There is a huge difference between Aerial hammock and Aerial yoga. 
You do not want to get the two confused…
and you’re definitely going to want your classes labeled correctly otherwise you might get students coming to classes that they’re not ready for.
Aerial hammock is dancing and doing tricks in the air on an aerial apparatus called a hammock.
Aerial Yoga (aka hammock yoga) is yoga poses using a Aerial hammock as a yoga prop, you can use the hammock to make postures easier or more challenging it just depends on how you use it. Ultimately the aerial hammock for yoga can make Yoga safer and more accessible but it’s simply a prop for yoga postures when doing a aerial yoga.
My brand AIReal Yoga @airealyoga is a leading brand of aerial yoga.  AIReal Yoga was the first aerial yoga teacher training program recognized by the Yoga Alliance. 

Hopefully this helps to clear things up😊

Fun Fact Friday 💛

Did you know AIReal Yoga® was the first aerial yoga teacher-training method using a hammock to be recognized by Yoga Alliance?

The hammock is our prop. Yoga is our foundation.

Our approach brings breath, alignment, and mindful movement into the hammock—helping students explore their practice and teachers learn how to guide them with care.

A little piece of AIReal Yoga history we’re proud to share. ✨

This is my WHY. 🤍 Comment Class to book 

I was born with scoliosis, and I live with a 30° curve and a raised rib hump on my right side. Finding ways to feel better in my body led me to Aireal Yoga. @airealyoga 

This video shows how different my alignment looks while I’m supported upside down. Within minutes, I feel a gentle stretch, more space, and relief from tension and aches. Consistency is everything—this practice is part of how I care for my body every day.Thank you @airealyoga @carmencurtis1 for my master training. it’s been 10 years now that I’ve been training with you and all your beautiful programs.

As an aesthetician and yoga teacher, I combined my two passions to create Flow & Glow Studio: caring for your skin while helping you build strength, flexibility, balance, and confidence in your body.

We don’t spend the entire class upside down! Aireal Yoga blends stretching, strengthening, and balancing. Our classes are beginner friendly, and private lessons are available. We also offer Air Pilates and Therapeutic Stretch.

✨ Aireal Yoga Spa Parties bring these experiences together! Gather your friends for movement, laughter, and relaxation. Add facials, massages, sound healing, or Reiki— Comment Tools to see website

Blanca offers beautiful sound baths to make your celebration even more special @the.wild_goddess

That deeper reach may not actually be coming from your shoulders.

When movement becomes challenging, we may shrug, lock the elbows, grip through the neck or move the ribs and spine to compensate—often without realizing it.

This class began with a request from one of our members, who is also an aerial yoga teacher.

In my new class, Strong & Spacious Shoulders, we use the hammock to build shoulder strength, stability, mobility and awareness.

Created for students and teachers, it includes a full-length practice, an educational discussion and a downloadable lesson plan.

Members, your new class is ready. Not a member? Explore the AIReal Yoga® membership through the link in my bio.

What would you like me to teach next?

One of my favorite things is hearing directly from our members about the classes that would support their practice—whether that’s a shorter class, a longer practice, a specific pose, a variation, mobility, strength or restoration.

Your suggestions genuinely help me decide what to film next. Leave your requests in the comments or send me a message. I’m listening! 🤍

Can an advanced AIReal Yoga® practitioner enter Warrior III Front Assist directly from standing? 
Yes—with enough strength, balance, body awareness, and muscle memory, it can be done with control.

But it isn’t how I teach beginners.

When we place our hands into the hammock, there is an instinctive desire to press down, transfer weight into our hands, and shift forward. If a student isn’t prepared for that pull, their center of weight can travel too far forward. They may begin sinking into the hammock, shoulders, standing knee, or ankle while losing the alignment they were trying to find.

The hammock is not meant to pull us out of the pose or become somewhere we collapse. In this posture, it provides feedback and light support so we can slow down, understand the alignment, organize the body, and experience better balance.

That’s why I teach students to:

✨ Hinge with both feet grounded
✨ Bring the hands into the hammock with light pressure
✨ Establish the standing foot, leg, pelvis, and core
✨ Lift the back leg only after finding stability

It may look like a small change, but the way we enter a posture shapes how we experience it. The goal isn’t simply to arrive in Warrior III—it’s to understand how we got there and remain in control.

Foundation before elevation. Organization before force. Awareness before achievement.

Save this for your next practice or share it with an aerial yoga teacher. 💙

Want to explore more?  You can practice with me inside the AIReal Yoga® Online Class Membership through the link in bio.  Or book a private lesson.  Or even better take an immersion or training.

What if feeling restored wasn’t something you had to wait for-but something you could learn?

Aireal restore is a 15 hour immersive digital training designed to help you release tension, decompress the body, regulate the nervous system, and experience rest as an intentional practice.

Move through the training at your own pace and return to it whenever your body needs support-with lifetime access.

For teachers, it offers restorative tools you can bring into your classes. 
For students, it’s an opportunity to deepen your own practice and create more space for recovery, balance, and renewal.

Your body doesn’t have to earn rest. It just needs the opportunity to receive it.

Learn more through the link in my bio, and I will also link it in my stories.

The Why Behind the Practice:
Floating Savasana

Most people think the benefits of yoga come from stretching, strengthening, or learning new poses.

Those are certainly part of the practice.

But at AIReal Yoga, I also teach the why behind each movement.

Why we breathe the way we do.

Why we move the way we do.

And why stillness is just as important as movement.

Floating Savasana isn’t simply the end of class.

It’s an opportunity to slow your breath, quiet your mind, and give your body and nervous system time to settle into everything you’ve just experienced.

Because understanding why we practice often changes how we practice.

✨ Let yourself let go.
✨ Let the hammock hold you.
✨ You are safe.
✨ You are light.
✨ You are loved.

🤍 Carmen
