and a variety of inverted supports, we want our students to have a strong foundation of understanding so their body can be both engaged and extended at the same time.
