Exciting news…Flight Room + Chrysalis Aerial Movement
We are thrilled to share that beginning January 1, 2026, our Lower Queen Anne and Ballard studios will officially transition to Chrysalis Aerial Movement, led by our current studio manager and Flight Room community member, JoAnn Burrett.
Chrysalis will continue offering the same high-quality aerial yoga, movement classes, and community you’ve come to love — with the same teachers, same class styles, and the same inclusive, welcoming environment.
Meanwhile, Flight Room will continue to operate our Green Lake and Central District studios with all the classes, programs, and instructors you already know.
Together, both studios will collaborate closely to support our community and continue expanding aerial movement opportunities across Seattle.
What This Means for Current Members & Pack Holders
We are committed to making this transition as seamless as possible for our members! If you have an active membership or class pack, you should have received a separate email message on 11/18 outlining how your plan or pass will be handled moving forward. Didn’t receive it? Just shoot Jen an email at jen@flightroomseattle.com and she’d be happy to forward it to you.
What to Expect in January
Chrysalis will continue offering your favorite teachers, classes, and formats, along with creative additions as JoAnn develops her vision. At Flight Room, we are focusing even more deeply on programs, events, and community experiences at CD and GL in the new year .
We are genuinely excited for this next chapter and confident it will strengthen and expand our aerial movement community.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are the studios transitioning?
We’ll be honest with you! Jen & Tim (Flight Room owners) learned that operating four studios was just too much logistically. It’s important to us to be able to give all students, teachers and the physical spaces the hands-on care that they need. By bringing on a new owner for LQA & Ballard, we are excited to be able to offer so much more to our community.
will green lake and CD be sold too?
Nope! We are very much looking forward to making the Flight Room experience even better at these two locations.
what about bellevue??
It is likely (see aforementioned logistics overwhelm 😂) that the Flight Room brand will continue to grow under an affiliate model, like the Chrysalis transition. If you’re interested in starting your own aerial yoga studio on the Eastside (or elsewhere!) and would like to explore an affiliate partnership with Flight Room, please reach out to Jen at jen@flightroomseattle.com and she’d be happy to chat.
Will my teachers be changing?
Beyond the usual adjustments for a new quarter (minor changes due to instructor availability, slight format tweaks due to attendance, etc.), the schedules at all studios will remain the same. Our LQA & Ballard teachers are SUPER excited to continue to move with you at Chrysalis in the New Year. As soon as the January 2026 schedule is finalized, we’ll email our current students with a link to both Flight Room and Chrysalis schedules.
Will I still be able to visit all four studios?
Yes! It is absolutely a priority for us to continue to offer access to all studios as an option. If you’re a Flight Room member, you will qualify for discounted visits at Chrysalis and vice versa. Any prepaid all-studio memberships and class packs will receive access at all four locations through the plan’s expiration.
Again, if you’re a current member, you should have an email from us with details about your specific plan and how to access all studios starting in January. Let us know if you’d like us to resend!
will annual memberships be offered in january like usual?
Yes! Annual memberships will be sold through both Flight Room and Chrysalis in January. In fact, we have some extra special bonuses re: annual memberships that will be available through our Black Friday sale. Sign-up here for early access: https://www.flightroomseattle.com/black-friday-early.
do i need to download a new app for chrysalis?
Nope! Chrysalis will also use Walla and you’ll be able to log-in with your Flight Room email and password. All plan transitions will be handled on the backend and you don’t need to take action unless your email said otherwise.
Who do I contact for support?
Please email Flight Room owner, Jen, directly at jen@flightroomseattle.com.
From JoAnn
My journey to this moment began in June 2023. After years of living with low back pain and knowing I needed movement back in my life, I went searching for something gentle, nourishing, and zero-impact. I tried many ideas, wandered down many paths—and then I discovered Flight Room.
From my very first Flight Foundations Workshop with Patty, I was hooked. Aerial yoga not only supported my body in ways I didn’t expect, it opened a door to freedom, joy, and a deep personal transformation. Attending the Dominican Republic retreat reawakened my soul, and the opportunity to join the Flight Room staff shortly after felt like the universe nudging me toward a new chapter. I wanted to be more a part of this community, this practice, and this movement that had already changed my life.
Today, I am thrilled to share the next evolution of that journey.
I am relaunching the Ballard and Lower Queen Anne studios under a new name: Chrysalis Aerial Movement The chrysalis symbolizes so much of what this past year has meant for me—rest, renewal, and the courage to transform. In the hammock, savasana feels like resting within a cocoon, suspended, supported, and safe. My vision for our new logo—a half-chrysalis with a butterfly wing emerging—captures the essence of metamorphosis, flight, and the movement that carries us forward.
As we enter this new phase, my heart is full. Flight Room has given me community, belonging, and space to grow into myself. Now, I’m honored to spread my wings and lead Ballard and Lower Queen Anne into their next chapter.
Chrysalis Aerial Movement will continue to bring joy, positivity, and the transformative power of movement to our staff, students, and all who step into our space.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
The best is yet to come—and we’re ready to take flight together. 🦋
