AcroYoga

AcroYoga: The Yoga of Trust and Connection

AcroYoga is a dynamic and playful partner-based practice that blends the wisdom of yoga, the dynamic power of acrobatics, and the loving kindness of Thai massage.

The Three Roles

  1. Base: The person on the ground who supports the flyer.
  2. Flyer: The person who is lifted off the ground by the base.
  3. Spotter: The person who ensures the safety of the base and flyer.

The Two Sides of the Practice

  1. Acrobatic (Solar) Practice: The dynamic and playful side, involving sequences and transitions.
  2. Therapeutic (Lunar) Practice: Focused on healing and relaxation, where the flyer is passive and receives stretches.

Key Poses

  • Front Bird: A foundational pose where the flyer balances on the base's feet.
  • Throne: The flyer sits on the base's feet as if on a throne.
  • Folded Leaf: A therapeutic pose where the flyer hangs passively in a forward fold.
