I'm not on a program per say, but in aerials, when I start training new movements, my tendons (eg. elbows) get really sore.
I normally just lay off them until they recover. Are there any ways to make the recovery faster?

My personal take is trying to "recover faster" is just not taking enough rest to properly recover and leaves you more prone to injury. Most people won't understand this until they've suffered a few injuries.
If you're training one thing heavily, more than 3 times per week, make sure you do a very thorough warmup every time. As in warmup for 15-20 minutes before you do anything intense. For Aerials I imagine you should prioritize your wrists, forearms, shoulders, back and hamstrings. Treat inflammation with ice and Motrin. If the pain starts getting worse, take a week off, or dial it back and work your way up again.
If the tendonitis is severe, ask a doctor. They may be able to treat it quickly with a steroid injection or you might need surgery.

When I had a hamstring injury, I found all kinds of videos on YouTube about exercises to heal and strengthen the hamstrings. They worked great. I imagine you could find the same for elbow injuries. Just try them and see if it makes your elbows feel better and stronger
