You’ll explore foundational aerial skills\, safe alignment\, body mechanics\, progressions\, modifications\, creative transitions\, teaching techniques\, and lesson development—all within a supportive environment designed to meet you where you are.This training welcomes AIReal Yoga® and aerial yoga teachers\, aerial hammock practitioners\, experienced students\, current aerial instructors\, and those interested in teaching in the future. AIReal Yoga® or aerial yoga experience provides a valuable foundation\, and no previous aerial circus\, dance\, or performance experience is required. \n\n\n\nWhether you want to deepen your personal practice\, add new dimensions to your teaching\, begin your aerial hammock teaching journey\, or bring a structured curriculum into your studio\, you’ll leave with practical tools and a clear roadmap for continued growth. \n\n\n\nParticipants receive 24 hours of hands-on instruction\, personalized feedback\, a downloadable curriculum manual\, instructional videos\, ready-to-use lesson plans\, continued-learning resources\, and a Certificate of Completion.Come ready to move\, explore\, play\, and surprise yourself. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy This Training Is Different\n\n\n\nThis isn’t simply a weekend of learning new aerial skills. \n\n\n\nIt’s an immersive learning experience. \n\n\n\nOver four inspiring days\, you’ll move\, explore\, create\, laugh\, ask questions\, practice\, receive individualized feedback\, and develop a much deeper understanding of aerial hammock than can be gained from simply watching videos or collecting tricks. \n\n\n\nEach lesson builds upon the next\, allowing you to truly absorb the material rather than simply trying to keep up. \n\n\n\nYou’ll leave with greater confidence\, a clearer understanding of movement\, practical teaching tools\, and a roadmap for continuing your aerial journey long after the training has ended. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nBegin Low. 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\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 withdrawal requests must be submitted in writing. For cancellations received more than 30 days before the training begins\, tuition will be refunded less a $250 nonrefundable registration fee. No refunds will be issued for cancellations received 30 days or fewer before the training begins or after the training has started.  \n\n\n\nIf Still & Moving Center cancels a training or the required minimum enrollment is not reached\, participants will receive a full refund of the tuition paid for that training. Still & Moving Center and AIReal Yoga® are not responsible for participants’ airfare\, lodging\, or other travel expenses. Participants should wait until the training is officially confirmed before making any nonrefundable travel arrangements. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSign up here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarmen Curtis\n\n\n\n \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.
