Meet Your Instructor
Hello! I am delighted to connect with you to share my passion for aerial yoga. I began teaching this practice in 2012 in Fort Collins, Colorado where I was the first to introduce aerial yoga to the area, so I am very familiar with the courage it takes to step into something new and find your way with it to a life you love. Since then, I have traveled the country and the globe supporting studios, retreat centers, and even arboretums with launching their very own aerial yoga programs. I am the author of Soaring with the Soul: An Aerial Yoga Guide, which I am presently in the process of creating the second edition of to serve as a resource for others with everything I have learned and developed over the years for the practice of aerial yoga. I feel so blessed since Aviana has come into my life as the portal through which I am able to support others in learning how to become teachers that serve the wellness and mindfulness of their local communities and I look forward to the opportunity to be of service to you. Many Blessings of Love, Light and Flight!
Frequently Asked Questions
Aviana offers an aerial yoga practice where you maintain a connection with the hammock throughout the practice, which allows you to surrender into being held and supported while flowing through a moving meditation. There is great attention given to the alignment of the body and the relationship of the body to the anchor points in the ceiling. From the foundation of a rooted connection to the body and to the hammock the practice takes on a full sensory engagement through the instructor’s attentiveness to the sights, sounds, and aromas. Aviana is a full immersion experience developed to guide the practitioner into a meditative journey of growth and awareness with lengthened, toned elegance.

The Aviana Aerial Yoga Teacher Training differs from other aerial yoga teacher trainings available due to the intentional focus on optimal body alignment, moving meditative sequences, full sensory engagement, and the connection to the power of sisterhood.

While you are an instructor in-training, you will need to offer classes to log your practice teaching hours. There are several ways that the classes can be offered, and it will vary depending on the hosting studio you are teaching out of. The classes can be donation-based where proceeds support a local cause, or proceeds go to the hosting studio to support the costs of the use of the space.
Once you are certified, you will have discovered your wings to take you where you would like to go. Since the launch of the Aviana yoga teacher training program there has been a lot of growth in the aerial yoga industry with a number of studios, park districts, retreat centers, gyms, health clubs, and therapy centers installing hammocks to be able to offer classes. If there isn’t one in your area, Aviana offers consulting to help support the launch of new spaces.
