Our story

We built the room that was missing.

Amani Aerials studio community

Meet Priscilla Idro

Founder, Amani Aerials

"I grew up between Uganda and the Netherlands. I've trained in aerial fitness in Europe for years and watched it transform the women in those studios — their confidence, their strength, the way they walked out of class different from how they walked in. That room didn't exist in Kampala. So I built it."

Why Kampala?

East Africa's wellness scene is growing fast. Young professional women, expats, and wellness-conscious Ugandans are actively looking for something beyond ordinary gyms.

Amani Aerials is the first dedicated aerial studio in the region — a first-mover space designed entirely around women.

What "Amani" means

"Amani" is Swahili for peace. The name is intentional. This isn't a competitive environment. It's a room where you learn to trust your body.

Peace with where you are today. Confidence in where you're going. Strength built one class at a time.

Training the next generation

We train young Ugandan women as instructors. They don't just work here — they become co-owners of the culture.

Every instructor who comes through Amani Aerials leaves with skills, certification, and a community that backs them.

The vision

Kampala is the pilot. Nairobi is phase two.

A circuit of aerial studios across East Africa, anchored by community and built by the women inside them. This is bigger than one studio. It's a movement.
