WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
This training is experientially based. We have taught 75-90 minute full Aerial Yoga classes for a number of years now and that experience will allow us to teach you the following:
- Our general level class sequence that is designed to be accessible and adaptable. It flows and is both easy to teach and easy to adapt for different levels of physical strength and flexibility. It works well as an experience for most beginners and intermediate level students. A good way of thinking about this sequence is as a 'seed class' from which you will, as you develop in confidence and experience, be able to grow your own classes.
- The principles of successful class structuring. How to create well-balanced classes and avoid common pitfalls like over-stimulating or alienating the people in your class. The swing is a powerful tool and needs to be used skilfully to bring your students to a balanced state of being opened physically, soothed emotionally and calmed mentally. This takes experience of teaching this particular style of Yoga. You can benefit from our experience to avoid many of the mistakes that junior teachers make.
- Communication that is inclusive and encouraging, and that helps to create a strong bond between you and the clients. We also draw on our Thai Yoga Massage experience to give you some really useful adjustments you can incorporate into classes to enhance the teacher-student connection. Touch, well used, is a really powerful teaching aid.
- How to incorporate mindfulness and relaxation techniques into your teaching. Benefit from our experience with mindfulness and meditation to add depth to your teaching. There are some simple techniques that people absolutely love. Using them, particularly at the beginning and end of classes will give people a more positive experience that they remember and want to repeat - with you!
- How to use the Aerial Yoga swings to their full emotional potential - particularly in areas like reducing anxiety, enhancing feelings of wellbeing and creating mental focus.
- How to use the swing creatively and playfully within your classes for a more memorable experience and to make yourself stand out as an innovative teacher.
- Swing safety and installation.
- The 1 to 1 structure of this course makes it easy for you as a teacher to draw on our experience of teaching Aerial Yoga, which will really turbocharge your own teaching career. You will be able to learn a great deal about the art of teaching Aerial in a very short time, which will enhance your teaching and help you to establish a successful Aerial Yoga teaching career.
