The Aerial Yin & Restorative Teacher Training at Pancha Koshas Aerial Yoga & Arts School, Rishikesh is designed for practitioners and teachers who wish to explore the quieter, subtler dimensions of movement and healing.

This immersive training blends the therapeutic depth of Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, somatic practices, fascia awareness, and aerial hammock support to create a learning environment that is grounding, trauma-sensitive, and transformative.

Unlike dynamic aerial formats, this training focuses on:

• Nervous system regulation
• Fascia decompression
• Emotional awareness
• Mindful sequencing
• Safe inversions & supported stillness
• Trauma-sensitive and inclusive teaching

With the hammock acting as a stabilising and therapeutic prop, students learn how to facilitate deep release, parasympathetic activation, myofascial relaxation, and sustainable healing.

The course is led by Rachel Vaz – Yoga Instructor & Psychologist, integrating somatics, polyvagal theory, functional movement, and emotional literacy into accessible and supportive yoga spaces.
