Aerial Essentials
Where safety begins.
If you want to teach your students in a safe, progressive and empowering method, Aerial Essentials Yoga Teacher Training is your essential starting point.
How does it work?
Each level is easily structured for a 3-day format, however, many facilities find it better for their audience to make each module 2-days. We offer this condensed format by request-- 2 days per module-- where students will learn all of the same information and techniques, incorporating experiential learning, regularly scheduled classes, posture clinics and workshops, and a practicum that allows students of all learning types to excel.
Aerial Essentials sets the foundation of safety, and will familiarize students with the fundamental wraps for teaching to introductory and beginner aerial students. Level 2 expands upon those fundamental wraps with posture variations appropriate for Introduction through intermediate students. This level also includes sequencing, alignment, and anatomy. Upon completion of Aerial Essentials, students will have the confidence and skills to begin teaching Introductory, Beginner, and even Intermediate-level classes to smaller groups. This Module qualifies certified yoga teachers to step into a pre-existing Aerial program at their studio.
*In order to receive certification, students must also complete 10 practicum hours teaching to small groups, and complete a final practicum teach successfully with review.
