Aerial Yoga Teacher Training and Wellness Escape in Rishikesh

This training stands out because it's one of the few schools offering four dedicated aerial yoga sessions each day, allowing for deep immersion in the practice. You'll learn everything from basic safety and alignment to advanced postures, using two different types of hammocks. The program also includes a bit of Yin Yoga to balance the yang aspects of aerial work, plus daily teaching practice to build your confidence as an instructor.

The curriculum covers a wide range of postures: warm-ups, pull-based movements, core work, spinal extensions, shoulder and backbends, balancing poses, and finishing postures. You'll also learn proper sequencing and class planning, and there are written exams on yoga anatomy. The final day includes practical and anatomy exams, followed by certificate distribution.

The instructors are experienced and dedicated. Neeraj is an E-RYT 500 with 12 years of teaching experience and a background in Vedantic Philosophy. Sumit holds a Master's in Yoga and has been teaching for nine years, specializing in Hatha, Yin, Aerial, and Mantra Chanting. Ajay, a bachelor's student in Yoga and a Rishikesh local, adds a fresh, energetic presence, known for his smile and intense sessions.

The setting is on the bank of the Ganges River, surrounded by nature, with views of the Shivalik range. The school is about 9 km from the tourist center of Rishikesh, offering a quieter, more focused environment while still being accessible. The accommodation is simple but comfortable, with options from shared rooms to private rooms with AC.

The food is Ayurvedic and vegetarian, with meals provided three times a day (except on the weekly off day). Reviews highlight the delicious, nourishing meals, though they suggest adding more gluten-free protein options. All in all, this is a well-structured, high-value course for anyone serious about becoming an aerial yoga teacher.
