Aerial Yoga Teacher Training | 60 Hours
This summer, Aerial Yoga meets the sea, nature, and exploration in the enchanting town of Nafplio, at the Modern Yogi Nafplio space.
The Vertical Project Trainings team presents an intensive, experiential 60-hour program, certified by Yoga Alliance, designed to support you in teaching with confidence, clear intention, creativity, and authentic presence.
“This training is not simply the transmission of knowledge. It is a summer journey of movement, connection, and personal growth—on and off the fabric.”
The Location as Part of the Experience
The Mediterranean aesthetic of Modern Yogi Nafplio, the view of its lush garden and the impressive Palamidi Castle, along with its privileged location at the entrance of the old town, make this shala one of the most beautiful in Greece.
The natural landscape of the area—with its seaside limestone cliffs, the sea, and the picturesque surroundings—creates a unique setting for movement, exploration, and adventure in nature.
The program’s outdoor activities serve as a bridge of connection with the world around us, cultivating body awareness, trust, and inner strength.
Who Is This Training For?
This training is designed for:
- Practitioners with experience in Aerial Yoga who wish to deepen their practice in a meaningful way
- Aspiring teachers who want strong, experiential foundations
- Already certified teachers seeking growth, inspiration, and new teaching tools
It is not exclusively for teachers—it is for people who are drawn to conscious learning, movement, and connection.
If you are already a Yoga Alliance–recognized teacher, the 60 hours may be counted as Continuing Education hours (YACEP).

Summer Edition & Adventures | Experiences in Nature

The program is enriched with:
- Walking Meditation, to cultivate presence and mindful movement
- Urban Adventure Hiking (2 hours) in the city of Nafplio
- SUP (Stand Up Paddle), as a practice of balance, flow, and connection with water
- Yin Yoga & Aerial Yoga, for deep release and restoration
- Inversions, Handstands & Acroyoga, to build trust, strengthen group connection, and invite play
- Thai Massage, through an introductory experiential practice
- Gentle Flow, for a soft integration of breath and movement
- Meditation on the Beach, as a collective experience of grounding and integration
All activities are designed to support the teaching of Aerial Yoga, personal growth, and group connection.
Bring your positive energy, a spirit of collaboration, and come fly with us!
