Spend a weekend with us in our beautiful studio in rural Wexford to learn & experience the full benefits and versatility of practicing Aerial Yoga.

During this 3 day workshop you will experience a variety of aerial yoga practices using both the Aerial Yoga Swing and the Aerial Yoga Hammock. 

You will have the opportunity to try full inversions and flow classes as well as deeply rejuvenating yin and restorative classes. 

You will also get to experience the feeling of deep relaxation in our blissful, floating yoga nidra classes.

As part of this event you will receive informal lectures on the history of Aerial Yoga, the many options for setting up your own rig at home or in a studio and we'll discuss the many health benefits and also the contraindications to be aware of when practicing.

So whether are interested in teaching, practicing or just curious about Aerial Yoga this is going to be the perfect weekend for you.

Aerial Yoga Tips:

Do not eat for approx 3 hours before a morning session (have an early breakfast) or if you do need something then choose a light snack that is easily digestible and have it as early as you can. This will help your performance and reduce the risk of feeling nauseous while training. Wear comfortable but slim fitting clothing. Limit or remove jewellery. Bring a bottle of water and your yoga mat, if you would prefer to use your own or would like to double up. However, mats will be provided by the studio. Limit or preferably no alcohol during the weekend especially if you haven't done inversions before. Hanging upside down with a hangover is not advised.
