Izzy Ton
Izzy is an aerialist, choreographer, personal trainer and coach. She signed up for her first aerial yoga class on a whim in 2019 during a personally challenging time. Little did she know that it would be one of the answers to heal; reconnecting her mind, body, and heart. She fell in love with aerial arts, quit her corporate job of 9 years, and never looked back.
She loves to support people in their journey of developing physical, emotional, and mental strength, working through fear in a safe environment. She invites her students to come as they are and to meet their body where they’re at with loving acceptance. Her classes encourage each student to develop their creativity & movement style with a sense of play & curiosity. Her style of teaching is empathetic, kind, warm, and silly.
She currently teaches Aerial Dance at OMFactory in NYC and has performed at venues such as The Slipper Room & The Red Pavilion, creating acts that connect & captivate audiences.
Certifications: 200-Hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training (VYTT), 50-Hour Aerial Yoga Teacher Training (AYTT) & 16-Hour Advanced AYTT, Certified NASM Personal Trainer, Certified Mindfulness Coach.
Tingting Huang
Tingting is a NYC based aerialist. She has always been passionate about movement. In school, she did rhythmic gymnastics, dance, and mat yoga. Years later, when she was trying to find herself in motherhood, she discovered aerial arts. The rest is history.
She currently teaches aerial yoga and aerial hoop at Om Factory and Crunch and has performed at public and private venues in NYC. When she’s not teaching, you can find her training (struggling) at straps and snowboarding on the slopes.
Tingting believes that aerial is for everyone. Aerial has brought her so much joy. She feels humbled and grateful to be able to share that joy with her students.

What People Are Saying:
“I had the absolute best time on this retreat with Izzy and TingTing! This was my first retreat and I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it passed every expectation and is a time I’ll never forget. Learning from these two is such a treat and I have seen so much growth in such a small time with them. Not only are they great instructors, but great people to be around. So many great memories made and I can’t wait to make more. Casa Chango was also a dream from the location, to the pool, to the food, to the amazing gym space.” -by Lexy B.
