Workshop Overview

Take your restorative yoga to new depths through adding a little bit of height! Set your hammock to knee-height distance from the floor, and with the assistance of a large bolster (or folded blankets), we’ll explore ways to support the body in traditional yoga positions which balance and encourage energy flow.

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

What You Will Gain From This Workshop (Benefits & Goals)

Restorative yoga classes sooth the nervous system, which rejuvenates the body and mind. After restorative yoga classes, students have more energy, and more mental clarity, allowing them to better take on life’s challenges.

Long Term Benefits

    • Add more variety to your aerial yoga practice, therefore reducing overuse of any particular body part.
    • Offer something new to your aerial yoga students, keeping them interested and motivated.
    • Encourage your ground yoga students to try an inviting and enticing version of aerial yoga.

    “I like the idea of yoga being a nurturing experience rather than something you have to make do with, or try to force.”

    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. Considered more of a “supported” yoga class than an “aerial” yoga class, 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.
