In the days leading up to the Aerial Yoga Sling Teacher Training course, it’s important that you practice daily to build strength, flexibility, and more than anything familiarity with your Yoga Sling. You should be receiving in the mail shortly.
You can absolutely customize your own practice, but here are the things I’d like you to focus on for sure.
