What our Students say
I first discovered Aerial Pilates during my 50-hour aerial yoga training and was fascinated by how well the hammock substitutes for a traditional Pilates reformer. My curiosity grew, and I kept asking if there would be a specific training for it. Soon after, our teacher, Milena, invited us to join her regular Aerial Pilates class at Udara.
By the second week, I already noticed a significant improvement in my core strength and grip. This week was my third, and Milena challenged us with harder poses and pulses—it was tough but so much fun! Milena is incredibly fit, knowledgeable, and supportive, which keeps me highly motivated. Between her amazing teaching, the beautiful views and vibes at Udara, and the great friendships we’ve built, it’s no wonder we all fell in love with it!

During the 2026 Aerial Yoga Teacher Training, I truly discovered how important strength is for an aerial yoga teacher, and how essential it is to understand the correct points of engagement in every movement.
Milena led several Aerial Pilates sessions throughout the training, and they completely changed the way I approached my practice. Not only did my strength and core stability improve significantly, but I also became much more aware of where and how to activate the right muscles. As a result, many aerial poses and transitions started to feel more accessible, efficient, and enjoyable.
As a teacher, Milena is incredibly professional and has a teaching style that is uniquely her own. Her classes are always filled with energy, positivity, and fun. Her cues are clear, and the flow of her classes is thoughtfully designed for both complete beginners and experienced practitioners. She has what I can only describe as infinite energy, and somehow she always appears right beside you whenever support or adjustments are needed.
Practicing Aerial Yoga at Udara has been one of the biggest items on my bucket list, and thanks to Milena, joining her Aerial Pilates classes has now become a new one. I cannot wait for the first Aerial Pilates Teacher Training next year! See you at the next training and remember: ENGAGE YOUR CORE AND KEEP UP WITH MILENA!

Having already completed a traditional Yoga Teacher Training, the Aerial Yoga Teacher Training was the perfect addition for me.
I was particularly thrilled by the Aerial Pilates section with Milena. She has a unique way of combining strength, precision, and lightness. While we are all hanging in the silks, suffering a little on the inside during her legendary “Engage your core!”, she motivates us with so much joy and positive energy that you surpass your own limits and even have fun doing it.
What I especially appreciate about Milena is her trained eye. She instantly sees what you can work on, provides appreciative feedback, and always conveys a sense of safety—even in positions that seemed completely impossible at first.
Alongside the high professional quality, I also loved the special spirit at Udara. The community, the mutual support, and that sense of sisterhood made the training truly special for me.
I am already incredibly excited for the upcoming Aerial Pilates Teacher Training with Milena. To anyone looking to develop their professional skills, grow beyond themselves, and have an incredible amount of fun along the way, I recommend it from the bottom of my heart.

I have truly enjoyed all of the Aerial Pilates classes with Milena so far. Each session is thoughtfully structured, engaging and leaves me feeling both energized and accomplished.
What I appreciate most about Milena as a teacher is her calm, supportive and professional approach. She explains movements clearly, creates a safe learning environment and gives everyone the confidence to explore new challenges in the hammock. Her ability to balance encouragement, technical precision and positive energy makes every class a great experience.
I would highly recommend Milena’s Aerial Pilates Teacher Training to anyone looking to deepen their practice or become an instructor. Based on my experience with her classes I would be very interested in participating in the training myself if the opportunity arises.
