Have more FUN and FLY with friends!

Join us for an afternoon of acroyoga – learn to lift others up and be lifted! Acroyoga combines the mindfulness of yoga with the power of acrobatics, while connecting people in a playful way. By moving together through poses we learn how to build trust, form connections, and reach new heights with each other. It also promotes body awareness, balance, and strength – a truly challenging workout that you can enjoy with friends.

This workshop will cover the FUNdamentals of  acroyoga including partner balance, connection and introduction to L-basing (flying). Learn techniques for the three main roles in acroyoga (base, flyer and spotter), how to train safely on your own and enjoy some not-your-everyday-basic poses, and partner-assisted warm-ups and cool-downs for a well-round practice!

Come alone and make new friends, or bring a partner and more friends to magnify the joy!

Note:
Beginners are fully welcome. Yoga experience is helpful, but not necessary!
