Swaha Aerial Yoga Teacher Training

Swaha Aerial Yoga is Greece’s original Aerial Yoga school, founded by Tanya Popovich, the first certified Aerial Yoga teacher in Athens. Since bringing Aerial Yoga to Greece in 2010, Tanya has been leading internationally recognized Aerial Yoga Teacher Trainings for over 15 years, with programs held in Athens, Thessaloniki, Crete, Cyprus, Turkey, Finland, Germany, Malaysia, Singapore, Bali, Thailand, India and more recently Sri Lanka. With over 2,000 graduates worldwide, many have gone on to lead their own teacher training programs, while others are now part of our international team, teaching Swaha Yoga trainings across the globe.

This transformative training offers a comprehensive and in-depth curriculum that prepares you to teach Aerial Yoga safely, confidently, and creatively—from beginner to advanced levels.

Throughout the training, you will dive into creative and intelligent sequencing for all levels, from beginner to advanced, while learning how to offer hands-on assists and apply essential safety protocols with clarity and confidence. You will explore breath and alignment in the air, advanced transitions, and dynamic flow techniques, alongside aerial-specific warm-ups, pose breakdown, and progressive sequencing. The training covers beginner, intermediate, and advanced postures, as well as flow creation, final relaxation in the hammock, and safe, supportive space-holding—both on the ground and above it. Special attention is given to variations for injuries, adaptations for physical challenges, and dealing with sensitive situations, while also ensuring you understand the full spectrum of equipment safety and rigging principles.

Location, Accommodation, and Food

Known as the “Jewel of the Indian Ocean,” the stunning and exotic island country of Sri Lanka has it all. A tropical paradise where ancient wonders meet breath taking landscapes, the South Asian country boasts everything from diverse wildlife, palm tree lined beaches, warm crystal blue water and some of the world’s most highly rated surf breaks, to miles of rice paddy fields, lush tropical jungle, and mountainous terrain that will leave you spellbound. Nestled on the East Coast in Arugam Bay, our training venue, Hideaway, is a luxurious and quaint resort just across from the ocean. It features a beautiful open air Yoga Shala, fresh water swimming pool, and a massage spa. A short distance from Luhugala National Park, Kumana National Park, Kudumbigala Monastery and many other attractive sight-seeing and spiritual destinations, Hideaway offers an atmosphere that is welcoming, luxurious, and intentionally designed, all the while surrounded by nature. Cuisine at Hideaway is an experience in itself. Renowned for miles around, it delivers some of the finest gastronomic encounters on the island, courtesy of Sharon and her skilled team who carefully source fresh, local ingredients. A healthy breakfast, dinner and afternoon snack are included in the price of your accommodation and training. This is considered full board as meals are rich and in sufficient proportions and timings for the purposes of a Yoga Teacher Training.

February is the end of the monsoon season on the East Coast and intermittent rain is still expected.
