Reinforce the “yoga” in your aerial yoga!
Course Overview
In this 3-hour online course, an abbreviated version of our teacher training, you’ll learn what’s at the heart of the Unnata method, our “secret ingredient” so to speak, and why according to our students, Unnata Aerial Yoga classes “feel like real yoga.” You’ll also learn how to apply Unnata principles to your own aerial yoga practice and teaching.
What You Will Get Out of This Course (Benefits & Goals)
Even if you have very little training in, or experience with Hatha yoga, learning the foundations of the Unnata method will deepen your understanding of classic yoga, and transform your aerial yoga classes for you and your students to include inner serenity along with the dynamic fun of aerial yoga.
What Is Hatha Yoga, Anyway?
Most people attend yoga classes to improve their physical fitness without realizing the original purpose for the yoga postures. The intense focus on deep breathing while practicing yoga postures was originally meant to balance our autonomic nervous system, which helps our minds be uncolored by thoughts arising out of stress, anxiety, fear, anger, sadness, or any array of emotions that push us into (and sometimes get us stuck in) the fight-flight-freeze instinct. Balancing our autonomic nervous system improves our overall well-being (both mind and body), which brings us closer to inner peace.
No matter what the goal of your yoga practice (physical or otherwise), we can use the yoga hammock to support and enhance your experience.
“I am amazed by the [Unnata] method and the way it is taught, as well as the effect on the body and mind.”

Enroll In Secrets of Unnata 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. 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 entire genre of aerial yoga. She is an E-RYT 500 certified Yoga instructor of over 25 years, 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 the Unnata Aerial Yoga Teacher Training program is world renowned for its high standards, high-quality training. Participants receive large amounts of personalized instruction, and graduates receive a great amount of continuing support.
