PETRA

Aerial Practitioner, Founder of Aerapy Method

About the Aerapist

Petra Hanson is a radical believer in aerial movement as medicine that makes you stand taller. Aerapy Method is her passion and brave second act. A former pop singer-in-Japan from New York City, Petra's been growing her aerial wings for over six years as a practice to heal, restore and align. But dance and movement have always lived deep in her DNA. Her mom ran The Lotte Berk studio in Manhattan (the original Barre Method) before becoming a guru of The Alexander Technique. Petra learned the power of gravity and alignment early on.

Her past grounds her present love for aerial movement and it’s calming effect on the body. In an era where slouching on phones for hours at a time is the norm, this feels like her calling—to help humans heal their bodies, age painlessly, and above all, experience the joy of flying fearlessly!
