Minda began her aerial training in 2004. Having been a gymnast growing up, it was a similar art that not only trains the body but is exhilarating and fun.  She began on silks and found each apparatus after to be another great challenge and opportunity to learn. She has performed at private and public functions in the air and as part of ground acts. Minda loves teaching and believes in constantly learning more about the body and aerial to bring the best and most current knowledge to her students.
