CORE MODULES  

STRENGTHEN Rediscover the foundations of yoga with the aid of a truly versatile prop. Learn to use the aerial hammock at a lower height to break down classic asana alignment. Create a safe, sacred space where students of all levels can refine their core/back connection.

STRETCH Structure and sequence your Aerial Yoga class in a way that supports a strong core connection that supports safe stretching. Guide participants through deeper stretches than they may be able to accomplish in their normal mat practice. There are no ‘set sequences’ or hard and fast rules in an Aerial Yoga Houston class — we provide the tools and trust you to develop your own style based on your experience and intuition.

FLY Swing, soar, flip and fly! Teach students to (safely) flirt with the thrills of inverted asanas. As a burgeoning teacher, you’ll begin to fully embody basic to intermediate aerial hammock skills, taking away a thorough understanding of how to translate their intricacies to students from all walks of life.

Additional Modules Include

The Aerial Hammock How to properly rig, adjust and care for your hammock and all its components. Common hammock heights, fabric placements, Aerial Yoga terminology and general guidelines for moving with your fabric.

Principles of Aerial Yoga Pose grouping, benefits of poses, learn the cornerstones that Aerial Yoga Houston is built on to safe movement.

Aerial Yoga Safety, Benefits and Contraindications Understand why certain conditions mean some students are better off staying grounded.

Transitions Aerial Yoga class formats, structure and sequencing. How to teach complete newcomers to Aerial Yoga; how to teach specialty populations; how to challenge your students without scaring them away.
