An introductory workshop into the principles of basic inversions.

SAT 21ST OCT | 2-4.30PM | ACROYOGA FUNDAMENTALS 

The world of AcroYoga, an afternoon to connect, build trust and play.

This workshop is for:

  • People new to AcroYoga
  • Those with some AcroYoga experience that want to steer on the basics
  • Anyone who has played with AcroYoga but has lost momentum in this practice and wishes to reestablish their solid foundations


We will learn the built foundations of the AcroYoga practice; exploring calisthenic and partner conditioning to dive into our acrobatic bodies.
Moving into the partner balancing section of the session, you will play with nuances of calibration and collaboration, and explore the therapeutics that come from this practice, be it Flying or partner Thai massage.

No experience is necessary, beginners are welcome.

Our aim is to build your confidence, learn and try something new, and build on your potential to play safely and have fun.
