Aerial Hammock Teacher Training

An Aerial Sling, Aerial Hammock Dance, Aerial Circus Arts, Tricks and Flips 24 Hour Workshop

 

This is your official invite to learn the art of playing in the AIR


To move your body in new ways.
To create. Express. And DANCE in the air. Even if you have no experience with dance.

Learn to teach (if you wish!) students at ANY level, safely and through sustainable progressions. 

Join us for a 4-day aerial hammock training, led by AIReal Yoga founder and Cirque performer Carmen Curtis.

We’ll explore aerial movement from the ground up (literally), learning to teach and move with clarity, creativity, and safety.

Not just for teachers or studio owners, but for all yogis looking to learn the art of play in the AIR.

 

SAVE YOUR SPOT

You Don’t Have to Choose Between Dance and Yoga

 

This is for the movers.
The dreamers.
The ones who crave connection—on and off the mat.

AIReal Yoga PLAY is a 4-day hammock dance teacher training designed to help you move differently, teach creatively, and tap into the JOY of embodied expression.

No performance background required. Just a willingness to fly, flow, and have fun.

This training blends the lower ceiling height of an aerial yoga practice while offering a way to introduce a form of play to your classes and studio offerings (or your own personal practice from home)—bridging somatics, movement artistry, and sequencing that can be done at lower ceiling heights than traditional aerial circus studios.

After 25 years of aerial hammock experience, we’re sharing our time-tested method for teaching the art of aerial hammock—rooted in safety and awareness—so that you’ll be set up for success to teach (or play on your own) at any level, for every Body. 

“This training was everything I didn’t know I needed. I came to deepen my practice and left with a renewed passion for movement.

 

 

“Carmen’s guidance gave me the tools to teach aerial choreography safely, clearly, and with so much joy.”

You Might Be Feeling…

 

  • A pull to expand beyond traditional yoga or aerial formats

  • Unsure how to safely teach or try hammock tricks and transitions

  • Burned out on rigid formats that leave little room for self-expression

  • Confused about labeling your classes (Is it yoga? Is it dance?)

  • Like your studio needs more variety to reach different students (kids, teens, beginners, stiff adults)

  • Curious to play and progress confidently in your own practice
