Every once in a while, a teacher comes along who changes your brain chemistry — for me, that was Angela.

From the moment I stepped into her class, I felt seen, encouraged, and completely safe to explore a side of myself I didn’t even know I was missing. Angela brings the kind of energy that lights up a room — positive, grounded, and genuinely empowering. She celebrates every small win and somehow knows exactly when to push you and when to let you find your own flow.

Her classes have not only transformed me physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. I’ve gained strength, confidence, and a deeper connection to my body — all while having an absolute blast.

Pole started as just a workout, but with Angela’s guidance, it became a form of self-expression, healing, and joy. I leave every class a little taller (and not just from the heels!). If you to take a class with her, you’ll understand what I mean.

Signed up for an Aerial Restorative Yoga class on a whim with some friends, and oh man
Am I glad I did! The class was so relaxing and had the deep stretches that I have been looking for from more of a yin style class. And even just sitting in the aerial hammock will make you feel like a kid again. The owner, Angela, is a delight and such a wonderful instructor - a calming, soothing presence.

Definitely recommend!

As a cynical Virgo, I initially didn’t expect much from this place but boy was I wrong. The owner, Angela, is such an amazing human. She’s all about empowerment and brings out the confidence in the women/men around her. I really enjoyed the dance sessions and getting in tune with my body, soul and sexuality. The dances and meditation sessions activated my sacral chakra and truly renewed my energy. I’ll definitely be back once my schedule becomes less hectic!

I really love it here! From day one, everyone at Shakti Rising has been very sweet and kind with open arms. It's a bit of a drive for me, but I find it worth coming in each week to decompress at Aerial Yoga on Fridays. I started as a complete beginner with absolutely zero silk/hammock experience, and Angela has been super supportive and helpful with beginner guidance. I'm a relatively reserved person in search of some fresh air and positive energy within myself, and Shakti Rising truly empowers that.

From day one I’ve had nothing but an incredible journey with the Shakti Rising crew! I was searching for a way to boost my confidence after a wild breakup and at every opportunity they were there to support me, encourage me and praise or compliment me helping me to triumph over what very easily could have been the biggest hardship in my life… no where else out of my life as a dancer have I been met with such supportive and genuinely caring people from students and instructors alike I am thoroughly impressed! If you are considering checking them out definitely do it, you might just end up loving yourself a little bit more as a result 🥰

The Shakti Rising is so much more than a dance studio - it’s more like a family! Everything is amazing - the classes, the instructors and staff, the members, the variety of choices and new things to try, the positivity and their genuine care. It has been such a positive influence in my life and has transformed me physically, mentally and spiritually. I can’t recommend them enough!

I’ve been going to the studio since June 2021 and I absolutely love the instructors and positive vibes whenever I am there. There is a good variety of different classes you can take, and all the staff have been extremely helpful and encouraging, would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to bring out their inner goddess.

I was so over the typical gym. I needed something new. Facebook must've been listening to my thoughts again because they advertised pole classes to me. I bit the bullet and tried an intro class. I was hooked. I can't say enough good things about Aradia. Neelum is just the sweetest, every instructor puts their heart and soul and individual flair into everything they do and everyone is so supportive of one another. The classes are FUN!!! Just Try it. You'll leave feeling sexy.

I have been going to Aradia for a few years and love it every time I enter the studio, Neelam is such an amazing instructor and really takes her time with each individual who enters her studio. No matter if it is your first class or 100th class she will treat everyone with love and respect. I have taken a variety of classes and every instructor I have had are all amazing people. I love being able to take classes and enter such a welcoming environment. There is absolutely no judgment only a friendly place to have fun! I look forward to taking more classes at their Loudoun and Sterling location :) Highly Recommend for all people!

Made 3 attempts all in different times (months). Last attempt was a few weeks ago regarding their showcase. Nothing.... I commented on their site once before how amazing their classes look, and mentioned I wanted to try but timid. As a bussiness, you would think this would be a selling point and a light bulb will go off.They didn't even try. All I got was maybe an emoji and an I'm sorry. Wow! How is this encouraging. How non skinny woman feel encouraged to go, get out of their comfort zone and go!!! Sucks cause I wanted to try them out so bad but due to poor customer service, I'll take my self elsewhere. Now, I'm glad I didnt, cause it shows lack of support. If I have to chase someone down multiple times, they obviously don't care.

Beautiful new studio in Sterling. Hosted a private party and the instructor was very nice, clear and easy to follow. Neema was excellent with coordination and communication. They honored my requests for type of music and style of dance. So greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this place!

My daughter recently had an aerial hoop (lyra) private lesson at Aradia Fitness. Neelam responded quickly to any questions I had and was very accommodating when setting up the lesson. The instructor, Kelly, was excellent. She was very clear and patient when explaining the technique and made my daughter feel very comfortable. What a wonderful experience. We will definitely be returning.

This is seriously as good as it gets! The studio is beautiful and full of magic and the instructors are so much fun and very knowledgeable in what they teach. Neelam, the studio owner, is a gem! She has such a way of making everyone feel comfortable and welcomed! If your new to pole or to yoga I highly recommend Aradia Fitness! I cannot say enough good things about this studio! Thank you Neelam and all of her instructors for making this place is pure magic!

I encountered aradia fitness through a Groupon deal which allowed me to take unlimited intro to aerial yoga or intro to Pole for 2 weeks. I decided to choose aerial yoga and mind you, I've never had any experience with aerial yoga but had strength training and yoga experience. I would say before you buy the groupon or living social deal, call the fitness studio to see what type of promotions they have going on. Some times what they offer for new members are even better than what groupon advertises!

4 classes in, I was amazed at what I could do . Neelam and Tabitha are wonderful instructors and I really wished I would have taken more classes with them. Aerial yoga is a great stretch for those who work out and have tight kinks in their body. My lower back felt so much better after attending their courses and you feel really refreshed. Neelam does a great job to attend those who just started and each introductory classes introduces a different stretch so you are doing a variation of things rather than repeating the same exercises each class. I will be returning soon once Spring break comes! Thanks Aradia!

I have been taking pole classes at Aradia -Ashburn for almost two years. Neelam is my teacher since the beginning. She put my lack of confidence at rest with her extraordinary friendliness, expertise and teaching skills. Her enthusiasm and passion for pole fitness is contagious! I am looking forward to each class! Excellent medicine for my head, body and soul! I am having more fun than ever while getting fit, toned and confident! I without hesitation highly recommend the studio!

I visited for an Open House on April 29 and fell in love with Aerial Yoga. I've been going for about 5 weeks and I can't get enough! I have suffered from back/neck/shoulder issues for years (scoliosis and then a roll over car accident), and to be honest, in some ways, the stretching and strengthening is quite similar to my physical therapy exercises, only ramped up to the max and WAY more fun!

I've worked with numerous instructors now and each one has her own style and flow, and I appreciate each of them for the different things they offer! Neelam is a precious woman whom I admire and respect. Her classes are very stretchy in all the right ways. I leave feeling refreshed and peaceful... She has a very calming and energizing spirit.

Kelly's Fitness Fusion classes add some conditioning and she comes at it from a performance perspective which is different because you learn how to do moves and transitions from a somewhat visual perspective (having a hard time describing it!). I am in awe of what she can do!

And this week I made it to an intermediate class with Tabitha. Wow! It. Was. Challenging. And I loved it! I struggled with some moves and find myself saying crazy things, like, "this makes me want to go do crunches so I can be strong enough to do this!" Me - crunches! I'm not even kidding! I'm so glad I tried Tabitha's class and can't wait for next Tuesday!

I also enjoyed Beth's beginner class. I like that she took the time to see where I was with my progressions (it was my first class with her). She saw some of the moves I was struggling with and offered suggestions and different methods to accomplish them - I improved on a couple moves with her coaching and learned some new moves, too. While we were in Shavasana she shared an inspirational reading... Really lovely!

And I should mention, not only are the instructors great, but so are the other students who are all welcoming, encouraging, helpful, and just awesome all around. Yeah, Aradia Fitness has it going on.

I plan to try a pole fitness class soon, but I can't imagine loving it more than Aerial Yoga. Stay tuned...

Went here with my fiancée about a month ago as part of their Groupon deal for the Aerial Yoga class and we had an awesome time! We had previous yoga experience, but not with regular practice. The owner/instructor worked with and guided us through the routine and helped us to find comfortable positions as well as challenged us to push ourselves. I would recommend this business to anyone interested in trying out Aerial Yoga.

If you want to learn pole dancing then Aradia Fitness is the place to go! I intended to try my hands at pole dance for quite some time, but was rather scared to take the plunge. With the very amazing instructor Neelam around, I felt completely comfortable, and in control to try and fail and learn this intricate art.
This place has become a perfect outlet for me and always motivates me to workout in a fun and sexy way. The 60 minutes I spend here are motivating, energizing and totally fun filled.

Do check this place out!

I took an introductory Aerial Yoga class at Aradia Fitnesse and have to say that it was an amazing experience. The zest and the enthusiasm of the trainers was simply enthralling. Loved every bit of that adrenaline pumping, fun filled 60 minutes of that pure ecstatic routine. Would definitely like to take it up regularly. Two thumbs up, highly recommended!

I went for a month and it was so much fun! The instructors were amazing and super friendly. They care about making sure your getting all you can from the classes and will try to work with your schedule. Due to my work schedule, I'll be taking a month off but I definitely plan to come back.

Nice, clean and beautiful Studio. Went there for Aerial Yoga. Excellent Instructors. Felt right at home. Studio is ideally located in professional park with ample parking. Found it to be the only place in Ashburn offering Aerial Yoga. Fees are very reasonable.
