A Study Sanctuary in West Friendship, Maryland
November 2nd - 5th
Join us for a very special Aerial Yoga Teacher Training at THE Pearl in Columbia, Maryland. I am elated to connect to such a healing and nurturing studio and spa in order to share the beauty of teaching aerial yoga.
THE Pearl is a modern spa that has it all from rituals and remedies to wellness wonders and mindful movements in a naturally lit welcoming studio where we will be hanging for the weekend!
The aerial studio is filled with uplifting energy and will aid you in feeling refreshed throughout the training program together! We have a lot of material to cover in a short amount of time, but by making this a retreat, you will feel like you have the space to study and absorb all of the teachings while carving out the time away to focus and relax.
