ABOUT

In our aerial yoga teacher trainings, students will learn the foundations required to teach a yoga class using the aerial silk as a prop, including: balancing, strength, conditioning, flexibility and inversion asanas and sequencing. Students will also learn how to incorporate more intermediate asanas, transitions and inversions.

We will break down the core foundations and principles of aerial yoga including how to structure a class, transitioning in and out of the core asanas, how to offer modifications, as well as how to spot and offer assistance to your students. Each student will also be given time to practice teach a class to their peers during training. 

You will learn:

• Various benefits and contraindications for aerial yoga practice

• How to cue poses and transitions safely and clearly

• Modifications as well as progressions for students of varying levels

• How to identify and adjust common aerial misalignments to ensure students' safety

• To lead centering at beginning of class and savasana at the end
