Aerial Sling & Hammock Training for Home + Studio
Just bought a sling/hammock (aerial yoga rig) or training between classes? Start with a path that tells you exactly what to practice first—and what to do next.
Best for aerialists with regular access to a sling/hammock (home rig or studio open practice).
Why most people get stuck (especially at home)
Most online aerial content falls into two buckets:
Flow-style aerial yoga classes (fun, but not always built as a skill progression)
Quick tutorial clips with voiceovers (cool moves, but no clear sequence or prerequisites)
So practice turns into: climb up → try → climb down → rewind → try again… and you still don’t know what to do next to make it click.
Aerial Foundations fixes that with a real progression + Activation First—so your technique, strength, and confidence build in the right order.
What’s the difference between aerial hammock training and aerial yoga flows?
Aerial hammock training builds skills through prerequisites and repeatable reps; aerial yoga flows prioritize the sequence experience and don’t always follow a skill progression. Flows can feel amazing—but if you want skills to click safely, you need foundations + repeatable reps that build strength, technique, and confidence in the right order.

I just bought my Aerial Hammock, Now What?
When you’re learning at home, the biggest challenge isn’t motivation—it’s structure. Foundations teaches you alignment + activation first so you build strength safely and your skills click faster.
Safe entries/exits + body positioning that protects your shoulders, back, and hips
Activation cues so you feel the right muscles working (not just “hanging on”)
Follow-along teaching: clear demo + coached reps you can do with me
Train both sides for balanced strength + technique
Common mistakes included so you know what to avoid
Your first 2 weeks: Foundations warm-up + 1–2 skills (both sides) + one activation drill you’ll use forever.
I’m a studio student (or I’m watching videos) and I’m frustrated!
If you’re taking Aerial classes or learning from videos but progress feels inconsistent, this gives you a clear pathway so you stop guessing and start building real skill.
A clear progression path: Foundations → Level 1 → Level 2 → Level 3
Skill markers so you know what to practice next
Fix the gaps that cause plateaus (grip, alignment, activation, confidence)
Balanced training (both sides) for cleaner technique and steadier progress
With just a few hours of practice per week, you’ll feel things start to click within a month—because you’re finally building the layers in the right order. By months 3–4, many students feel genuinely surprised by how much stronger, steadier, and more confident they’ve become… not from pushing harder, but from practicing smarter

THE ACTIVATION METHOD
The Secret to a Safe, Sustainable Aerial Practice
Most aerial instruction focuses on the end result—the trick, the pose, the performance.
We start with something more important: ACTIVATION.
Before you climb, swing, or invert, I teach you how to engage the right muscles, align your body, and move with intention. This isn't just about preventing injury (though it does that)—it's about building real strength that translates to every skill you learn and the way you move throughout the day.
The Activation Method is what makes our approach different.
It's why students progress faster, feel more confident, and avoid the frustration of "I can't do this."
When your body knows how to activate properly, everything becomes possible.
✅ Foundations warm-ups to start every practice (strength + stability)
✅ Level 1 + Level 2 training organized in order so you always know what to do next
✅ Follow-along teaching (shown + coached reps, not just a demo)
✅ Train both sides for balanced strength + technique
✅ Common mistakes + safety cues (what not to do + how to fix it)
✅ Video review + support: share your practice videos and get feedback when you’re stuck.
✅ Community: tag @aerialfoundations to share wins, get cheered on, and stay accountable
✅ New videos added monthly
✅ 30-day money-back guarantee (first-time members only)

Your Questions, Answered
-
Advanced content is unlocked based on skill, not payment. Once you've mastered foundational and intermediate moves, you'll submit a video demonstrating your technique. Marci will review it and, when you're ready, grant you access to the next level. This ensures you're always progressing safely.
-
Yes! If you already have aerial experience, you can submit a video demonstrating your current skill level. Marci will review it and unlock the appropriate content for you. We meet you where you are. However we do require that you’ve reviewed and understand the foundational technique before submitting.
-
That's what video reviews and live Q&A sessions are for. Submit a video of the skill you're working on, and Marci will give you specific feedback. You can also ask questions during live sessions. You're never stuck—you always have support. Just email Marci and she’ll respond as soon as she can.
-
Aerial can be adapted for many injuries and limitations. During video reviews, let Marci know about your specific situation, and she'll give you modifications and alternatives. Always consult your doctor before starting any new physical practice.
-
To get the most out of this membership, you’ll need regular access to an aerial sling/hammock—either a safe home setup or studio open practice time. Many students train at home, and many train at a studio between classes.
If you’re not sure what setup is right for your space/body/goals, email me at marci@aerialfoundations.comand I’ll help you choose a safe option.
