Sky Yoga Teacher Training January 2017

“If you want to fly, you have to give up the things that weigh you down” – Unknown.

Sky Yoga is a contemporary yoga style where traditional poses are performed with the aid of a fabric sling. Classes are fun, challenging and diverse. Inspired by the Vinyasa style of yoga, the poses flow in creative sequences, your relationship to gravity is altered, your awareness of balance and stability is heightened and your body is left stronger and more flexible.

This aerial form of yoga has grown in popularity world-wide since 2006 and was brought to South Africa by Carly Bowden after completing her training in New York in 2010.

The Sky Yoga teacher training will be facilitated by Carly Bowden (certified Yoga, Unnata Aerial Yoga and Pilates teacher) and Izelle Nair (certified Yoga and Sky Yoga teacher) at Earth Yoga Studio in Kyalami.

The training is limited to 10 students so you are guaranteed personal attention and time in the hammock to practice.

The course does not require any previous aerial experience but does demand a daily practical application of all postures covered so is physically demanding.
