It’s a 1-day live online workshop (with lifetime replay access) plus theory content that gives you the essential building blocks of Aerial Pilates: hammock safety, spotting, Pilates principles, and more. Think of it as your stepping stone into the Air Control Pilates® Teacher Training.
Is this course right for me?
Yes — if you’re curious about Aerial Pilates but not yet ready to commit to the full certification. It’s also perfect for Pilates or fitness teachers wanting CPD, or anyone who wants a safe, affordable way to explore the basics before leaping all in.
Do I need an aerial hammock at home?
Nope! While it’s great if you have one, you’ll still learn the key foundations through demonstrations, anatomy applications, and comparisons between matwork and hammock practice. You’ll gain clarity and confidence, whether you’re a teacher or a mover.
What if I can’t attend live?
No problem — you’ll get lifetime replay access to the full training. You can learn at your own pace, revisit the lessons as often as you like, and feel supported no matter your schedule.
