A weekend introduction to AcroYoga.  An opportunity to explore acrobatic transitions, washing machines, Thai massage and flying therapeutics.

Flying Transitions

We will begin with a series of static poses, involving a flyer and a base and once the foundations are set the intention would be to piece them together to create flying sequences.  Students will work in groups of three; base, flyer and spotter(s), I will encourage everyone to play with all the roles and collaborate progressively in building acrobatic flying sequences and routines.

Cycles and Washing Machines

These sequences can often be complicated and challenging, requiring good physical strength, stamina and communication between the base and flyer.  I will teach patterns that can be repeated as cycles which are more commonly called washing machines in Europe and North America.

Thai Massage

I will introduce this healing art form; covering its traditional links with Buddhism and metta bhavana (loving kindness), working the whole body from the feet upwards to the top of the head: or cover specific areas that can support the practice of Flying Therapeutics as mentioned below.

Flying Therapeutics

This is also considered part of the healing arts within the practice of AcroYoga.  I will cover a number of principles in 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.

Participants must have a willingness to work in pairs or in groups of three or more, have a regular physical body practice of some kind and a willingness to be upside down.
