"Thank you Holly for the awesome month of aerial yoga! You are an awesome, kind, compassionate and knowledgeable yoga teacher. Despite being completely unfamiliar with the yoga hammock and aerial techniques, I was able to practice comfortably and confidently without fear or hesitation on the very first night of practice. My comfort level was entirely due to your clear and easy-to-follow instructions for moving into postures while suspended in the hammock. And, it was a wonderful opportunity to practice yoga with my daughter! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am excited to practice aerial yoga with you next time you are in Boulder!​"

Who is Aviana?


Aviana was an undiscovered galactic goddess of South America but born from sisterhood of the Pleiades and came to this world requesting to serve as a portal for the people to connect with the radiance of the Divine Feminine energy embodied through a yoga practice that flows with the softness of the silks or the fluidity of the water and nature.  She lends her presence to connect with a true understanding of rhythm, balance, harmony, grace, and sensitivity to the frequencies of the Earth’s energy as well as your own.  Aviana opens a whole new dimension of dynamic understanding and connection to the great unknown. 

She embodies a strong feminine presence, the kind that is respected and honored by all who catch a glimpse of her.  She is dignified, yet she knows how to laugh, dance, sing, and play, as she finds these are the practices to connect with Spirit in the deepest way.  She is available to you to help bridge your connection to your Divine Feminine nature and to rise up to answer the call of your heart to be apart of the change this world needs.  

Ancient history or herstory, is filled with connections to goddesses bestowed with many teachings and gifts to aid in personal development of the feminine aspects each individual contains whether male or female.  The shifting of the ages has arrived, we are in the Golden Age or Age of Enlightenment, filled with blessings and opportunities to more fully embrace balance with the Sacred Feminine and to discover a new harmony with the overly emphasized masculine energy.  Aviana offers you an opportunity to connect with your empowered feminine aspects and to discover yourself as a goddess or god with unique gifts and teachings to offer from your heart to the heart to others.

Come...
We shall dance footprints in the sands
Of this serendipitous love,
To be washed away by the tides of time,
Imprinting the heart with hope
For treasures yet to unfold,
Breathe in this light, of beauty and grace
For moments like these are seldom embraced,
See the sacred synchronicity contain in the great mystery
- Holly Johnson, Founder Aviana Yoga
