Soaring with the Soul: An Aviana Aerial Yoga Guide

Soaring with the Soul is more than an aerial yoga book, it’s an invitation into a deeply embodied relationship with movement, breath, and presence.This fully revised Second Edition of Aviana Yoga’s signature guide offers a visually rich and thoughtfully curated exploration of aerial yoga. Rooted in alignment and woven with feminine wisdom, it brings together nervous system support, sensory awareness, and intuitive self-connection in a way that honors both structure and softness.Developed over more than a decade of teaching, this methodology is shaped by years of witnessing how bodies respond in the air through what builds trust, what creates safety, and what allows a practitioner to truly soften into the experience. Rather than emphasizing performance or spectacle, this approach centers accessibility, intelligent progression, and deep attention to the details that unlock the therapeutic potential of the practice.Inside, you’ll find over 100 aerial yoga postures and variations, ranging from grounding, floor-based shapes to uplifting, hammock-supported forms. Each pose is offered with clear guidance, supportive cues, and thoughtful modifications that honor the uniqueness of every body.More than a pose manual, this book offers a framework for creating practices that engage the body, mind, and spirit, blending movement with breath, subtle energetics, and sensory elements such as aromatherapy to support deeper regulation, presence, and inner awareness.Subtle threads of chakra awareness and energetic flow are woven throughout, allowing the practice to become not just physical, but deeply rejuvenating, supporting emotional release, nervous system balance, and a return to self-trust, while still embracing the lightness, play, and joy that aerial yoga invites.This guide is especially suited for:Aerial yoga teachers seeking refined language and a more intentional approachYoga instructors expanding into aerial practices with care and clarityDedicated students ready to deepen their understanding of hammock-supported movementThose drawn to a feminine, supportive, and therapeutic style of practicePlease note:This book is not focused on acrobatic or performance-based aerial arts, and it is not a substitute for in-person training. Instead, it is designed to complement hands-on learning and support a safe, embodied practice.With stunning photography and a layout designed to feel intuitive and easeful, Soaring with the Soul is a companion you can return to again and again whether you’re teaching, learning, or simply reconnecting with your body.
