Who Is This Training For?
🌸 For those who are curious about aerial yoga but have felt hesitant — ready to gently step into something new, supported and uplifted.
🌸 For yoga practitioners and teachers who wish to deepen their personal practice, exploring the hammock as a tool for growth, creativity, and exploration.
🌸 For those who feel a quiet pull to share their love of aerial yoga with others — not just teaching poses, but offering an experience of lightness, trust, and discovery.
🌸 For aerialists and instructors seeking to reconnect with their own practice, refine their understanding, and rediscover the joy and wonder of movement in the air.
🌸 For anyone longing to step out of their usual routine, open up to new possibilities, and connect more deeply — with a supportive community, and with the most meaningful connection of all: the one with themselves.
Meet Trainer - Smile Owen
Hi, I’m Smile — and I’m excited to lead you through this Aerial yoga teacher training.
My personal Aerial journey did not start off with love at first flight. My first and second classes were two years apart—I wasn’t an instant fan. The fabric felt uncomfortable on my skin, and I even had bruises the next day.
what brought me back? my 7-year-old daughter, zoey (you’ll spot her in many of the demo photos here!). she loved aerial so much that I added it to my studio just for her — and somewhere along the way, I started flying too. slowly but surely, I fell in love with it, the challenge, the trust, the letting go.
As a yoga teacher with over a decade of teaching experience and the owner of Moonshine Yoga, I now get to share this practice with others — especially those who don’t fall for it instantly, just like me. there’s something powerful about being held by the fabric, both physically and mentally.
Outside the studio, I’m a mom, a dog walker, a constant student, and sometimes the person answering your emails at odd hours. I believe the best teachers stay curious — and I’m here to learn right alongside you.
whether you’re excited, nervous, or somewhere in between — you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. let’s fly together.

If you’re brand new, we recommend taking a few beginner aerial classes before the training starts. This will help you familiarize yourself with the hammock, the sensations, and the basic movements. If you are not a current studio member, please reach out to the studio to get access and set up booking for classes before training. We are happy to help you get started!

✅ Two Aerial classes per day
✅ Hands-on practice in the hammock
✅ Teaching drills to refine your skills
