Elevate Aerial Teacher Training


Hey Reader,

I have been absolutely DYING to announce this, and we're finally ready!!!

I am so excited to share that I will leading an aerial teacher training with Emily Scherb, the Circus Doc!!

Join us June 11-14 in Ashland, OR for the Elevate Aerial Teacher Training!!

This training is an advanced, in-person training designed for aerial instructors who are ready to move beyond the basics and deepen how they see, analyze, and teach movement.

Our goal with this training is to help you bridge the gap between theory and practice. Because memorizing muscles and bones don't mean anything if you don't understand what it looks like in the body in front of you!

In this training, you’ll learn how to:

  • Identify functional and dysfunctional movement patterns
  • Give clear, specific cues that actually change how students move
  • Understand what you’re seeing when you watch a body in motion
  • Break down aerial skills and pathways so they can be trained safely and effectively
  • Adapt your teaching to different bodies, learning styles, and needs

And, most importantly, we'll be there to help you gain confidence in your ability to problem solve in real time!

I KNOW how it feels to start working with students only to realize there is so much more to learn! I had to figure so much of this out for myself, but you don't have to.

Between Emily and myself, we have nearly 50 years of teaching experience. And we want to share it with you!

Because we both the know that coaches who are invested in their education become better, safer coaches. And those coaches help create better, safer studios. And those studios create a safer, stronger community for all of us!

Got questions? Email me back and I'll answer them!

Hope to hear from you soon!

Love,

Lauren
