After having held 14 Aerial Yoga Teacher Trainings, Sisse is proud and excited to present the first Advanced Aerial Yoga Teacher Training in Denmark. It is open to Aerial Yoga teachers from any school, or advanced aerial students. In this training, we will be going deeper into Tricks, Flips and Flow, and how to teach it with safety and fun, so that you can feel confident and inspired teaching classes. At the new venue The Rehab, we have 4,5 m. ceilings and plenty of space to play.

 

Flow

Flowing through the hammock is just amazing, there is no better feeling. But Flow in Aerial yoga can feel a lot harder to do, than in fx. Vinyasa. In this training we will work on how to sequence a good flow, and build it up so the students enjoy it, and don't get a headache. Many little parts go into a good aerial flow, and the progressions, supporting poses, and build up, are all super important.

Adding dance elements to the flow can feel out of the comfort zone for many of us, however, in order to create balance and breaks in an advanced flow, adding dance moves is a great idea. Getting over the awkwardness with dancy elements is wonderful, and you get to a point where the arms, pointy toes and backbends all add to the flowy feeling (as well as improving your flexibility).

 

Tricks and Flips

We are going to go deeper into tricks and flips, how to teach them safely, and in a way that encourages and empowers your students. The progressions are incredibly important, you really can't skip a step in advanced aerial yoga. You will learn specific progression for forward flips, back flips, climbing higher and flipping and how to spot them, using hand-on adjustments. Having a system and a deeper understanding of the biomechanics of flipping, is invaluable when you are teaching it.

What do you want to work on? You will bring tricks from Youtube or Instagram, that are challenging for you, and we will work on them together and learn them (if they are realistic for your body).

 

Sequencing for Intermediate and Advanced classes

Sequencing for advanced classes is different than for beginner level. You can start doing inversions right away, in fact, your students probably crave it when they enter class. Your students will need more conditioning, and you must do a thorough warm-up. Mixing the strengthening with the relaxing, the fun with the functional, in a balanced way, takes a lot of consideration and skill. Keeping the classes fresh, requires variation and themes. We will work from templates that makes sure your classes are well-rounded and keep the students coming.

 

Flexibility and Strength

Improving flexibility is always fun, and you will learn how to do this effectively and safely by using modern methods focusing on the nervous system. We will use skills from contortion and mobility and do a lot of active stretching, sneaky strength training and proper technique. Sisse has been deep into functional yoga for many years and knows all the tricks. (Btw. she is NOT naturally flexible, all that splits action is from functional yoga).

Obviously, working in the hammock on an advanced level requires strength, and you will leave with a program to improve your strength and flexibility going forward.

Teacher:

Sisse Siegumfeldt has been teaching yoga since 2005 and has multiple Yoga Teacher Trainings, Childrens Yoga TT, Aerial Yoga TT, Mindfulness and courses. She also has a shady past as a circus princess. She has written the books "Yoga – 15 minutes a day" (Gyldendal 2013) and "Yoga for children - and their adults" (Gyldendal 2015). "The first time I tried Aerial Yoga it was to try this new gimmick with yoga in a hammock. I thought it would be fun and would not have imagined that I would be weeping like a child in the hammock at the end of class. Aerial yoga is more than just fun, it's deeply releasing and profoundly transformative, and true yoga. I love it."
