The first Aerial Yoga studio in Nepal
Aerial Yoga has grown in popularity over the last few years, providing a grounding and mood boosting practice that can also be deeply therapeutic and restorative. Our Certified Aerial Teacher Training, led by Suman Thapa and Prapti, builds upon traditional foundation Hatha yoga asana, mindfulness and body work and is inspired by the love of the effect that the Aerial Swing has on students.
It is an elevated practice of unique experiences, profound connections, and passionate community. Our principles are simple: your practice should be expansive, instructive, and lots of fun, ensuring each journey into your hammock opens up new inquiries of self-exploration and personal growth. This Aerial Yoga Teacher Training course will give you the tools and the inspiration to confidently teach Aerial Yoga.
It can be attended as a stand-alone course or as an optional module on our 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training program. Upon completion you will receive a YACEP completion certificate, which you can register with Yoga Alliance.

Course Description
Learn the fundamentals of teaching aerial yoga including basic principles and safety as well as sequencing and restorative uses. This comprehensive training gives you the skills to confidently plan and theme classes and is structured to allow for continued development and support.
Inversion or handstand, what’s the benefit of inversion? Divine Yoga blends the mental and physical, leaving you feeling elevated inside and out. When you spend your time hanging (safely) upside down, you’ll start to realize that most things are a matter of perspective. Where other home workouts are just a flex for your body, this practice yields countless benefits for both your body and mind.
Deep Shavasana and meditative practices in your hammock add a benefit to your practice because of the way gravity interacts with your body. Gravity has become a new methodology for cultivating calm, increasing brain functionality, reducing depression and anxiety, and leading to an increased sense of overall wellness and satisfaction. Our unique hammock system allows you to combine your yoga practice with the benefits of a float experience as you defy gravity, and melt into the horizon of your mind. Aerial Yoga is the fun way to access the pure joy and excitement that floating in your hammock.
Divine Yoga is the only dedicated Aerial studio in Nepal and we have created a teacher training program to suit your needs as a teacher. It is a great privilege to be able to teach a practice characterized by pleasure, lightness, spontaneity, presence and freedom of movement right here in Kathmandu Nepal.
Finally, we desire that our course graduates will be ready and able to immediately and competently teach safe, enjoyable, and comprehensive classes without the need to undertake multiple various bridging courses to fill gaps in one’s knowledge
