Float, flip, and find your flow in Pāhoa. Silks with Ellen is the weekly mixed‑level ritual (ages 7+) that turns Sundays into circus magic—this week meets Monday.
The Hook

Ever felt that first whoosh when silk wraps your waist and the world goes quiet? The palms sway, keiki giggle, and you’re a few feet closer to the stars. This is your weekly ritual on the Big Island: Silks with Ellen | Mixed Level. Show up any week, grow at your pace, and make SPACE in Pāhoa your aerial home.
Heads up: this listing is for Monday, June 8 at 5:00 PM. The regular groove runs Sundays at 5:00 PM.
What to Expect
Warm sun on the mats, cool Puna breezes, and bright fabric rippling like ocean swells. You’ll learn climbs, foot locks, inversions, and flow on both silks and sling. Beginners get clear, bite‑size progressions. Returning flyers work higher skills and combos. Expect safe spotting, mats, and a super supportive ʻohana vibe. Between drills you’ll hear laughter and gentle coaching. You’ll leave chalk‑dusted, a little sore, and very proud.
