SUMMARY:AIReal Yoga® 50-Hour Hybrid Teacher Training with Carmen Curtis
DESCRIPTION:AIReal Yoga® 50-Hour Hybrid Teacher Training \n \nTrain directly with AIReal Yoga creator and founder Carmen Curtis. \n \nTraining Hours:50 hours \n \nDates:February 18 – 22\, 20278:00 AM – 6:00 PM \n \nPricing:$1100 EARLY BIRD through January 18\, 2027 $1200 regular price \n \n\n \n✨ Bundle & Save: This training beautifully complements the Foundational Aerial Hammock Training\, taking place February 24–27. Enroll in either training individually or experience both and receive an additional $100 discount on your combined registration. Use discount code: bundle100 at checkout if signing up for both trainings. \n \nLocation:Still & Moving Center | Oʻahu\, Hawaiʻi \n \nPayment plans available. Please contact info@stillandmovingcenter.com for details. \n \n\n \n\nReserve Your Spot\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \nLearn Directly From the Source\n \nJoin Carmen Curtis in Hawaiʻi for an immersive exploration of AIReal Yoga®—the first aerial yoga teacher training recognized by Yoga Alliance \n \nThis experience goes beyond memorizing poses or learning aerial tricks. You will study the methodology behind using the hammock as a yoga prop and discover how it can provide support\, feedback\, resistance\, assistance\, and greater awareness within your yoga practice. \n \nThe goal is not to make every body perform a posture in exactly the same way. The goal is to understand the intention of the posture\, recognize the needs of the individual\, and make informed choices that create a safer\, more efficient\, and more supportive experience. \n \nYou will be encouraged to explore\, ask questions\, and discover what is possible for you in an environment where you can feel safe\, supported\, and truly seen. \n \n \nMore Than Yoga Poses in a Hammock\n \nThe hammock is a powerful yoga prop\, but the heart of AIReal Yoga is the way we understand and support the person using it. \n \nEven familiar yoga postures may be approached differently within the AIReal Yoga methodology. Carmen prioritizes functional\, individualized alignment rather than asking every student to conform to one external shape. \n \nThroughout the training\, you will explore how to: \n \n\n\n\n  \n\n\nUse the hammock to support\, assist\, challenge\, and provide feedback within yoga postures\n\n\n \n\n\nUnderstand the intention and function behind each posture\n\n\n \n\n\nRecognize individual movement patterns and alignment needs\n\n\n \n\n\nIntegrate functional movement and corrective exercises\n\n\n \n\n\nOffer thoughtful progressions\, variations\, and modifications\n\n\n \n\n\nAdapt the practice for different bodies\, abilities\, and levels of experience\n\n\n \n\n\nWork more intelligently with hypermobility\n\n\n \n\n\nSupport students across the adult lifespan\n\n\n \n\n\nDevelop balance\, strength\, mobility\, stability\, stamina\, coordination\, and body awareness\n\n\n \n\n\nIncorporate nervous-system regulation into personal practice and teaching\n\n\n \n\n\nHelp reduce injury risk through alignment\, awareness\, and efficient movement\n\n\n \n\n\nSupport a thoughtful return to practice following an injury and appropriate medical clearance\n\n\n \n\n\nTeach with greater clarity\, confidence\, adaptability\, and purpose\n\n\n \nCarmen will provide individual observation and guidance whenever possible so participants can better understand their own bodies\, movement habits\, strengths\, and needs. \n \n \nA Supportive Hybrid Experience\, Beyond the Digital Curriculum\n \nThis hybrid training combines five days of immersive\, hands-on instruction with immediate\, unlimited lifetime access to the complete AIReal Yoga digital training and downloadable manual. \n \nAs soon as you register\, you may begin watching the educational videos\, reading and printing the manual\, and familiarizing yourself with the material. Those who register early can use these resources to prepare before arriving. \n \nHowever\, you are not expected to complete the entire digital training beforehand. If you register closer to the training dates\, that is completely okay. You will receive the same in-person education and individual attention\, and you can continue exploring the curriculum afterward at your own pace. \n \nThe digital course and manual provide a comprehensive foundation\, but your time with Carmen will go far beyond the recorded curriculum. AIReal Yoga continues to evolve as Carmen works with different bodies\, studies movement\, and applies nearly 30 years of experience to new discoveries. \n \nDuring the in-person training\, Carmen will share the latest developments in the methodology\, including: \n \n\n\n\n  \n\n\nRefined alignment principles\n\n\n \n\n\nNew variations and modifications\n\n\n \n\n\nFunctional movement applications\n\n\n \n\n\nCorrective exercises\n\n\n \n\n\nNervous-system regulation\n\n\n \n\n\nHypermobility considerations\n\n\n \n\n\nHealthy-aging applications\n\n\n \n\n\nCurrent approaches to safety and injury prevention\n\n\n \nYou will also receive what cannot be fully captured in a manual or video: Carmen’s real-time observation\, individual assessment\, hands-on guidance\, answers to your specific questions\, and ability to adapt the practice to the person in front of her. \n \nRather than simply repeating the digital course\, the in-person training brings the material to life. You will understand the reasoning behind the practice and develop greater confidence in making informed choices for your own body and the students you may teach. \n \nBecause your digital access never expires\, you can return to the training whenever you need to review a posture\, revisit alignment or safety information\, explore a modification\, plan a class\, deepen your practice\, or find renewed inspiration. \n \nYou do not need to remember everything at once. The digital training and manual become lifelong resources that continue growing with you. \n \n \nWho Is This Training For?\n \nYoga Teachers\n \nExpand your teaching toolkit with a supportive\, adaptable modality that can help students experience familiar yoga postures in new ways. \n \nLearn how the hammock can provide feedback\, assistance\, resistance\, and accessibility\, allowing you to serve a wider range of students while maintaining a strong foundation in yoga\, alignment\, safety\, and intentional movement. \n \nRegistered yoga teachers are eligible to receive 50 Yoga Alliance continuing-education hours upon successful completion of the training requirements. \n \n \nCurrent AIReal Yoga and Aerial Yoga Teachers\n \nWhether you trained with AIReal Yoga or through another aerial yoga program\, this training offers an opportunity to revisit your foundation with a new lens\, refine your teaching\, and experience the latest evolution of the AIReal Yoga methodology. \n \nCurrent AIReal Yoga teachers can refresh their knowledge and explore the newest updates\, alignment principles\, variations\, and modifications. Teachers from other aerial yoga backgrounds can deepen their understanding of individualized alignment\, functional movement\, safety\, accessibility\, nervous-system regulation\, hypermobility\, and supporting students across a wide range of ages\, bodies\, abilities\, and experience levels. \n \nAll experienced teachers will have opportunities to ask questions\, receive individual feedback\, and discover new layers of understanding as their own bodies\, students\, and teaching continue to evolve. \n \n \nAerialists and Aerial Arts Teachers\n \nComplement your aerial training with intelligent yoga methodology and learn to move with greater alignment\, efficiency\, awareness\, and control. \n \nExplore how the hammock can support strength\, mobility\, stability\, recovery\, and longevity. A deeper understanding of functional movement\, alignment\, progression\, and individual modification can help aerialists build a more sustainable practice and reduce their risk of injury. \n \nAerial teachers will also gain tools for recognizing individual movement needs and supporting a wider range of students. \n \n \n\n \nDedicated Students and Healthy-Aging Practitioners\n \nYou do not need to be a certified yoga teacher to participate\, and age alone does not determine what is possible for you. \n \nStudents with an established yoga or AIReal Yoga practice are welcome to attend for their own education\, personal growth\, and deeper understanding of the hammock. AIReal Yoga is not limited to young\, highly flexible\, or advanced aerial practitioners. \n \nAIReal Yoga welcomes adults across the lifespan—from those in their 20s to practitioners in their 90s. Carmen has even welcomed an 83-year-old into teacher training\, demonstrating that meaningful learning\, growth\, and discovery can continue throughout life. \n \nThe hammock can offer valuable support throughout the aging process by helping practitioners safely explore balance\, strength\, mobility\, stability\, stamina\, coordination\, body awareness\, and nervous-system regulation. It can also provide greater confidence and more options for adapting yoga postures to the body you have today. \n \nYou may take the training simply to: \n \n\n\n\n  \n\n\nBetter understand your body\n\n\n \n\n\nSupport healthy aging and long-term movement\n\n\n \n\n\nImprove balance\, strength\, mobility\, stability\, and stamina\n\n\n \n\n\nDevelop greater body awareness and confidence\n\n\n \n\n\nExplore safe and appropriate modifications\n\n\n \n\n\nLearn how the hammock can support your individual needs\n\n\n \n\n\nBuild a strong foundation for continued practice\n\n\n \nAn established yoga or AIReal Yoga practice is recommended so you can receive the greatest benefit from the experience. Participants should be able to participate safely and receive appropriate medical clearance when returning after an injury or managing a health condition. \n \n \nWhat Is Included?\n \nYour AIReal Yoga 50-Hour Hybrid Training includes: \n \n\n\n\n  \n\n\nFive immersive days of in-person training with Carmen Curtis\n\n\n \n\n\nHands-on instruction and personalized guidance\n\n\n \n\n\nIndividual observation and assessment whenever possible\n\n\n \n\n\nThe latest AIReal Yoga methodology\, alignment\, variations\, and modifications\n\n\n \n\n\nFunctional movement and corrective exercise applications\n\n\n \n\n\nNervous-system regulation principles and practices\n\n\n \n\n\nConsiderations for hypermobility and healthy aging\n\n\n \n\n\nSafety\, sequencing\, progression\, and teaching methodology\n\n\n \n\n\nUnlimited lifetime access to the complete digital training\n\n\n \n\n\nNearly 25 hours of educational video content\n\n\n \n\n\nApproximately 25 hours of guided practice\n\n\n \n\n\nA comprehensive downloadable and printable training manual\n\n\n \n\n\nMore than 100 postures with detailed descriptions and visual instruction\n\n\n \n\n\nReady-to-use sequences and lesson plans\n\n\n \n\n\nProgressions and modifications for different bodies and levels\n\n\n \n\n\nOne complimentary year of the AIReal Yoga Online Membership\n\n\n \n\n\nUnlimited membership classes across a range of styles and levels\n\n\n \n\n\nPrintable class descriptions\, resources\, and lesson plans\n\n\n \n\n\nContinued support from Carmen after the training\n\n\n \n\n\nConnection to the international AIReal Yoga community\n\n\n \n\n\nEligibility for Yoga Alliance continuing education hours for registered yoga teachers\n\n\n \n\n\nAn AIReal Yoga 50-Hour certificate upon successful completion of the training requirements\n\n\n \n \nContinued Practice and Support\n \nYour education does not end when the in-person training is complete. \n \nEvery participant receives one complimentary year of the AIReal Yoga Online Membership.

For personal-practice students\, the membership offers continued structure\, variety\, inspiration\, and connection. \n \n \nMore Than a Training\, A Community\n \nAIReal Yoga trainings create meaningful connections. Participants learn together\, support one another\, share discoveries\, and often leave wishing the experience did not have to end. \n \nFortunately\, the connection does not end after our five days together. \n \nYou will become part of a growing international community of AIReal Yoga teachers and practitioners.

Use discount code: bundle100 at checkout if signing up for both trainings. \n \nLocation: Still & Moving Center | Oʻahu\, Hawaiʻi \n \nPayment plans available. Please contact info@stillandmovingcenter.com for details. \n \n\n \n\nSign up here\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \nBuild the confidence to practice\, progress\, and teach aerial hammock through a proven\, progressive methodology developed over decades of real-world experience. \nIn this immersive four-day training\, internationally recognized aerial educator and AIReal Yoga® creator Carmen Curtis will help you expand your understanding of the hammock beyond the movements you may already know. 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. \nThis 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 \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 \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. \nCome ready to move\, explore\, play\, and surprise yourself. \n \n\n \nWhy This Training Is Different\n \nThis isn’t simply a weekend of learning new aerial skills. \n \nIt’s an immersive learning experience. \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 \nEach lesson builds upon the next\, allowing you to truly absorb the material rather than simply trying to keep up. \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 \nBegin Low. Build Strong. Progress with Confidence.\n \nThroughout the training we’ll primarily use a low-set hammock. \n \nBeginning lower allows you to safely develop proper technique\, efficient movement patterns\, body awareness\, coordination\, strength\, confidence\, and creativity before progressing higher. \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 \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 \nBecause when the foundation is strong\, everything else becomes easier. \n \n \nLearn the Method\, Not Just the Material\n \nOne of the greatest gifts this training offers is learning how to learn. \n \nInstead of simply memorizing sequences\, you’ll begin understanding how every aerial movement is built. \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 \nThis methodology continues growing with you. \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 \nWhether You Want to Practice or Teach…\n \nSome participants join because they simply love aerial hammock. \n \nOthers dream of becoming teachers. \n \nMany come somewhere in between. \n \nNo matter your goal\, this training meets you where you are. \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 \nIf your goal is teaching\, you’ll begin building the foundation for becoming a knowledgeable\, safe\, and inspiring instructor. \n \nThis training is not about producing perfect performers. \n \nIt’s about helping every participant become a more confident mover\, learner\, and—if they choose—a future teacher. \n \n \nA Proven Curriculum Built from Decades of Experience\n \nFor aspiring teachers and studio owners\, one of the most valuable parts of this training is receiving Carmen’s structured teaching curriculum. \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 \nThis curriculum has been refined through: \n \n• More than 25 years of aerial experience \n \n• More than 20 years of teaching \n \n• Over 17 years of owning and operating a successful aerial studio \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 \nYou’ll leave with a proven system—not just ideas. \n \n \nWhat You’ll Explore\n \nThroughout the training you’ll explore: \n \n• Foundational aerial hammock skills and techniques \n \n• Safe alignment and efficient movement patterns \n \n• Progressive skill development \n \n• Strength\, mobility\, coordination\, and body awareness \n \n• Creative transitions and aerial dance-inspired movement \n \n• Progressions and modifications for different experience levels \n \n• Teaching methodology and effective cueing \n \n• Spotting and supportive teaching practices \n \n• Beginner class development \n \n• Sequencing and lesson planning \n \n• Understanding prerequisites for advanced skills \n \n• Creating safe\, engaging\, and successful aerial classes \n \n• Adapting material for both low and higher hammock settings \n \n \nWho Is This Training For?\n \nThis training is ideal for: \n \n• Aerial hammock practitioners wanting to deepen their practice \n \n• Aerialists looking to strengthen their foundation \n \n• AIReal Yoga® teachers \n \n• Yoga teachers interested in aerial movement \n \n• Aerial teachers wanting a clearer beginner curriculum \n \n• Studio owners developing aerial hammock programs \n \n• Experienced hammock students considering teaching \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 \nWhat You’ll Receive\n \nYour registration includes: \n \n• 24 hours of immersive\, hands-on instruction with Carmen Curtis \n \n• Personalized coaching and individual feedback \n \n• A downloadable and printable curriculum manual \n \n• Instructional videos for continued learning \n \n• Ready-to-use lesson plans and sequencing resources \n \n• Carmen’s progressive aerial hammock teaching methodology \n \n• A proven curriculum developed over decades of teaching \n \n• Practical progressions\, variations\, and teaching tools \n \n• Resources to continue your practice long after the training \n \n• A Certificate of Completion \n \n \nCertificate of Completion\n \nUpon successfully completing the training\, participants will receive a Foundational Aerial Hammock Training Certificate of Completion. \n \nFor those wishing to teach\, this training provides an exceptional foundation for becoming a safe and knowledgeable aerial hammock instructor. \n \nLike every movement discipline\, true mastery comes through continued practice\, observation\, experience\, and teaching. \n \nTeaching readiness naturally develops at different rates for every individual. \n \nOur goal is not simply to certify teachers. \n \nOur goal is to help cultivate thoughtful\, confident\, and responsible aerial educators who continue growing long after the training has ended. \n \n \nRelationship to the AIReal Yoga® 50-Hour Training\n \nThis training is separate from\, yet beautifully complements\, the AIReal Yoga® 50-Hour Teacher Training. \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 \nEach training stands beautifully on its own\, and together they provide a comprehensive understanding of both yoga and aerial hammock methodology. \n \nRefund Policy \n \nAll withdrawal requests must be submitted in writing.
