WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
We specialise in 75-90 minute, holistic, Aerial Yoga classes. It is great that you can use the aerial swing for spinal traction and deep assisted stretching, but that is only part of what you can do with it. Over 10 years of teaching classes we have learnt a lot of other uses for it that can give people a more complete experience. Helping you make the transition from an instructor - where classes have to be more rigid and controlled. To a genuine teacher - where you have the skills to work more creatively and spontaneously with your students. Plus you have the confidence that our sequences have been tested on real people in real classes over a number of years and shown to work well in retaining clients. On this course you will learn:
Two full class sequences. A beginner and an intermediate level. They are designed to be inclusive and adaptable. They flow and are both easy to teach and easy to adapt for different levels of physical strength and flexibility. A good way of thinking about these sequences is as a 'seed classes' from which you will, as you develop in confidence and experience, be able to grow your own classes.
The principles of successful class structuring. How to create well-balanced classes and avoid common pitfalls like over-stimulating or alienating the people in your class. The swing is a powerful tool and needs to be used skilfully to bring your students to a balanced state of being opened physically, soothed emotionally and calmed mentally. This takes experience of teaching this particular style of Yoga. You can benefit from our experience to avoid many of the mistakes that junior teachers make.
Communication that is inclusive and encouraging, and that helps to create a strong bond between you and the clients. We also draw on our Thai Yoga Massage experience to give you some really useful adjustments you can incorporate into classes to enhance the teacher-student connection. Touch, well used, is a really powerful teaching aid.
How to incorporate mindfulness and relaxation techniques into your teaching. Benefit from our experience with mindfulness and meditation to add depth to your teaching. There are some simple techniques that people absolutely love. Using them, particularly at the beginning and end of classes will give people a more positive experience that they remember and want to repeat - with you!
How to use the Aerial Yoga swings to their full emotional potential - particularly in areas like reducing anxiety, enhancing feelings of wellbeing and creating mental focus.
How to use the swing creatively and playfully within your classes for a more memorable experience and to make yourself stand out as an innovative teacher.
Swing safety and installation.
