Build Strong. Progress with Confidence.\n\n\n\nThroughout the training we’ll primarily use a low-set hammock. \n\n\n\nBeginning lower allows you to safely develop proper technique\, efficient movement patterns\, body awareness\, coordination\, strength\, confidence\, and creativity before progressing higher. \n\n\n\nLow-hammock work is also incredibly practical for studios with lower ceilings and for teachers who want to introduce students to aerial movement in an accessible\, supportive environment. \n\n\n\nThe foundational principles learned during the training can be adapted to longer hammocks and higher rigging points\, giving participants a versatile methodology they can continue developing in a variety of aerial hammock settings. \n\n\n\nBecause when the foundation is strong\, everything else becomes easier. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nLearn the Method\, Not Just the Material\n\n\n\nOne of the greatest gifts this training offers is learning how to learn. \n\n\n\nInstead of simply memorizing sequences\, you’ll begin understanding how every aerial movement is built. \n\n\n\nYou’ll learn how to recognize prerequisites\, break skills into manageable steps\, identify appropriate progressions\, offer modifications\, and know when students are ready to safely advance. \n\n\n\nThis methodology continues growing with you. \n\n\n\nAs your own aerial practice expands over the coming years\, you’ll have a framework for understanding how to safely teach new skills instead of feeling like you’re constantly starting over. \n\n\n\nWhether You Want to Practice or Teach…\n\n\n\nSome participants join because they simply love aerial hammock. \n\n\n\nOthers dream of becoming teachers. \n\n\n\nMany come somewhere in between. \n\n\n\nNo matter your goal\, this training meets you where you are. \n\n\n\nIf your goal is to deepen your personal practice\, you’ll leave with greater confidence\, improved technique\, and a deeper understanding of movement. \n\n\n\nIf your goal is teaching\, you’ll begin building the foundation for becoming a knowledgeable\, safe\, and inspiring instructor. \n\n\n\nThis training is not about producing perfect performers. \n\n\n\nIt’s about helping every participant become a more confident mover\, learner\, and—if they choose—a future teacher. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nA Proven Curriculum Built from Decades of Experience\n\n\n\nFor aspiring teachers and studio owners\, one of the most valuable parts of this training is receiving Carmen’s structured teaching curriculum. \n\n\n\nRather than wondering what to teach after students learn the basics\, you’ll receive a clear\, progressive roadmap that helps students safely develop confidence\, strength\, creativity\, and skill over time. \n\n\n\nThis curriculum has been refined through: \n\n\n\n• More than 25 years of aerial experience \n\n\n\n• More than 20 years of teaching \n\n\n\n• Over 17 years of owning and operating a successful aerial studio \n\n\n\nEvery progression\, lesson plan\, and teaching method has been tested\, refined\, and improved through thousands of hours of real-world teaching with students of all ages\, backgrounds\, and abilities. \n\n\n\nYou’ll leave with a proven system—not just ideas. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWhat You’ll Explore\n\n\n\nThroughout the training you’ll explore: \n\n\n\n• Foundational aerial hammock skills and techniques \n\n\n\n• Safe alignment and efficient movement patterns \n\n\n\n• Progressive skill development \n\n\n\n• Strength\, mobility\, coordination\, and body awareness \n\n\n\n• Creative transitions and aerial dance-inspired movement \n\n\n\n• Progressions and modifications for different experience levels \n\n\n\n• Teaching methodology and effective cueing \n\n\n\n• Spotting and supportive teaching practices \n\n\n\n• Beginner class development \n\n\n\n• Sequencing and lesson planning \n\n\n\n• Understanding prerequisites for advanced skills \n\n\n\n• Creating safe\, engaging\, and successful aerial classes \n\n\n\n• Adapting material for both low and higher hammock settings \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWho Is This Training For?\n\n\n\nThis training is ideal for: \n\n\n\n• Aerial hammock practitioners wanting to deepen their practice \n\n\n\n• Aerialists looking to strengthen their foundation \n\n\n\n• AIReal Yoga® teachers \n\n\n\n• Yoga teachers interested in aerial movement \n\n\n\n• Aerial teachers wanting a clearer beginner curriculum \n\n\n\n• Studio owners developing aerial hammock programs \n\n\n\n• Experienced hammock students considering teaching \n\n\n\nYou do not need to currently be a teacher or have previous aerial circus\, dance\, or performance experience to attend. Some experience using an aerial hammock is recommended\, and AIReal Yoga® or aerial yoga experience provides an excellent foundation for this training. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWhat You’ll Receive\n\n\n\nYour registration includes: \n\n\n\n• 24 hours of immersive\, hands-on instruction with Carmen Curtis \n\n\n\n• Personalized coaching and individual feedback \n\n\n\n• A downloadable and printable curriculum manual \n\n\n\n• Instructional videos for continued learning \n\n\n\n• Ready-to-use lesson plans and sequencing resources \n\n\n\n• Carmen’s progressive aerial hammock teaching methodology \n\n\n\n• A proven curriculum developed over decades of teaching \n\n\n\n• Practical progressions\, variations\, and teaching tools \n\n\n\n• Resources to continue your practice long after the training \n\n\n\n• A Certificate of Completion \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCertificate of Completion\n\n\n\nUpon successfully completing the training\, participants will receive a Foundational Aerial Hammock Training Certificate of Completion. \n\n\n\nFor those wishing to teach\, this training provides an exceptional foundation for becoming a safe and knowledgeable aerial hammock instructor. \n\n\n\nLike every movement discipline\, true mastery comes through continued practice\, observation\, experience\, and teaching. \n\n\n\nTeaching readiness naturally develops at different rates for every individual. \n\n\n\nOur goal is not simply to certify teachers. \n\n\n\nOur goal is to help cultivate thoughtful\, confident\, and responsible aerial educators who continue growing long after the training has ended. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout Carmen Curtis\n\n\n\nCarmen Curtis is one of the pioneers of modern aerial education and the internationally recognized creator of AIReal Yoga®\, the first aerial yoga teacher training recognized by Yoga Alliance. Her career spans more than 25 years as an aerial performer\, educator\, choreographer\, and movement specialist. \n\n\n\nBefore dedicating her career to education\, Carmen performed professionally in large-scale productions including Le Rêve\, choreographed for Beyoncé’s Formation World Tour\, worked with celebrities and elite athletes\, and has spent decades helping shape the aerial community through innovative programming\, teacher trainings\, and curriculum development. \n\n\n\nToday\, thousands of students and teachers around the world have studied her methodology\, making this a rare opportunity to learn directly from the creator herself. \n\n\n\nDrawing from more than 25 years of aerial experience\, 20+ years of teaching\, and over 17 years of successfully operating The Aerial Studio\, Carmen has developed a progressive methodology rooted in alignment\, safety\, functional movement\, creativity\, and individualized instruction. \n\n\n\nHer supportive teaching style helps students understand not only what to do\, but why movement works—giving them the confidence to continue practicing\, progressing\, and teaching for years to come. \n\n\n\nStudents appreciate Carmen’s ability to make complex movement approachable\, empowering\, and enjoyable while creating an environment where everyone feels supported regardless of experience level. \n\n\n\nWhat Students Appreciate About Training with Carmen\n\n\n\nPast participants consistently share that Carmen’s ability to break movement down makes complex skills feel approachable and achievable. Students leave feeling confident rather than overwhelmed\, and teachers find tremendous value in receiving a structured curriculum they can continue using long after the training ends. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRelationship to the AIReal Yoga® 50-Hour Training\n\n\n\nThis training is separate from\, yet beautifully complements\, the AIReal Yoga® 50-Hour Teacher Training. \n\n\n\nWhile the AIReal Yoga® training focuses on using the hammock as a prop to support and deepen the practice of yoga\, the Foundational Aerial Hammock Training explores the creative world of aerial movement\, transitions\, aerial arts\, and dance-inspired skills. \n\n\n\nEach training stands beautifully on its own\, and together they provide a comprehensive understanding of both yoga and aerial hammock methodology. \n\n\n\nRefund Policy \n\n\n\nAll requests to withdraw from the course must be submitted in writing. Participants who withdraw more than four (4) weeks before the course start date are eligible for a refund of all tuition paid\, less a non-refundable $500 administrative fee. Participants who withdraw between four (4) weeks and one (1) week before the course start date are eligible for a partial refund\, less the non-refundable $500 administrative fee.
