After the success of our April Lunar day, both Erica Montes and Jaqui Wan would like do it again.   Share the AcroYoga Lunar practice that cultivates the art of deep listening, loving touch and the ability to give and receive.

You will learn to: –

  • to fly passively by trusting and letting go;
  • power of the breath in releasing fear and emotional holding patterns;
  • ground, accept and witness

AcroYoga Lunar Day 1116

We will begin the day with AcroYoga Lunar asana to tune to our own bodies. There after we will delve into elements of Thai massage in a supine, prone and or seated sequence. We will explore the flow of energy in the body, where it maybe blocked, and how to use the breath, gravity, body weight, touch and vibrations to release, unblock and create free flow.

We will introduce the art of suspended therapeutics, involving a base and flyer. The base grounds and suspends the flyer with their hands and feet to create the potential to release tension and muscular holding patterns. The passive nature of the flyer enables the base to sculpt the flyer into a variety of shapes that stretches and opens the flyers upper body.

Open to all and especially those who have studied or are studying Thai massage or other forms of body work. Please note you will be asked to work in pairs or encouraged to work in small groups.

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.
