Aerial teacher training

September 25–27, 2026

Friday, Saturday, Sunday · 12:00–5:00 PM · Yoga Loft Tampa. Taught by Jess Miller of Gyp Sea Air. $800 ($650 early bird). You need a yoga teacher training certificate to enroll.

Friday. Rigging and safety — Basics of aerial practice — how the silk is hung, how it fails, and how you do not.
Saturday. Restorative aerial — Poses and sequencing for a restorative hammock class. People come for this more than the inversions.
Sunday. The rest of the class — Remaining poses, transitions, and a 60-minute class you can actually teach on Monday.

Benefits of becoming an aerial teacher

Studios actually need this
Mat teachers are common. Teachers who can safely hang eight people in silk are not. You leave with a skill a loft can put on the schedule.
You learn the wraps, not just the poses
How to get someone in, how to get them out, what to do when a wrist is angry. Cueing from the floor is a different job than doing the pose yourself.
Safer inversions for more bodies
Plenty of students will never kick up a handstand. They will go upside down in a hammock if you know how to hold them. That is a class you can fill.
Shoulders, neck, and what not to do
Aerial has a short list of ways to hurt people. Training is mostly that list, plus the sequences that stay this side of it.
A second room in your teaching
You can run mat and hammock. Private sessions, sound bath, intro packs — the silk is a reason people book who would skip another vinyasa.
You already know the loft
Same eight hammocks, same Ybor room. Jess Miller of Gyp Sea Air teaches the September weekend here — not a hotel ballroom with rented silks.

Curriculum

Philosophy

Gita, Upanishads, Yoga Sutras — enough to teach from, not a dissertation.

Chakras

Seven centers, linked to asana and how you actually sequence a class.

Anatomy

Physical and subtle body, so you can cue without guessing.

Asana

Standing, seated, twists, arm balances, inversions, backbends — broken down.

Pranayama & meditation

Breath and stillness as skills, not afterthoughts.

Aerial

The hammock as a teaching prop. Optional add-on inside the same twelve weekends.

You do not need a perfect practice to enroll. You will teach a full class at the end, with notes from faculty and peers. Payment plan available after the $400 deposit.
