Challenge your yoga asana practice and explore the world of balancing on your hands.

This workshop is ideal for those with regular yoga asana practice and or other forms of body awareness practices; and who are keen to discover their hands and arm balancing potential.  You will learn the alignment techniques, strength elements, the embodiment of inversions and taking weight on your arms and hands. We will build it up progressively working on upper body stamina, core conditioning and wrist awareness.

It’s your chance to challenge yourself and get creative in your asana practice.

 

Ready to do anything.  There is almost no such thing as ready.  There is only now.

The Art of Flying Therapeutics at Yotopia

AcroYoga Lunar – The Art of Flying Therapeutics 

 

When:  Sunday 9th December 2018, 2.30pm – 5.30pm

Where:  Yotopia, 13 Mercer Street, London WC2H 9QH. Tel: 0333 405 8888

Cost: £35 Please click here for bookings 

The Lunar side of AcroYoga allows us to slow down and cultivate the art of deep listening, conscious touch and the capacity of giving and receiving.

This workshop will introduce you to Thai massage techniques; the use of gravity, body weight, touch and harmonics to realign and release.  We will cover the foundations to flying therapeutics involving a base and flyer; the base embodies a solid structure for the flyer to experience inverted aerial passive balances that are blended with therapeutic massage techniques.

Open to all and especially those interested in massage or other forms of bodywork.  You will be working in pairs or in small groups.

Massage is not just a luxury its a way to a happier and healthier life.

Delving into Partner Practice at Yotopia

Two’s Company – Delving into a Partner Practice 

 

When:  Sunday 11th November 2018, 2.30pm – 5.30pm

Where:  Yotopia, 13 Mercer Street, London WC2H 9QH. Tel: 0333 405 8888

Cost: £35 please click here for bookings

Counterbalances are when weight is used as a lever to reduce the effort of lifting loads, thereby enabling the balance of another weight.  We will look at how this can be applied to individuals working together as a pair and what potential balances can be created.

We will up look into the push-pull nuances of balance; the engagement and release that allows stability in both symmetrical and asymmetric structures and how to safely build interesting shapes and poses.  Explore the wonders of human counterbalances, delve into your creative potential. 

A regular body awareness practice would be a good advantage.  Come or your own or as a pair; we will get to mix and match with everyone in the room.
