The Eastern Sierra's Premier Aerial Arts Program
Welcome to the sky! I’m Sara Kaiser. I first fell in love with aerial silks in 2015 and began my teaching journey in 2018.
I grew the aerial community in Bishop CA from scratch, founded and directed SILKStudio, the Eastern Sierra's premier aerial arts studio (now closed), and formally trained the first generation of aerial teachers in Bishop CA.
My expertise in aerial technique, anatomy, strength conditioning, and theory provide an outstanding educational experience for aerialists of all ages.
I bring a patient, playful approach to teaching, with a philosophy of student-centered teaching and collaborative learning. Private lessons now available by request.

"Wakeful Ascent Aerial Arts has brought so much joy to my life and to the Eastern Sierra. Sara offers an aerial program that prioritizes safe instruction, cultivates community, and inspires growth through artistry. Wakeful Ascent is for everyone - the beginner aerialist with no prior experience, the intermediate aerialist who is seeking to learn more, or the refined aerialist who is seeking high-level instruction, collaboration and inspiration. I feel a sense of renewal, as Sara has reawakened my passion for aerial silks and has begun to help me realize my own potential with this beautiful art form." -Caitlin W.
