Excited to be sharing this offering with Sylvia Garcia.

Learn to take your yoga up in the air as we show you how to base and fly some of the fundamental acroyoga poses. After a very long Acro break for most of us, we will look at the alignment and form of some of the acroyoga basics. For those of you who are new or rusty, we will have beginner-friendly content and will give more advanced options for those with more experience.

We will be working in small groups with someone spotting each trick to ensure safety! You can come alone or bring a friend. If you prefer to stay in a bubble please come as a three so you can have a base, flyer and spotter for every trick without needing to rotate! Warning, the content of this workshop is very fun and highly addictive!

This workshop is suitable for all levels so come and fly with us!
