AcroYoga combines the disciplines of yoga, acrobatics and healing arts into the one practice.  This workshop acts as an introduction, no experience or partner required.

The workshop will be broken up into two three hour elements: –

Inversions & partner acrobatics  –  you will explore the embodiment of inversions, headstands, forearm balances and handstands. We will work progressively in small groups on static balances to sequences; involving a base, flyer and spotter with some focus on transitions. We require you have willingness to explore your fearless inner child.

Healing arts – delve into the world of Thai massage and the practice of therapeutic flying, where the receiver (flyer) surrenders their weight to the giver (base) who in turn takes that trust and is able to manipulate and elongate the flyers upper body through a process of suspended and supported movements and transitions.
