The instructors at Airealistic Circus & Flying know a thing or two about gravity, having defied it on behalf of Cirque de Soleil, De La Guarda, and Franco Dragone productions. For example, program director Carmen Curtis uses a foundation in gymnastics to elevate her cirque routines, which she showcases as a member of Airealistic Theater Company. These experiences grant her the expertise to lead her aerial classes, which are taught alongside gymanstics and yoga classes. Whether teaching family circus or acroyoga classes, all staff members prioritize safety as they introduce kids and adults to aerial apparatuses.

In addition to gymnastics, booty bar, and Vinyasa yoga sessions, the trainers teach high-flying techniques on trampolines, trapezes, aerial silks, harnesses, and hoops, believing that one's choice of equipment reflects his or her own unique character. Their aerial and acro-yoga variations also encourage students to test their notions about human flight in a noncompetitive setting. Each class incorporates a fitness component into its exhilarating routine, and the schedule includes classes at all times of day.

California board-certified acupuncturist and clinical Chinese herbalist Jennifer Rose assists her patients with such concerns as pain management, digestion, and sleeping difficulties. Before commencing any service, she conducts a consultation with the patient to ensure the chosen treatment, whether it be acupuncture, cupping, or moxibustion, is appropriate. She assesses the individual’s medical history, answers any questions, and ascertains goals for the treatment. Rose also offers nutritional and herbal counseling, and she teaches people how to meditate and breathe properly through all six orifices.

It's not his fondness for tennis, golf, or the Lakers that makes Radiant Wellness's Brian Ghessi stand out among the other chiropractors in town. Rather, he distinguishes himself with his advanced certification in Network Spinal Analysis. One of the only practitioners of this methodology in the Santa Clarita–Valencia area, Dr. Ghessi uses his unique training to relieve tension plaguing overstretched spinal cords. During adjustment sessions, he observes the patient's muscles and breathing patterns, then uses gentle pressure to dissolve pockets of stress and their jabbing car keys. His sessions work to offer relief from pain, anxiety, and fatigue without the use of drugs or surgery.

After graduating with a degree in dental surgery, Dr. Kaslow started flexing his cosmetic- and general-dental muscles by practicing privately in 1988.

With orchids in its windows, sculptures in its corridors, and a spacious waiting room with a marble-topped reception desk that overlooks plush couches, Agoura Advanced Dentistry looks exactly like a spa. And yet it’s the place where Dr. Kam Kamangar performs root canals, crafts veneers, and removes teeth stains caused by drinking coffee and smooching octopi. Inside treatment rooms, patients zone out while staring at the sun-soaked hills and trees.
