Course Overview
All classic Hatha yoga lineages produce the same effect – they balance the energy body, so that the mind will settle into stillness (ideally for meditation). This is the original purpose for practicing Asana.
However, stringing a bunch of yoga positions together (either floor or aerial) won’t balance the energy body and settle the mind any more than stringing a bunch of random words together will create a clear story.
How This Course Will Help You
Learn how to organize yoga positions (and aerial yoga positions) in the best possible way to balance the energy body and bring the mind to stillness. Effective sequencing is crucial to succeed at this goal!
Even if you are not someone who enjoys a meditation practice, stilling the mind is a key factor to de-stressing, which can offer overall health benefits such as: lowering blood pressure, reducing inflammation, improving sleep quality, boosting immunity, improving digestion, and the list goes on.
Long Term Benefits
Along with a recording of the livestream, you will receive pdf worksheets to help you continue your studies from within the new understanding you will learn. The more you practice, the more natural it will become to create aerial yoga sequences that flow and balance your students just as much as classic floor yoga sequences do.

“I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone who is interested in creating a fun and purposeful aerial yoga sequence while staying true to the foundations of Hatha yoga.”

Enroll In Effective Sequencing for Aerial Yoga
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.
