About the Course

AcroYoga!
An extremely Playful way to move your body, let go of your day and connect to some delightful new people. It's surprising what your body is capable of and when we get together with others we can support each other in this beautiful exploration! By empowering each other to speak truthfully and communicate clearly, we can co create a safe environment to challenge ourselves and support each other. AcroYoga uses intelligent body mechanics allowing you to find balance and strength you thought was out of reach. As well as being super fun and playful a lot of these poses will also have a therapeutic effect on your body helping you lengthen and strengthen through active and passive movement.
The challenge of acrobatics, the zen of yoga, and the juiciness of community & playful experiences of trust and connection!
Is it time?! Is it time for you to start (or relaunch!) your adventures as an AcroYogi?
We think it is!
Acroyoga is just as the name implies - Acrobatic yoga. Doing acrobatic things like balancing on top of people, while incorporating the principles of mindfulness, steadiness and ease, and other yogic principles and practices.
Come join us in this 5 week series where we will share with you the foundations of AcroYoga, including:
* The foundations of AcroYoga safety and good spotting.
* Games, drills, and techniques to build your strength, balance, flexibility, and body awareness.
* AcroYoga and ‘ acro jam’ etiquette
* Communication tips that will make your acro adventures zing instead of sting!
* The invitation and support to step into more playfulness, more open heartedness, more experiences of giving trust and being trustworthy
* And, of course, a heap of foundational AcroYoga poses and mini flows that you can take with you to connect with the local and global AcroYoga community!
This series is open to complete beginners and those who are looking to solidify the foundations of their practice. Even if you’ve been playing with acro informally for a little while, this series offers you a structure, safety, support, and consistency that you won’t find anywhere else on the coast. We highly recommend investing in your practice in this way. Over the 5 weeks you will feel and see the benefits of growing your skills, fitness, strength, flexibility ,connection, trust, play and team work with the group whilst being held in a wonderfully crafted container by facilitators Ivan Blanco & Gabriella Salmon.
