What Constitutes an Unnata® Aerial Yoga Class

The Unnata method is a true yoga method which considers growth for all parts of our human experience – our bodies, minds, and spirits. It evolved out of traditional, millennia-old yoga practices, and empowers Unnata Aerial Yoga teachers to make a real difference in their students’ own lives.

Unnata teachers use the aerial yoga hammock in specific ways…

Unnata teachers will always:

  • Help students find healthy and neutral spinal alignment
  • Follow the sequencing logic of a traditional Hatha Yoga lineage
  • Follow a general pattern of “Relax/Release (Tension), Realign, Rebuild”
  • Help students understand how to practice Yoga Asanas even without the use of the aerial yoga hammock
  • Help students understand how to practice the mechanics of diaphragmatic breathing
  • Help balance/bring to neutral students’ autonomic nervous system
  • Help students understand any or all of the 8 limbs of Astanga Yoga as described in Patañjali’s Yoga Sutras

Unnata teachers will never:

  • Teach circus tricks which use the aerial yoga hammock to prevent the student from falling out of a dynamic “drop.”
  • Use the aerial yoga hammock at a height more than waist-distance from the floor, either through how the hammock is hung, or through teaching students to climb up the hammock
  • Use the aerial yoga hammock to wrap up the student further than waist-distance from the floor
