Training will start with the basic aerial hammock positions. Then we'll apply those positions to the asanas we know and love, and learn to plan smoothly run, inclusive class sequences.

Throughout, we’ll talk about (i) special features and challenges of teaching aerial yoga; (ii) how to demo while also making yourself available to students; and (iii) how to serve students of varying abilities.

For the most part, I want you to enjoy being a student and absorb the information. But I’m sure you all have useful experience and perspective to add, so I selected a few sections for group discussion (italicized below).

All physical practice is optional. A manual with photo examples of asanas in the hammock will be provided.
