VaihAyasa Aerial Yoga
the most comprehensive Aerial Teacher Training for your studio
Not all Trainings are created equally.
VaihAyasa is Sanskrit for “being or moving in the air, suspended in the air, sky-dwellers.” An appropriate name for this style of Aerial Yoga that combines the fun of other playful acrobatic aerial, with the grounding and alignment-centered details of more yogic aerial. It is a smooth merger of both extremes of the aerial yoga world that allows practitioners to sink into their practice more quickly, to deepen stretches, to find proper alignment naturally, and to reap the benefits of inversions without strain on the joints of the body. Aerial Yoga allows practitioners to invert without strain to the neck or joints, allowing for surrender into a posture and full benefits. You will find that your mind clears, shifting to become open, aware, present.

Why VaihAyasa?
Why VaihAyasa?
“I loved everything about the training! Heather created a wonderful sense of community and fellowship as our teacher, making for a week of learning and observation, as well as self-reflection.”
“Wonderful presentation of the information in a way that allowed us to get the information from our heads to our ‘body memory’."
"Your warmth and understanding was excellent. You beautifully held the space, making an environment that was both emotionally and physically safe to learn in. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity and for sharing your beautiful Self.”
Quite simply: our training is the most comprehensive Aerial Yoga Teacher Training there is. By combining tricks of the trade from across multiple aerial modalities, we set our teacher trainees up to give their students diverse and well-sequenced classes. A VaihAyasa Teacher Training isn't about just learning poses in a set sequence. Your VaihAyasa Teacher Training is about learning the how and why so that you can build classes from the ground up-- teaching you how to create a set and setting that caters to your own teaching intention, whether that is a therapeutic and restorative series or a high-intensity acrobatic flow. Gaining the confidence and skills to teach groups of all sizes safely, VaihAyasa sets new instructors up for success and provides the tools to continue growing along with the practice. We offer options for continuing your education above and beyond any "competition" with certification courses, teacher retreats, and in-person skill-shares offered throughout the year. Our mentorship program is top-of-the-line, and we are available to help you get set with whatever you need to find success as an instructor-- whether that is rigging up a complete fleet of hammocks or guidance in creating a well-refined aerial curriculum. VaihAyasa offers the expertise and high quality standard that truly sets you apart in the aerial realm.
We compared VaihAyasa to our top three peer associations and found that we are the most comprehensive and cost effective, across the board.
