Why Train under AIReal Yoga

 

1. AIReal Yoga, based in Ventura, California was the first program to work with the Yoga Alliance to certify aerial yoga teacher trainings. Years of collaboration were spent designing curriculum that was aligned with standards recommended by the Alliance. If the Hammock did not contribute to posture as a propped assist (to meet rigor as an identifiable yoga posture), the aerial posture was omitted from the training.

​

2. Carmen Curtis, Founder of AIReal Yoga, with her background in professional gymnastics, depth as a yoga instructor, and as a premier cirque performer, created this thoughtful practice with safety and wellness benefits at the forefront of her offerings.

​

3. Support and innovation from AIReal Yoga lives beyond your training. Recognized throughout the yoga community as a leader in aerial yoga, this training offers a network of other teachers, studios, and students that believe in sound aerial yoga practices.
