Frequently Asked Questions
?
Do I need to be a yoga teacher for aerial yoga teacher training?
Most aerial yoga teacher training courses ask for a 200-hour yoga certificate first, because hammock work builds on the alignment and sequencing you already teach on the mat. A few schools run 200-hour courses that combine mat and aerial training for newer practitioners.
?
Is aerial yoga teacher training recognised by Yoga Alliance?
Aerial yoga teacher training is usually registered with Yoga Alliance as continuing education rather than a standalone teaching credential, so the hours add to an existing registration. Courses typically run 50 hours. No single body governs aerial yoga, and brands such as Unnata, AntiGravity and AIReal certify separately.
?
What does an aerial yoga teacher training cover?
An aerial yoga teacher training covers hammock rigging and load safety, spotting and hands-on support, inversions, and how to sequence and cue a class for students in suspension. A 50-hour course usually fills a week of full days. Carabiners, support chains and knot-tying are taught hands-on.
