AcroYoga Lunar:  Flying Therapeutics

Saturday 16th November 2pm – 4.30pm

BOOKING LINK

Learning to fly, requires you to trust and let go.  This practice is both unique and stimulating, one is suspended in the air, allowing the practitioner to work with the weight-bearing gravity of the flyer. 

Flying therapeutics is: –

  • being suspended in the air on the base’s hands and feet;
  • being flown, often in an inverted position, where gravity aids length and space to the torso, shoulders and spine; and
  • through a sequence of assisted stretches, encourages the feeling of flight and lightness.   

We would recommend attending the Partner Yoga & Thai Massage workshop to attain the most out of our Flying Therapeutics workshop.  Open to all with an interest in massage techniques.  No partner is necessary. You will be working in pairs or in groups of three.  Come with a willingness to learn something new.
