Aerial Yoga Instructors face unique challenges: Checking the rigging and load-rating before every class so a hammock never fails mid-inversion. Capping class to the number of hammocks and rig points available. Setting each hammock to the right height for the student so inversions are safe. Screening for contraindications (glaucoma, pregnancy, recent surgery) before letting someone go inverted. On top of all that, Square charges $29/month ($348/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median Aerial Yoga Instructor earns $40,000/year. Software at $348/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Before anyone arrives I do the rig check, every carabiner, every daisy chain, every swivel, because the whole class hangs from those points and I will not run a session on a hardware I haven't inspected. I set each hammock to the student's height so the inversions sit at the right depth. Class is capped to the number of rig points, so an empty hammock is a lost spot. We start seated in the silk, warming the spine, then move to supported standing poses using the fabric for balance. The magic of the class is the inversions, so before we flip I check that nobody has a condition that makes hanging upside down a bad idea, and I quietly remind the woman who mentioned eye pressure to stay upright. I spot the first cocoon for each new student. New people are always nervous about trusting the fabric, so I take the inversion slow and talk them through the wrap. We finish in a savasana cradled in the hammock. After class I wipe the fabric down, re-check the rig points for wear, and reset heights for the next group. Then it's the usual: someone wants to book a private, two people ask about packages, and I've got a waitlist for the full evening class I keep meaning to message.
