Somatic Foundation Course

Aerial Yoga Somatic Foundations offers a structured, somatic approach to exploring yoga with a hammock. Through progressive modules, you’ll explore foundational supports, wraps, and sequences that build understanding rather than reliance on memorised shapes.
The emphasis is on learning how the hammock supports the body, how movement can be organised with choice and ease, and how these principles translate into both personal practice and teaching contexts.

How the course is presented

The course includes over 7 hours of video,  organised into nine core modules, each exploring sequences oriented around the placement of the hammock, including standing, kneeling, lying in and resting on the fabric. The modules build on one another, allowing understanding to deepen gradually rather than rushing toward outcomes.
You’ll explore:
● Wrist Wrap; Basic Hold; Resting Prayer – includes Cat, Cow, Cobra, Camel and Half Dog
● Rib support movements including chair and plank
● Hip hang (Down Dog variations)
● Pelvis wrap & inversions – including Pigeon variations
● Thigh support — leg sequences
● Back ankle and Front ankle support — leg sequences and floor work
● Whole foot support — standing in the fabric
● Inside-the-hammock sequences — lying fully supported, resting, integrating, and sensing from within

Alongside the modules, you’ll find:
● Sample classes (45–60 minutes)
● A dedicated section on teaching skills and somatic principles, relevant whether you’re working with others or refining your own discernment and clarity in practice

How to work with the material

This course is designed to be taken slowly and sequentially.
You’re invited to:
● watch each sequence in full before practising
● work through one module at a time
● allow the principles to land before moving on to the sample classes
This supports a deeper, more embodied understanding, one that doesn’t rely on memorisation, performance, or external validation.
All content is available with lifetime access, so you can return to the material as your relationship with the hammock evolves.

Somatic Lo Flo is an exploration of postures and sequences with the hammock hanging just inches above the floor. Working close to the ground allows the practice to feel both supported and spacious, combining somatic movement with elements of restorative yoga, yin yoga, and somatic meditation.
Movement is slow and unhurried. Sequences flow gently in and out of one another, often guided by breath to support both engagement and release. The hammock becomes a versatile companion: a place to sit inside, to rest onto, to fold over, to support a single area of the body, to assist inversions, and even to stand on, all while staying close to the floor.
Rather than pushing range or shape, the emphasis is on sensing, and allowing function to improve organically. Strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, trust, and confidence emerge as by-products of awareness, and, importantly, the practice remains playful and enjoyable.

Experiencing Lo Flo 

Through slow, supported movement and low-hammock exploration, you are guided in to:
● Sensory awareness: a clearer felt sense of your body
● Gentle decompression of joints and a sense of space through your spine
● Release of habitual holding, allowing energy to move more freely
● A growing sense of trust, confidence, and internal support
● Movement that feels easeful, coordinated, and responsive
● A quiet sense of wholeness and well-being that extends beyond the practice
These experiences emerge gradually, through attention and repetition, rather than effort or force.

Both courses are designed to work beautifully together.
While each course can be taken on its own, most people choose to explore both in order to experience aerial yoga as a complete, living practice; one that includes clarity and structure as well as softness, rest, and integration.
✸ Aerial Yoga Somatic Foundations offers the building blocks: clear ways of working with the hammock, understanding support, and developing confidence across a range of applications.
✸ Somatic Lo Flo brings us closer to the ground, slowing down, deepening sensations, and integrating through low-hammock work.
Together, they support:
✸ technical understanding and embodied listening
✸ active exploration and restorative nourishment
✸ confidence in structure and freedom in expression
If you’re drawn to aerial yoga as a long-term practice, whether for yourself or as part of your teaching, the bundle of both courses offers a wide, and varied landscape to explore.

Amanda has over 25 years of teaching experience, guiding individuals on their journeys of self-discovery and growth since 1997. 
“My background is diverse, including 11 years of teaching and practicing Raja Yoga meditation, which has deepened my understanding of mindfulness and inner peace. I spent 8 years as a secondary school teacher, navigating stressful environments and overwhelming workloads—experiences that have shaped my empathetic approach to teaching. Since 2007, I have been sharing the transformative power of movement through somatic practices, including dance, aerial yoga, and somatics. My passion lies in demystifying what may seem complex or ineffable, making it both understandable and reachable for everyone. Guided by my main mantra, “no right way,” I create an inviting and inclusive environment where exploration and self-expression are encouraged. I believe that life can be enjoyable, fun, easy, exciting, and magical when we slow down and recognise its gifts.
