During this program you’ll be under his guidance; he will push you beyond the basics of poses and will make sure you master the complex movements of this style.

Yoga Hall & Safety

  • Heavy Load Capacity: We run our 85 hour aerial yoga ttc program in our recently built modern building, during construction, we made sure that the aerial hall is specifically engineered with structural reinforcements which can support all aerial equipment and heavy loads or tension.
  • High Clearance: Aerial yoga requires a lot of vertical space, which is needed for moving up while wrapping and for the drops. Our hall has the vertical space of more than 15 feet, which gives students plenty of room for the full range of movement without the restriction of low hanging points.
  • Industrial Grade Rigging: When it comes to safety, rigging in the aerial yoga is non-negotiable, so during the program we make sure that every anchor point and hardware component that keeps it together meets load bearing standards to ensure complete safety during practice.

Standards & Location

  • Small Group : We take maximum 12 students per batch as it ensure that every student has their own dedicated hammock and receives direct  hands on corrections from the Arjun ji.
  • Track Record: In past years we have trained hundreds of students from across the globe, and become one of the best destination for aerial yoga education in Rishikesh.
  • Perfect Location: Our school provides a quiet and focused atmosphere for study, yet it is located just a short walk from the markets, cafes and all necessities.

Excursion Included In This Course

There is a need for some downtime during the Aerial Yoga training as well. We put together excursions to the Rishikesh’s natural and spiritual places, such as waterfalls, river beaches, temples, caves and sunrise points in the mountain, so our students can relax on sundays and get a feel for Rishikesh.

Those on the 50 Hour Teacher Training will have one such excursion to look forward to over the course of their studies and participants in the 85 Hour program will out on excursion twice. It is a chance to step away from the rigours schedule, and while enjoying the peace and beauty of the place it gives chance to make some connections with the fellow practitioners as well.

Answers of Most asked QUESTIONS

Frequent Asked Questions

Absolutely. You do not need background acrobatics or advanced flexibility to start. Our course breaks down the fundamentals from the ground up, teaching you how to trust the fabric, manage your weight distribution, and progress at a pace that feels secure and controlled.

Yes, many people with a fear of heights have successfully practiced aerial yoga. The practice takes place close to the ground, and the height can be gradually increased as one becomes more comfortable. The supportive nature of the hammock creates a feeling of security and allows individuals to build trust in their own body and the equipment. Instructors are trained to create a safe and nurturing environment, offering guidance and reassurance throughout the practice.

Yes. Our aerial hammocks are rigged using industrial-grade, professional equipment designed to support dynamic heavy loads safely. The fabric acts as a supportive tool rather than a restriction, helping to relieve pressure on your joints and making deep stretches more accessible for every body size.

While traditional yoga has lots of benefits, the suspended hammock allows you to experience passive decompression of the spine, particularly during inversions. It deepens your flexibility by utilizing gravity, builds upper body and grip strength, and provides unique therapeutic support that mat based practices cannot replicate.

We recommend form fitting clothing that covers your armpits and the backs of your knees, such as leggings and a snug t-shirt. This protects your skin from fabric friction and prevents the hammock from shifting. Please avoid wearing any clothing with zippers, buttons, or jewelry, as these can easily snag and damage the delicate silk.
