 About Glynis:

This fire ball of a person is full of enthusiasm and energy that it make me wonder if she’s actually human.  She has extensive practical teaching experience of body movement.  She will have completed her AcroYoga Montreal teacher training over the summer and I’m super excited to be co-teaching with her. 

About Jaqui:

I unearthed a shiny acrobatic gem last year at the Berlin convention when I met her.  She is one of the original certified AcroYoga teachers in the world and has helped spread the practice over the past decade across her native UK and beyond.  Don’t be fooled by her petite frame – she can base just like a muscleman!  Full of energy, flexible, creative, humble, warm and funny she will give you new insights into your practice and take your acro skills up a notch or two.

The day will split into to two sections with a 30 minute break in between.

In the morning from 10am – 12.30pm we will explore inversions, introduce you to partner balancing & trio pyramids. This is suitable for complete beginners and a great opportunity to delve into the world being upside down and the art of collaboration & mutually finding points of balance.

In the afternoon from 1-3.30pm we will work focus on the L basing acro transitions, some experience of AcroYoga would will help you get the most out of your day, though its not essential.  We will cover washing machines, acrobatic sequences that can be repeat again and again and we will also touch on the elements of hand to hand connections.   This will be a real opportunity to challenge & develop your acro skills.

This day is open to all, however you are a complete beginner you are most welcome to the morning session only or if you want to challenge yourself do the whole day.  Please some body awareness practice would be an advantage.
