Little Mandarin™ Aerial Alignment

100-hr Yoga Teacher Training Course

NEXT INTAKE: TBA

Training Teacher: Jowing Zhang

This training course is not just about fancy tricks but the in-depth study of the alignment of Aerial Yoga. Yes, it can be looking fancy at times but what makes aerial yoga different from the aerial arts is that fundamentally, it stems from a yoga practice and so incorporates many of the traditional yoga poses with a focus on breath & alignment. The hammock is just another prop to help you find the alignment and advance your practice.

Reviews from the previous course students

**Lela Jamil**
I came across LM Yoga & Pilates by chance and attended my first aerial yoga class. Let’s say I haven’t looked back since! I’m hooked! I love how it challenges me. Difficult enough that it keeps me coming back yet nurturing enough that I can slow down too. I love it so much so that I signed up for LM's first aerial yoga teacher training.
Jowing is very knowledgeable and a great mentor. She takes great pride in knowing her students. She knows when to nudge me and at the same time when to push me.
The training is very comprehensive which includes anatomy, teaching guidance, proper cues to utilise, and examples of how different bodies are in each pose to name a few.
Being a full-time professional - the training schedule was perfect.
Furthermore, I’ve become very good friends with my fellow trainees who have been very encouraging and supportive through the training.
Jowing and Jamie have created such a beautiful, safe, judgement-free environment and if you are considering taking your practice to the next level - do not hesitate!
Little Mandarin is the studio of your choice!

**Pearl He**
Happy to know that the second batch of aerial yoga teacher training is on the way. As a previous student, I learned a lot from Jowing and highly appreciate the learning and teaching opportunities due to this training. Highly recommend it to those who want to enhance their own practice and enrich teaching techniques in yoga.

**Jin Xiong**
It was an amazing experience to make me so clearly why I’m teaching & how I teach. Jowing’s 100-hour Aerial Yoga teacher training gave me such good confidence. Jowing is very supportive in training and gave us plenty of opportunities to teach and learn, and I appreciated this teacher training. I felt so much confidence to deliver my mind to everyone in the class for better understanding by cues, presenting, correcting, and encouraging. And I felt so grateful when I saw anyone in the class had progressed.

**Steph Soh**
My 100-hr aerial yoga teacher training (AYTT) journey at Little Mandarin with teacher, Jowing was both rich and extremely rewarding. Jowing continually took the approach of instilling her passion, knowledge, and practice of precisions of asana alignments throughout the course. You will be challenged both mentally and physically, but the knowledge you gain after completing the course will be just priceless! I would highly recommend Little Mandarin AYTT to anyone wanting to embark on the journey to becoming an aerial yoga teacher or simply deepen and further develop their self-practice skills.

**Shang Yeen Gan**
The teacher training course at LM was very useful, be it for self-practice or group classes. From this course, I was able to learn and understand the rationale behind every pose and sequence as well as the benefits it brings to different parts of our body. The intense training, adjustment practices, placements and community classes not only enhanced our awareness towards safety during practices but were also very helpful for our practical experience and for our teaching preparation. Throughout the course, Jowing provided much support, precise guidance and advice for improvements which built our trust and confidence. It was a very rewarding experience.

**Nicole Yuen**
I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of this amazing training. Jowing's passion and extensive knowledge of yoga are truly inspiring. Her classes and studio immerse one in an irreplaceable sense of positive energy. The training not only struck a perfect balance between professionalism and intimacy, making the lessons enjoyable and memorable. But also provides a great platform and opportunity to confidently pursue a teaching role after completing the YTT. Although my original goal for joining the training was to deepen my self-practice, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself developing an interest in teaching despite it not being my initial intention. I highly recommend this training to anyone looking to expand their knowledge and embrace personal growth, even if you aren't considering becoming a yoga instructor. You may just discover something unexpected along the way!

**Elva Wei**
Little Mandarin's teacher training program was highly informative, covering a comprehensive range of topics essential for anyone aspiring to be an aerial yoga instructor. From anatomy and asanas to philosophy and teaching methodologies, the program delved into every facet of yoga. However, what truly distinguished this teacher training program and rendered it an exceptional experience in life was the lead instructor Jowing's dedication to exploring the essence of yoga and her passion for sharing with us her profound knowledge and skills. I unreservedly commend this program to anyone seeking to deepen their yoga practice and embark on the path of becoming a yoga instructor.
