A hammock, a bolster, & a whole lot of creativity will bring you 2 hours of bliss!

Workshop Overview

In this special 2-hour livestream class, Unnata’s founder, Michelle Dortignac, brings a bolster (or rolled blankets) inside the hammock to explore restorative yoga positions entirely off of the ground. No need to change the setting of your hammock… this class is done with the hammock hung at the standard distance away from the floor.

Feel the positions from the student’s perspective, then after class gain insights on how to teach the class.

    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. 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.
