Here are the answers to some common questions about AcroYoga.
What is AcroYoga?
“AcroYoga blends the wisdom of yoga, the dynamic power of acrobatics, and the loving kindness of healing arts. These three lineages form the foundation of a practice that cultivates trust, playfulness, and community.” AcroYoga.org
AcroYoga has 3 main elements:
- Solar Acrobatic Practices are about one thing: Having Fun! If you’re not having fun you’re not doing it right. Partner Acrobatics combines three people: the base, the flyer and the spotter. The base creates the strong foundation for the flyer to trust. The spotter’s role is to ensure the safety of the flyer. Each plays an important role in ensuring safety and fun in the practise.
- Lunar Healing Practices are the perfect balance to the yang solar practise. This involves Thai massage and therapeutic flying.
- Yogic Practices are used to foster self awareness and balance.
