The deepest aerial training we run

100-Hour Aerial Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India

Twelve days and twice the contact hours. Everything in the 50-hour syllabus, then advanced inversions and transitions, therapeutic and restorative work in the hammock, rigging in depth, and a teaching practicum long enough to change how you teach.

What the 100-hour training is

Twelve days in Tapovan, Rishikesh, and twice the contact hours of the short course. It contains the entire 50-hour syllabus — so you do not need to have taken that one first — and then keeps going where the shorter training stops.

The extra hours go where they matter: multi-point wraps and controlled drops, transitions that actually link, and the anatomy of loading a shoulder or a hip in fabric rather than on a mat. A full module covers adapting the hammock for stiff backs, limited mobility and larger bodies, which describes most of the people who will walk into your class.

The other difference is practicum time. Over twelve days you teach full-length classes to your peers, more than once, and get worked over afterwards — which is why graduates of this course walk into a studio sounding like they have been teaching for a year.

Duration: 12 Days

Why aerial is worth training in

Experience the magic of aerial yoga — also known as flying yoga, hammock yoga or anti-gravity yoga — in the spiritual heart of Rishikesh. This 12-day, 100-hour training is the deeper of the two: the same specialty, with the time to actually teach it rather than only practise it.

Aerial yoga combines traditional asana, Pilates and dance using a soft fabric hammock suspended from the ceiling. The hammock lets you explore inversions safely, decompress the spine, build real strength and feel what it is like to fly — and it gives you something to offer that most mat-yoga teachers cannot.

No prior aerial experience is required. The extra week buys you supervised practicum hours, sequencing for mixed-ability rooms, hands-on adjustment in the hammock, and the rigging and business detail a studio owner needs. By the end you will have taught aerial classes, not just attended them.

What aerial yoga actually is

Aerial yoga — also called hammock yoga or anti-gravity yoga — hangs a strong, low-stretch fabric from a rated ceiling point or a free-standing frame. The hammock is a prop, not an apparatus: you use it to get into yoga postures, inversions and flows that are difficult or impossible to hold on a mat alone.

The difference from mat practice is where the weight goes. The fabric spreads load across a wide surface instead of stacking it into wrists, shoulders and neck, which is why deep hip openers and backbends open up sooner, and why someone can be safely upside down in their first session without the upper-body strength a headstand demands.

Hammock yoga

Low, close to the ground, and mostly supported. Restorative holds and passive stretches, with the fabric doing the work. This is where every beginner starts and where therapeutic aerial lives.

Aerial yoga

The hammock at hip height and above, blending yoga asana with elements of Pilates and dance. Dynamic, inverted, and the style this training is built around.

Aerial arts and silks

A circus discipline: climbs, wraps and drops high above the floor. Related, but not what we teach — aerial yoga stays grounded in yoga and stays open to people who are not gymnasts.

What the hammock does for a body

The reasons students keep coming back, and the ones you will be explaining in your own classes.

Spinal decompression

Hanging lets gravity lengthen the spine instead of compressing it. The traction opens space between vertebrae, which is why people who sit at a desk all week describe their first inversion as relief rather than exercise.

Inversions made accessible

The fabric cradles the pelvis and takes the bodyweight, so a student gets the circulatory and nervous-system effects of being upside down without loading the neck or wrists at all.

Core strength and stability

An unstable surface recruits the deep stabilisers constantly. Every aerial posture is quietly a core exercise, which is why people leave stronger without ever being asked to do a sit-up.

Better body awareness

Moving through three dimensions, often without seeing the floor, builds proprioception faster than mat practice does. Balance and coordination improve on the ground as a side effect.

Stress relief, and play

Swinging and being held activates the parasympathetic system. Aerial is also, plainly, fun — which lowers the barrier to practising regularly far more reliably than discipline does.

Deep, sustained flexibility

The hammock supports long passive holds through the hip flexors, hamstrings and thoracic spine at ranges a mat cannot reach — and that range transfers back to mat practice.

Safety and what your body needs to be able to do

Aerial is safe when it is practised and taught properly. Here is what that means for you now, and what you will be teaching your own students later.

Physical readiness

Generally good health, with no acute musculoskeletal injury
Able to take your bodyweight through your arms for short periods
No unstable joints, recent surgery or severe spinal condition — ask your doctor if you are unsure
Glaucoma, uncontrolled high blood pressure and pregnancy are the usual contraindications to full inversion; modifications exist for all three
A willingness to be upside down, which the week builds up to gradually rather than demanding on day one

Equipment safety principles

Fabric is inspected before every single class — fraying, discolouration, worn seams
Carabiners and swivels must be load-rated and tested; decorative hardware has no place on a rig
Ceiling attachments need structural sign-off, because dynamic load far exceeds static bodyweight
Ceiling height has to suit the style being taught; the minimum changes with the practice
Hammock points are spaced so that two students cannot make contact mid-practice

This matters: The moment you teach aerial, you are responsible for someone else every time you hang a hammock. This training covers contraindications, screening, spotter position, and what to do when a student loses their grip — so you finish it able to run a class safely rather than hopefully.

Who this training is for

No aerial experience is required. These are the people who do well here.

Yoga teachers

Registered teachers who want something on the schedule that the studio down the road does not have. A hammock class is the clearest differentiator available in a very crowded mat market.

Committed practitioners

People who have plateaued in flexibility or grown bored of the same sequence, and want a physical and creative problem that is genuinely new.

Fitness professionals

Personal trainers, Pilates teachers and dancers who want suspension work in their toolkit and a route into the aerial side of the wellness market.

Studio owners

Anyone planning to add aerial to a space, or open one around it. The business module covers equipment, installation, insurance and pricing in practical detail.

Complete beginners

Curious people with no teaching background at all. The training starts from the ground — literally — and assumes nothing.

Therapists and bodyworkers

Physiotherapists, chiropractors and movement therapists interested in suspension as a modality for decompression and mobility work.

Every price is per person and covers your room for the whole course, three sattvic meals a day, use of all hammocks and rigging, your course manual, and your certificate.

Putting aerial into a studio

Aerial is one of the most searched specialty disciplines in yoga, and the economics are unusual: because rigging points physically cap the class size, scarcity is built into the format. Small classes, premium pricing and a waiting list are the normal state of a working aerial programme rather than something you have to engineer.

The real investment is structural, not decorative. Ceiling load capacity, rigging hardware and fabric are where the money goes, and each of them has a right answer. The business module walks through assessing a space, sourcing from manufacturers who publish load ratings, getting an engineer to sign off, and writing a waiver and screening process that stands up.

It also films well, which matters more than it should. One well-lit aerial class produces more usable social content than a month of mat classes. Graduates leave with guidance on positioning the offering and on structuring multi-week foundation courses, which is what turns a novelty class into a community that returns.

A studio in Rishikesh with rows of aerial hammocks hanging from the ceiling rig

Sourcing equipment

Choosing fabric weight and hardware specification, and which suppliers publish real load ratings — so the first thing you buy is not the first thing you replace.

Insurance and liability

The cover categories that apply to aerial teaching, student waivers, and the health screening that protects the student and you at the same time.

Class design and pricing

Structuring beginner, foundation and intermediate courses, setting a price that reflects a capped class, and building a schedule that sustains itself.

“Today I did my first aerial class. Without any previous yoga experience I can say I felt very welcomed by the teacher. She was great, guiding us through the session matching all of the participants levels individually. What a great experience, thank you.”

“I had an incredible experience at Swaastik Yog School during the June batch, where I completed both the 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training and the Aerial Yoga Teacher Training. The entire journey was well-structured, inspiring, and transformative. The teachers were highly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely dedicated to every student’s growth. The 200-hour TTC covered yoga philosophy, anatomy, alignment, pranayama, meditation, and teaching methodology in depth, while the Aerial Yoga course was fun, safe, and professionally taught, helping me build confidence with every practice. The peaceful atmosphere, delicious sattvic meals, and supportive community made me feel at home throughout the course. Every day brought new learning, personal growth, and meaningful connections with students from different parts of the world.🌺 I am deeply grateful to the entire Swaastik Yog School team for creating such a positive and authentic learning environment. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a genuine yoga education, whether you’re beginning your journey or advancing your practice. Thank you for making my June training such a memorable and life-changing experience!💗☺☺🙏🙏”

“Saawstik is an amazing school for those looking to learn in a safe and non predatory environment. The master teacher is a woman and it’s female owned- maybe the only or one of the only places like this in Rishikesh. The classes are very good and I deeply enjoyed doing my Aerial TTC as well as my 200H course here. I found that after some time, the staff and faculty became like family and the food was made vegan and even non spicy for us upon request. It’s affordable and fair; meaning this is more yoga practice and less of a business to make money and just hand out certificates. It was a big contrast to several other schools we scouted before choosing. I’m grateful that I chose to come here.”

“I attended an aerial yoga workshop and a healing session. Both were amazing. I enjoyed, learned, and healed. The place was comfortable, and the trainer, Mayuri, was very supportive. Everything was so good — it was an amazing experience I can't forget. All thanks to Mayuri, who created a space where everyone could feel comfortable and perform their best. Worth it❤️”

“I recently completed my training at Swastik Yoga School in Rishikesh and had a really positive experience. As a beginner, I learned Hatha, Ashtanga, and even Aerial yoga in a very supportive environment. My teachers, Mayuri and Rahul, were knowledgeable, patient, and truly dedicated. I’ve already started seeing positive changes in my body, flexibility, and overall strength. The school is also great for a multicultural experience, with students coming from all around the world, which made learning even more enriching. Grateful for the journey and highly recommend it to anyone starting or deepening their yoga practice.”

“wow.. i have made family, friends and home at Swastik! And learning yoga the correct way - from local Indians the right way (the Indian way). I would take this course over again! But instead - I’ll come for the 500hour YTT next year 🤲🏼😃 i have no words to describe how the 200h YTT has left me. Not only was it a physical and emotional transformative experience, it helped me to transcend my persona and I believe I have made lifelong friends thanks to the March 2026 batch. Mayuri has made Swaastik a place that pulls you in and makes you want to practice more, challenge yourself and see where the yoga journey will help you. Rahul-ji’s calm but knowledgable hatha yoga sessions will also make you sweat, huff and puff but be very very grateful for it all afterwards. Thank you so much and I definitely recommend taking your yoga course here!! Be it yoga teacher training, sound healing course or aerial yoga! I think if you come to Swaastik with an open mind and heart, ready to learn about yoga and push yourself a little bit of it - it will be the best experience for you! Breathwork & Sound Bath with Flor - I also experienced this during my time in Swaastik Yogschool. It was a truly tranformative experience! I felt sensations and emotions I have not otherwise felt before and thanks to the facilitator Flor - she opened up this new world for me. I am grateful for her calm and down to earth approach, which immensely helped me to feel comfortable and not worried, since I was a bit stressed cuz it was my first time trying something like this. I recommend this to anyone who’s around in Rishikesh and wants to try something new for their spirituality :)”

The certificate you leave with

Finish the training and you receive an aerial yoga specialty certificate issued under YACEP — Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider. If you are already a registered teacher, the contact hours count towards your continuing education requirement.

This is deliberately not described as an RYS credential. RYS registration applies to 200, 300 and 500-hour programmes; a 50- or 100-hour specialty training is certified under YACEP, and any school telling you otherwise is describing something that does not exist.

Part of Swaastik Yog School

One school — with a home of its own for aerial

Aerial Rishikesh is the aerial programme of Swaastik Yog School. Same campus, same teachers, same team on WhatsApp. This site exists so aerial gets the full attention a 50- or 100-hour specialist training deserves, instead of being one line on a long course menu.

Same campus

Every training runs at the Swaastik Yog School campus on Badrinath Road in Tapovan, Rishikesh — the same hall, rooms and kitchen.

Same teachers

Mayuri Shewale and Priya Sharma lead the aerial trainings, and both teach on Swaastik Yog School courses too.

Questions people ask before booking

How long are the aerial teacher trainings and what do they cost?

We run two aerial teacher trainings in Tapovan, Rishikesh. Every price is all-inclusive of accommodation, meals, course materials and certification, and is quoted per room type:

50-Hour Aerial YTT — 7 days, starting every Monday. Dormitory $195, Shared room $385, Private room $550.
100-Hour Aerial YTT — 12 days, starting the 17th of each month. Dormitory $390, Shared room $770, Private room $1,100.

Both are led by Mayuri Shewale (E-RYT 500, founder) with Priya Sharma (RYT 500, aerial specialist).

When do the batches start?

The 50-Hour Aerial YTT starts every Monday and runs Monday to Sunday, so there is almost always a batch within a week of when you want to arrive. The 100-Hour Aerial YTT starts on the 17th of each month and runs for 12 days. Upcoming dates are listed on each course page and roll forward automatically.

What is the difference between the 50-hour and the 100-hour training?

The 50-Hour is a 7-day intensive: hammock fundamentals, rigging and safety, the core aerial asana vocabulary, and enough sequencing to teach a beginner class confidently.

The 100-Hour runs 12 days and doubles the contact hours. It covers everything in the 50-hour and then goes further into aerial anatomy, advanced inversions and transitions, restorative and yin work in the hammock, therapeutic applications, and a much longer teaching practicum with supervised feedback.

Choose the 50-hour if you want a specialty to add to an existing teaching practice. Choose the 100-hour if aerial is going to be the thing you actually build a schedule or a studio around.

What does the 100-Hour Aerial YTT add?

The 12-day 100-Hour training includes the whole 50-hour syllabus and then builds on it:

Advanced inversions and transitions: multi-point wraps, controlled drops and linking sequences
Deeper aerial anatomy: spinal decompression, shoulder and hip mechanics under load, contraindications
Aerial restorative and yin: long-hold supported work and cocoon sequences
Therapeutic applications: adapting the hammock for stiff backs, limited mobility and larger bodies
Extended teaching practicum: teaching full classes to your peers with supervised feedback
Rigging in depth: hardware, load ratings, and assessing whether a space can safely take a rig

Do I need a prior yoga teacher certification to enrol?

No prior teaching certification is required. The trainings are open to anyone with a genuine interest in aerial yoga — certified teachers adding a specialty, fitness professionals expanding their range, or dedicated practitioners who want to teach. A basic understanding of yoga postures and terminology will help, but both courses start from fundamentals and build progressively.

What certification do I receive?

You receive an Aerial Yoga Teacher Training certificate for the hours you complete — 50 or 100. These are continuing-education programmes certified under YACEP (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider), so if you are already a registered teacher the hours count toward your Yoga Alliance continuing-education requirement.

To be clear about what this is and is not: RYS designations apply to 200-, 300- and 500-hour foundational trainings. A 50- or 100-hour aerial specialty is a YACEP credential, not an RYS one. Anyone advertising a 50-hour course as "RYS certified" is describing it wrongly.

What is included in the fee?

The fee is all-inclusive for the length of the course: accommodation in your chosen room type (dormitory, shared room or private room), daily sattvic meals, use of all hammocks and rigging equipment, course materials, and your certificate. Flights, visa, travel insurance and personal expenses are not included.

Can I do the 50-hour first and come back for the 100-hour later?

Yes. Many students take the 7-day 50-hour training first to see whether aerial suits them and their body, then return for the 100-hour once they have taught a few classes and know what they still need. There is no deadline for coming back. Get in touch before you book the second training and we will tell you what carries over.

Is there a weight limit for the aerial hammock?

Our professional-grade aerial silks and rigging are rated to hold up to 2,000 lbs (900 kg). They are secure for all body types. Every rig point is checked before each session as part of the safety protocol you will also be taught to run yourself.

Are there medical conditions that would stop me from doing aerial yoga?

Some conditions need caution or medical clearance before you practise aerial:

Pregnancy: aerial yoga is not recommended during pregnancy
Glaucoma or other eye conditions: inversions raise eye pressure
Recent surgery: particularly abdominal, spinal or joint surgery
Uncontrolled high blood pressure: inversions affect blood pressure
Heart conditions: consult your cardiologist first
Inner-ear conditions: these can affect balance during aerial movement

If you have any health concerns, speak to your doctor and tell us during registration. Our teachers are trained to offer modifications wherever it is safe to do so.

Not sure which one?

The 50-hour is a specialty you can add to a practice you already have. The 100-hour is what you take if aerial is going to be the thing you build a schedule around.

Compare with the 50-Hour training
