Why Aerial Yoga is the Next Step in Your Yoga Journey
Yoga has stood the test of time, offering over 5,000 years of benefits for the mind, body, and soul. Among the many styles of yoga, Aerial Yoga elevates this ancient practice by incorporating a silk hammock suspension that adds a unique dimension to your fitness and wellbeing. The hammock supports your body midair, enhancing strength, flexibility, and spinal decompression in ways traditional floor yoga cannot.
If you’ve experienced the joy and healing power of Aerial Yoga and want to share this transformative practice with others, becoming an Aerial Yoga teacher could be the perfect next step for you.
How to Choose the Right Aerial Yoga Teacher Training Program: The Ultimate Checklist
Before you enroll, here are the key factors you should consider to ensure you get the best training for your investment:
1. Training Hours Matter: Understanding Certification Requirements
Many Aerial Yoga teacher trainings offer 50 hours or less, both online and in-person. While this may seem convenient, it's important to know that most yoga governing bodies require a minimum of 200 hours for teacher registration and certification.
If you’re already a certified yoga teacher, short aerial yoga courses can count as continuing education.
If you’re new to yoga, you need a comprehensive program with 200+ hours to qualify for official certification.
The Aerial Yoga Academy offers a complete teacher training program—no prior yoga experience needed—that meets the professional 200-hour standard. Our course includes foundational teachings such as Patanjali’s Sutras, Pranayama (breathwork), Chakras, and more, ensuring a thorough understanding of both traditional and aerial yoga.
2. Instructor Experience and Credentials
The quality of your training is only as good as your instructor. Make sure to:
Research the instructor’s certifications and experience.
Check if they are registered with reputable yoga organizations.
Review their teaching history and student testimonials.

She is also a member of multiple holistic and energy education organizations, ensuring her teachings blend traditional wisdom with modern holistic health practices.
3. Location and Affordability: Choose What Works for You
While many prestigious aerial yoga trainings take place in urban studios or retreats, consider what fits your lifestyle:
Can you commit to attending in-person classes far from home?
Does the cost include travel, accommodation, and time off work?
The Aerial Yoga Academy’s online training lets you learn anywhere in the world—from the comfort of your own home! This approach saves thousands of dollars and lets you balance family, work, and study without compromise. Our program is one of the most affordable yet comprehensive aerial yoga teacher trainings available today.
4. Professional Yoga Organization Approval
Training with a certified and registered yoga school is crucial for professional credibility and career advancement.
Look for programs registered with organizations such as:
World Yoga Alliance (www.wyayoga.org)
The Association of Yoga Professionals (www.theayp.org)
The Aerial Yoga Academy proudly meets these standards, providing a professional certification recognized worldwide.
