Acroyoga blends the spiritual wisdom of yoga, the loving kindness of Thai massage, and the dynamic power of Acrobatics. These three ancient lineages form this practice that cultivates trust, connection and playfulness. There are 7 main elements that make up the practice: circle ceremony, asana, partner flow, Thai massage, therapeutic flying, inversions & spotting, and partner acrobatics. Acroyoga aims to bring individuals into a state of union with themselves, with each other, and with the divine. From this place of mutual support the true self can be realized, celebrated and shared for the benefit of all.
By moving and breathing together as one, I could sense that we are coming together as equals to create harmony, joy and community. What I love the most is the partner flow. The stretches and sequence are creative when done with partner and it gives us the platform to practice self acceptance, receptivity and communicating our needs. We had a good laugh doing some flying poses and inversions.

All in all we had fun and will have acroyoga again!
The seers observed nature and lived as close as they could to the earth, studying the many aspects of nature, the animals and themselves. By observing and emulating the different postures and habits of the animal kingdom they were able to develop grace, strength and wisdom.
