Having created 3 thriving studios of her own, and with over a decade of teaching experience, Heather Diamond brings insight and expertise to those hoping to unify their existing aerial program, as well as to those hoping to bring a new aerial program to their space.

Heather developed VaihAyasa Aerial Yoga over 8 years ago with the desire to bring together her affinity for more playful aerial yoga and her love of a more grounding "yogic" aerial practice. The VaihAyasa form of aerial yoga utilizes the hammock for the entire practice while creating grounding through yogic breath and focus-- the result is a delicious practice that allows practitioners to sink into movement with ease, deepen stretches, find proper alignment naturally, and reap the benefits of inversions without strain on the joints of the body.

As aerial has grown in popularity, Heather has also witnessed the distinct need for enhanced safety in classes. Wanting for teachers to come out of an Aerial Yoga Teacher Training with the proper foundation to begin teaching groups of all sizes and experience levels, she has developed an intensive program that brings the most comprehensive AYTT to studios wishing to offer aerial yoga at their facility in a progressive and safe way. As a recognized Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider, she offers a foundational AYTT 50 hr certification, as well as an Advanced Techniques 100 hr certification. Heather also offers a Master Training certification that allows experienced instructors to begin leading their own VaihAyasa-based AYTTS. She is passionate about helping Aerial Yoga Teachers and studios create safe and progressive curriculum.

Heather's vast aerial training experience and nurturing demeanor make her a sought after Aerial Yoga expert.
