Aerial Pilates: The Next Evolution in Movement, Fitness, and Teaching

Have you heard about Aerial Pilates?
It’s the groundbreaking blend of the Pilates method and principles with the artistry and freedom of aerial movement — all supported by an aerial hammock apparatus. More than just another fitness trend, Aerial Pilates is changing the way teachers, studios, and clients experience movement and it's worldwide.

I created Air Control Pilates® 10 years ago, so I've been teaching this method for over 13 years, training instructors in 15+ countries and building a thriving global community of teachers and studios.

If you’re searching for a way to:

• Differentiate your studio from the competition,

• Bring fresh inspiration to your teaching,

• Or discover a practice that combines strength, creativity, and joy...

✨ Aerial Pilates might just be your next step.

What Is Aerial Pilates?

Aerial Pilates uses a specially designed aerial hammock to support, challenge, and expand the Pilates method. The hammock acts as both a prop and a partner:

• Support -  It assists clients with inversions and acts as a second skin to guide and give intuitive feedback

• Challenge: It introduces instability and pseudo chain that builds strength, balance, and centre control and focus - also makes it fun!

• Creativity: It allows freedom of movement, play, and artistry — creating classes that are both powerful and fun.

This isn’t just “Pilates in the air.” It’s a fusion of precision and creativity, combining the best of both worlds.

Why Aerial Pilates Is Growing Globally

Since the pandemic, the fitness industry has seen a huge shift towards innovation and online training. Prior to 2020 I taught only Pilates teachers in-person.  I taught matwork online to Aerialists and they LOVED it - they were thirsty for more knowledge and information and excited about learning.  I knew they were already safe in the air so I launched the course online.  Both Pilates and Aerial have also grown steadily in popularity worldwide and now Aerial Pilates is the next wave.

Studios who offer Aerial Pilates are:

• Attracting new clients looking for unique, exciting experiences.

• Retaining existing members who want variety and progression.

• Building communities that thrive on creativity, fun, and support.

💬 “Hands down, one of the best things I’ve done for myself. The course was inspiring, easy to follow, and has lifted my teaching to a whole new level.” — Air Control Pilates Teacher
