FLYING INTENSIVE (All Levels)

Flying is a practice of giving and receiving, inhaling and exhaling that will take both yogis into a new place of union and bliss. The relationship between partners deepens as they exchange roles as flyer and base in forward and backward flying flows, increasing
their capacity for trust and communication. The flyer receives spinal and muscular release while the base is the recipient of Thai Massage and the Buddhist practice of “metta” loving kindness. Students will learn both therapeutic and acrobatic flying sequences, with variations for new and more advanced AcroYoga practitioners. Come with a basic familiarity with yoga. No partner necessary!

The Mystery of inversions is no match for the wisdom of acrobatic training techniques! The ancient yoga texts tell us that Headstand and Shoulderstand are the King and Queen of Asanas, mainly due to the vast medical benefits. These and other inversions can be an enjoyable part of your daily practice once you learn how to work progressively. As we solidy spotting techniques, we will celebrate by working in teams and integrating inversions into basic partner acrobatics. A playful, safe, supportive environment will empower the whole room to be upside down and connect to the divine! Some yoga and inversion experience recommended, no partner necessary!
