Aerial Yoga students and teachers who wish to learn traditional yoga breathing techniques and their benefits, and learn when during an aerial yoga practice to use each technique. All of the techniques we’ll explore are appropriate for beginner/advanced-beginner students, too.

You’ll learn a variety of traditional breathing techniques, including several that may even be new to experienced yoga practitioners and teachers. No prior experience with pranayama is necessary. The selected techniques are valuable tools to add depth, ease, and presence to an aerial yoga practice.

Bonus! You will also be able to apply the information you learn to your floor yoga practice (without hammocks).

Traditional yoga breathing techniques will be woven into a guided aerial yoga class, pairing specific breathing methods to the different types of aerial asanas. Some breathing techniques prepare you for a posture before you move into it. Others are practiced both before and during the posture, changing not only how it feels, but how you experience it from the inside.

You’ll learn breathing techniques specifically to support:

• Sun Salutations

• Standing Balances & Positions

• Inversions & Forward Bends

• Backward Bends and Core Strengtheners

• Twists & Relaxation Poses

All the breathing techniques will be learned and practiced within a guided aerial yoga class.

This workshop was first presented in-person this summer. Here are some of the comments I heard from students the next day:

“This workshop reminded me of how important a breathing practice is.”

“After the workshop, I’ve never slept better.”
