Yes – and we recommend it: ideally you come to the training with at least 10 fl'AIR Yoga or aerial yoga classes of experience.

Largely, yes – aerial yoga, flying yoga, fly yoga and air yoga are different names for yoga practised with a fabric hammock suspended from the ceiling, which supports you in poses, stretches and inversions. Each school or brand has its own method and sequences. fl'AIR Yoga is our own method, created by Keeva Treanor and Iga Kowalczyk – and our teacher training certifies you to teach it.

The training takes place in person at Fl'air Studios in Berlin-Mitte, Holzmarktstraße 15–18 (S-Bahnbögen 51–53), right by Jannowitzbrücke station. It isn't offered online, because hands-on assists, spotting and real teaching practice in the hammock are at the heart of the five days. Travel, accommodation and food are not included.

The training is led by the fl'AIR Yoga founders, Keeva Treanor and Iga Kowalczyk. Keeva – known as the aerialist "Air Candy" and co-founder of Fl'air Studios – is a ballet-trained performer who completed the teacher training programme at the École Nationale de Cirque in Montreal; Iga is a former professional ballet dancer, yoga teacher and lead instructor of the training.
