Testimonials
" What my daughter typically learned in a semester at her other studio, she has learned in a month with. Mrs. Peggy. She teaches safety - I highly recommend her open sessions for strength workouts or classes."

Meet our team
Peggy Ployhar
Owner & Lead Instructor
Peggy Ployhar brings unmatched passion and expertise to Eternal Aerial Arts. As the founder and former CEO of SPED Homeschool, she spent years serving families across the globe by equipping and empowering parents of children with learning differences. A nationally recognized speaker and host of the Empowering Homeschool Conversations podcast, Peggy stepped away from her leadership role in the summer of 2025 to fully dedicate her time to the studio and the community she and her husband, Doug, love so deeply.
Peggy began her aerial journey at age 48 and has trained nearly every day since—except during a courageous six-month battle with breast cancer in 2020. Now an advanced-level aerialist and Aerialympics judge, she continues to teach, perform, and inspire students of all ages and abilities.
With a background as a college cheerleader and head coach of Minnesota’s largest high school cheer program, Peggy brings decades of movement, coaching, and leadership experience to her role. She and Doug, who homeschooled their children through 19 years of unique challenges, have created a studio rooted in faith, love, and perseverance. Eternal Aerial Arts is the fruit of that calling—a welcoming space where every student is seen, supported, and given the chance to rise.
