This foundation course will provide an informed theoretical understanding of the mental and physical health benefits of the Aerial Hammock, the neurobiology of trauma and pain, and the role of creativity and flow-state experiences in healing.
AERIAL YOGA THERAPEUTICS FOUNDATION COURSE
This course is designed for professionals in the fields of physical health, mental health and movement education seeking to harness the therapeutic power of the aerial hammock apparatus into their existing scope of practice. This 20hr course explores the neurobiological understandings of trauma and pain, followed by an introduction to the therapeutic framework underpinning the complete 150hr Applied Aerial Yoga Therapeutics Postgraduate Program. Over the duration of the course, participants will have the opportunity to gain an experiential perspective on the unique healing qualities of the aerial hammock when applied within a multi-modal approach.
What is Aerial Yoga Therapeutics?
Aerial Yoga Therapeutics utilises the aerial hammock apparatus to facilitate therapeutic movement that aligns with progressive exercise-based rehabilitation and trauma-informed practice. The aerial hammock is a sensory medium that enhances neural integration and offers the restorative benefits of zero-compression inversions, incorporating joint and viscera decompression while developing 3-dimensional spatial awareness. It holds a unique ability to induce the relaxation response by releasing respiratory constriction and providing somatic experiences of being supported, rocked and ‘cradled’ that rebuild a sense of trust in one’s body, relationship and environment. The therapeutic benefits of this body-orientated intervention are quickly being adapted into innovative clinical exercise based physiotherapy, rehabilitation practices and mental health settings to address a range of conditions and enhance recovery, empowerment and well-being.
