AERIAL YOGA TEACHER TRAINING COURSE IN GOA

Aerial Yoga is a mix of yoga, acrobatics, pilates and physical therapy. It’s easier than normal yoga because we use swings to support our body weight so our muscles don’t work as hard. The swings allow us to move more freely, stretch easier, attain correct alignment and do advanced poses such as handstands and inversions. Aerial Yoga Teacher Training Course offers great therapeutic benefits by using gravity to stretch the spine, relieve back pain and heal injuries.

Aerial means air or to fly. Yoga means union of body, mind and spirit with the divine or universal life giving force. This is achieved by purifying and strengthening the body through proper diet and physical conditioning, calming the mind through meditation, realizing the spirit by exploring our essential nature and transcending the barriers of ego consciousness, plus space and time, which separate us from the true nature of being and reality.

Aerial Yoga is a wonderful practice to facilitate this. We use a prop, such as a strap, hammock, silk or swing, to support the body weight and hold poses more comfortably and stay for longer, giving us time to focus our attention, analyze and adjust alignment and relax into a deeper state of consciousness.

Swings also allow us to increase our range of motion, deepen stretches, find new balance and easily achieve advanced poses, plus combine asanas to create new ones. Most importantly, aerial is fun and makes us happy. The swings help all students reach the same level, so we are less occupied with comparing ourselves with others and criticising our own lack of development. We can all do one-handed hand stands, back flips and even fly over water. Through blissful play we lose ourselves in the moment to reach a state of pure ecstatic being. By sharing aerial with others we create an abundance of health and happiness all over the world.
