What Is Aerial Yoga?
Aerial yoga — sometimes called hammock yoga or anti-gravity yoga — suspends a strong, low-stretch fabric hammock from a ceiling rig or purpose-built frame. Practitioners use this hammock as a supportive prop to move through yoga postures, inversions, and flows that would be impossible or very challenging on a mat alone.
Unlike traditional mat-based yoga, aerial yoga shifts body weight off the joints. The hammock distributes load across a wider surface area, making deep hip openers, backbends, and spinal twists more accessible — particularly for students who experience tightness or discomfort when practising on the floor. Inversions that require significant upper-body strength on the mat can be safely explored from the first session, because the hammock absorbs the structural work.
The fabric hammock itself is typically made from high-tenacity nylon or polyester tricot rated to hold several hundred kilograms. The rig — whether a steel ceiling mount, a free-standing frame, or load-rated beams — must be installed and tested by a qualified rigger. Understanding this equipment is a core part of any responsible aerial yoga teacher training.
Hammock Yoga
Gentle, floor-level hammock work focused on supported stretches and restorative poses — ideal for beginners and therapeutic applications.
Aerial Yoga
A dynamic practice blending traditional yoga asana, Pilates, and acrobatics. The hammock is used mid-air at hip height and above.
Aerial Arts / Silks
A circus-derived discipline involving climbs, drops, and wraps high in the air. Aerial yoga is distinct — it is grounded in yoga philosophy and accessible to non-gymnasts.
Benefits of Aerial Yoga Practice
Why students and teachers worldwide are adding the hammock to their practice
Spinal Decompression
Hanging in the hammock allows gravity to gently lengthen the spine. This traction-like effect can create space between vertebrae, relieving compression that builds up from sitting, standing, or weight-bearing exercise. Many students describe a sense of lightness and length after even a short aerial session.
Inversions Made Accessible
Full inversions — headstands, shoulder stands, and hanging poses — can be intimidating or physically demanding on the mat. The hammock provides a secure, cushioned cradle so students can experience the circulatory and lymphatic benefits of going upside down without bearing full bodyweight on the neck or wrists.
Core Strength & Stability
Maintaining balance on an unstable surface recruits deep stabilising muscles that are often dormant in conventional yoga. Every aerial posture requires the core to work constantly to maintain position, building functional strength alongside flexibility.
Improved Proprioception
Moving through space in three dimensions — forwards, backwards, upside down — rapidly develops body awareness. Aerial practice challenges the nervous system to re-map where the body is in space, which translates into better balance and coordination in everyday movement and mat practice.
Stress Relief & Playfulness
There is a well-documented psychological effect to swinging and being suspended: it activates the parasympathetic nervous system. Students frequently report that aerial yoga feels more playful than a traditional class, lowering the psychological barriers to showing up and practising regularly.
Deep Tissue Flexibility
The hammock allows sustained, passive stretching of large muscle groups — particularly the hip flexors, hamstrings, and thoracic spine — with reduced effort. Students often achieve ranges of motion in aerial that exceed what they can access on the mat, and these gains transfer back to ground-based practice.
Safety & Physical Prerequisites
Aerial yoga is safe when practised and taught correctly. Here is what you need to know before you begin — and what you will teach your own students.
Physical Readiness
- General good health with no acute musculoskeletal injuries
- Ability to bear bodyweight on the arms for brief periods
- No severe spinal conditions, recent surgeries, or unstable joints — always consult a physician if in doubt
- Cardiovascular conditions, glaucoma, and pregnancy are common contraindications to full inversions — modifications exist
- A willingness to be upside down, though you build up to this gradually across the training
Equipment Safety Principles
- Hammock fabric must be inspected before every class — look for fraying, discolouration, or worn seams
- Carabiners and swivel hardware must be rated and load-tested; never use decorative or unrated hardware
- Ceiling attachments require structural engineering sign-off — load forces in dynamic movement exceed static bodyweight
- Adequate ceiling height is required for safe inversions; the minimum varies by practice style
- Spacing between hammock points matters — students must not be able to make contact with one another mid-practice
Important: As an aerial yoga teacher you become responsible for your students' safety every time you set up equipment or lead a class. This training covers contraindications, student screening, proper spotter positioning, and how to respond if a student loses their hold — so you graduate with the confidence to run a safe, professional class.
Who This Course Is For
No prior aerial experience is required. Here are the people who thrive in this training.
Yoga Teachers
RYT-certified teachers who want to expand their class offering and attract students who are curious about aerial. Adding a hammock class to your timetable creates a clear market differentiator.
Yoga Practitioners
Regular practitioners who have plateaued in flexibility or are looking for a new physical and creative challenge. Aerial provides access to ranges of motion that mat practice alone may not unlock.
Fitness Professionals
Personal trainers, Pilates instructors, and dance teachers who want to incorporate suspension-based movement into their sessions and expand into the growing aerial wellness market.
Studio Owners
People planning to open or grow a yoga studio who want to add aerial classes as a premium, high-demand offering. The business module covers equipment sourcing, installation, and pricing strategy.
Complete Beginners
Curious newcomers with no yoga background who feel drawn to the playful, acrobatic, and therapeutic aspects of aerial. The training starts from the ground up — no previous experience required.
Therapists & Healers
Physiotherapists, chiropractors, and wellness practitioners interested in aerial as a therapeutic modality for spinal decompression and mobility rehabilitation.

Adding Aerial Yoga to Your Studio
Practical guidance for studio owners and teachers considering aerial as a business offering
Aerial yoga has become one of the most searched specialty yoga disciplines globally. For studio owners, it offers a clear path to premium pricing, smaller class sizes, and a waiting-list culture — because hammock capacity is physically limited by rigging points, scarcity is built in.
The primary investment is structural: ceiling load capacity, rigging hardware, and fabric hammocks. The business module in this training walks you through how to evaluate a space, source equipment from reputable manufacturers, work with a structural engineer for sign-off, and draft a waiver and screening process that meets industry standards. These are not optional niceties — they are the legal and ethical foundation of a safe aerial programme.
From a marketing perspective, aerial yoga photographs and films exceptionally well. A single well-lit class generates more shareable social content than months of mat classes. Graduates from this training receive guidance on positioning their aerial offering, designing beginner-friendly entry classes that convert curious newcomers into regular students, and structuring multi-week foundations courses to build a stable aerial community.
Equipment Sourcing
Guidance on choosing hammock fabric weight, rigging hardware specifications, and reputable suppliers — so you invest wisely from the start.
Insurance & Liability
Overview of the insurance categories relevant to aerial teaching, student waivers, and health screening protocols that protect both teacher and student.
Class Design & Pricing
How to structure beginner, intermediate, and foundations courses, set premium pricing that reflects the specialist skill involved, and build a sustainable aerial programme.
