For students
Come for your own practice. Explore how a change in hammock height or a blanket under the hips can help you settle into a longer hold.
For teachers
Bring your questions about placement, alignment, and sequencing. This continuing education immersion gives you variations to use in gentle and restorative classes and an AIReal Restore certificate of completion.
For studios
If your team wants to study together, contact Carmen about group training. Each participant enrolls individually.
“The training is above and beyond what I thought it would be. I absolutely love it. Carmen is great, and she is one of the best trainers I’ve ever had.”
You’ll experience the poses as a student before exploring how to guide someone else into them. Start with the floor-based version, then try a low hammock and props. Notice what changes when you raise the fabric, move a bolster, or add support under the head.
In Ventura, there’s time to ask Carmen questions and try variations together. In the self-paced course, you can pause the videos and revisit a sequence as often as you like.
The hammock helps you find the stillness you seek.
