Wakeful Ascent Aerial Arts
Bishop, California | Payahuunadü
Welcome to Wakeful Ascent Aerial Arts! I’m Sara Kaiser, founder and instructor. I am so honored to have opened Bishop California’s premier aerial arts studio in 2022 after teaching in local spaces for four years.
Our community is fun-loving, friendly, and encouraging – we’ve cocreated a culture of support, play, empowerment, creativity, and continual personal growth.
Aerial arts change lives – they changed mine, and I’ve watched so many others transform through the journey of learning to fly.
