When we see images on social media of aerial yogis intricately woven into a spiderweb-like hammock, it’s easy to assume that aerial yoga is nothing like its floor counterpart.
In reality, aerial yoga began as a supportive tool – much like blocks or bolsters – designed to help students explore alignment, balance, and strength while practicing traditional yoga postures. The hammock offers feedback, support, and sometimes a sense of ease that helps build confidence and clarity in the body.
In this 2-hour in-person workshop with Michelle Dortignac, you’ll experience a complete yoga class that directly compares hammock-assisted postures with their no-hammock versions. You’ll explore how aerial yoga can complement and deepen a regular yoga practice, rather than replace it.
This workshop is ideal if you’re curious about aerial yoga, want to understand it more clearly, or are looking for new ways to support your existing practice.
Come feel lighter, supported, and more informed as your practice finds a little more space to grow.
Unnata® Aerial Yoga is the original aerial yoga method created by a yogi, for students (and teachers) who love yoga. The Unnata method weaves use of the hammock into a traditional Hatha Yoga class to enhance and refine a traditional floor yoga practice. Also called “hammock-assisted yoga,” students unwind old physical patterns, reset their body’s true alignment, and learn deeper body awareness in multi-dimensional space. Unnata Yoga classes ground as much as elevate, and balance both earth and air.
Unnata is real Yoga, elevated.
Michelle Dortignac, founder of Unnata® Aerial Yoga, is credited with developing the aerial yoga approach to hatha yoga. She is a YA E-RYT 500, AYC Level 3 certified Yoga instructor of almost three decades, while during a large portion of those years also being a professional aerial acrobatics performer. Her most influential Yoga teachers include Dharma Mittra, Alan Finger, Cyndi Lee, Susan Braham and Nishit Patel.
Since its inception in 2006, Unnata Aerial Yoga led the growth of popularity and the continued development of aerial yoga. Today, Unnata Yoga online courses and workshops focus on helping aerial yoga students and teachers learn how to use the yoga hammock as a tool to reinforce traditional yoga techniques proven to improve one’s physical and mental health.
