I don't think I'll ever get tired of exploring and playing with spins in hair suspension. Each session brings new discoveries about balance and momentum.
This is a work in progress, but I'm very proud and happy with it. Hair hanging is a long journey of building strength and trust in your body and preparation.

About Hair Suspension: A Rare Discipline
Hair suspension is as much about mental calm as it is about physical technique. We start by focusing on scalp preparation and rigging safety, ensuring you understand the mechanics before we ever leave the ground. It is a slow, deliberate journey to build the necessary tolerance and strength, not something you rush into on day one.
Understanding the Discipline
Hair suspension is one of the most misunderstood aerial arts. It is not just about the spectacle of hanging by your hair; it is a profound exercise in trust, body awareness, and physics. When we are suspended, every movement is amplified, and the margin for error is small, which is why safety and rigging theory are the non-negotiable foundations of my classes.
My Approach to Training
I spend significant time on proper braiding techniques and scalp conditioning. If your foundation isn't solid, you cannot find the freedom of the spin. We move through anatomy, knot-tying, and equipment care before you ever attempt a hanging maneuver.
Whether you are training with me at The Boulderbox in Vasant Kunj or Grip&Grab in Saket, we treat every session as a 'work in progress.' We focus on the quality of your rotation and the stability of your posture. You do not need to be an expert to start, but you do need patience.
Is It For You?
It is a meditative experience. Once you find that balance point, the world slows down. If you are curious about the mechanics or want to explore this unique discipline in Delhi, let's talk about how to start safely. We work on conditioning, choreography, and the subtle art of spinning without tension. Come prepared to learn the rigging as thoroughly as the performance.
