THE FLY WITH GRACE JOURNEY

GRACE HANA PARK

Founder | Owner | Lead Teacher

Hi, I’m Grace!

I grew up in the Chicago suburbs with two older brothers and Korean immigrant parents. After graduating from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with a degree in Chemistry, I followed my intuition and moved to Seoul, South Korea, where I taught English at a Korean public elementary school. That leap changed my life. It was in Korea that I discovered two of the greatest gifts in my life: my husband and aerial yoga.

Today, I serve the Greater Austin area and the global online aerial community, offering clear, detailed, and intentional teaching rooted in love and grace.

Thank you to all my past, present, and future students for allowing me to share my passion with you.

HOW IT BEGAN

Discovering Aerial Yoga in South Korea

I took my first class in April 2014, and the rest is history. Before long, I was the girl at the studio taking two to three classes a day.

With my husband’s unwavering support, I boarded a flight to Rishikesh, India, to join my first 200-hour YTT program in October 2016.

Once I returned, I began teaching immediately. For two years, I rented a studio every weekend to lead classes for foreigners living in Korea, while also teaching yoga to adults and kids aerial yoga in Korean!

HOW IT EVOLVED

FWG Method is Born

In June 2018, life took us to San Diego, where I continued teaching and officially became certified in Aerial Yoga & Kids Aerial Yoga. Less than a year later, life shifted again, and we moved to Austin, Texas. There, I began teaching at two studios, often leading up to six classes a day while maintaining a strong & dedicated self-practice.

In 2019, I felt another pull to keep growing, and it led me to India again. I traveled to Mysore for my 300-hour YTT, continuing to follow the path that has always called me.

Those years shaped me deeply. Through teaching so many students, I was able to observe recurring patterns, refine my eye as a teacher, and write my teacher training manuals so that this knowledge could be preserved and passed on.

WHERE IT IS TODAY

Today, I am grateful to work closely with my students, supporting their growth with care, clarity, and intention. Hearing them say, “This is the best part of my week,” continues to touch my heart every time. In addition, I lead workshops for Continuing Education hours for Yoga Alliance and I am proud to say that FWG has certified over 30 teachers who are currently spreading the magic of Aerial Yoga to others.

WHERE IT'S GOING

Growing locally and globally

One day, Fly With Grace will become a beautiful space where many can practice and elevate together. The vision is to continue growing both the local and online aerial community, making aerial yoga accessible to every body and bringing people from all walks of life together in loving and supportive community around the world.
