Certification
The four modules to earn your wings.
To receive your 25-hour Restorative Aerial Yoga Instructor certification, you'll submit four modules to satisfaction after watching, practicing, and reading all the training materials.
Once submitted, allow 2 weeks for review and feedback. You have a full year from enrollment to complete everything at your own pace.
Examination + Essays
A short, straightforward exam covering everything in the videos & manual, plus 2 brief essays. One retake permitted if needed.
Research Project
Design a 4-class restorative aerial yoga series for a population of your choosing (60–90 min each). Use it as the series you launch when you start sharing this practice.
Practice Teaching Hours
Submit 5 practice teaching hours with self-evaluation + student evaluations. Can be completed with just one student, though teaching multiple bodies is encouraged.
Teaching Demonstration
Submit a short video demonstrating the teaching skills you've acquired through the training.
Requirements
What you'll need.
Ideally, access to at least 2 hammock setups so you can complete your practice teaching. One setup is workable if your student is comfortable being demonstrated on the same fabric they'll be using.
Your 5 practice teaching hours can be completed with just 1 student — though we encourage teaching a variety of bodies so you can learn how different people connect with the fabric.
Upon purchase, you'll receive a video covering equipment needs including options for tying the hammocks.
From past students
They found their wings.
"I was pleasantly surprised with how much this online course covered and how easy it was to navigate through the modules and videos. I love how you separated them so it's easy to jump right back in and resume the training where I left off. None of the videos were too long. I was really impressed overall."
