Aerial Yoga Certification Programs
Aerial Yoga—rooted in lineage, guided by breath, supported by sling.
At Elevate Aerial Academy, our Aerial Yoga programs return to the heart of yoga. Created by Chantelle Rawlings after over a decade of practice, teaching, and deep study, these trainings honour the philosophy, structure, and tradition of yoga—placing the hammock in service of the practice, not at the centre of it.
This is not aerial for entertainment. It is yoga, supported.
Our courses integrate Sanskrit, pranayama, and dharma teachings with intelligent sequencing and grounded biomechanics. The aerial hammock is used as a prop: to extend, deepen, and illuminate the practice—never to overshadow it. You will not find flashy tricks or made-up pose names here. You will find yoga with integrity.
For yoga teachers, dedicated students, and movement professionals seeking a rigorous, embodied, and lineage-informed path, these trainings offer the tools and support to share Aerial Yoga with clarity, confidence, and authenticity.
Courses are available by invitation or request at studios nationally and internationally.

As a new studio owner, my business was growing and I was in need of some more teachers. I wanted excellent teachers trained by the best in the business so I invited Chantelle Rawlings to host an Aerial Teacher Training Course at my studio in Geelong.
From the very first interaction, Chantelle was delightful to work with. Accommodating, caring, professional and an expert in all things Aerial Yoga! Chantelle covered two certificate levels in a week-long Intensive Teacher Training for myself and nine students and it surpassed all my expectations.
Chantelle’s in-depth knowledge of postural alignment, refined and concise verbal cues, modifications and comprehensive discussions around student needs, combined with her magical and captivating personality made it an incredible learning experience for all involved.
