Program Overview

Om Factory’s 100-Hour Aerial Yoga Teacher Training (AYTT) is intended to provide the trainee necessary tools to lead safe, intelligent and dynamic Aerial Yoga classes. Dedicated students looking to deepen their knowledge and take their practice to a new level are also welcome to participate.

Om Factory’s particular style of Aerial Yoga was developed over several years by its Core Aerial Faculty and continues to be shaped by our aerial community. It is heavily rooted in and inspired by a traditional yoga practice. Despite the eye-catching glitz of circus-inspired acrobatics, yoga is our meat & potatoes; circus is dessert. We are not looking to produce clones of our faculty; rather, our aim is to empower trainees to find their own unique methodology in teaching.

Graduation requirements include present attendance at all in-class hours of training and satisfactory completion of a practical teaching exam and a written test.

Upon satisfying of graduation requirements, trainees will start to work on their 50h Apprenticeship Training. This program builds a bridge from training, towards actualizing skills and beginning to teach class. Apprenticeship provide a framework for teachers to strengthen their teaching voice, clarify their cueing, gain practical experience in class assisting & teaching students, and receive feedback from mentor which to ensure trainee well equipped to teach.
