DESCRIPTION
AcroYoga is partnership. It is the union of two or more energetic bodies into a cooperative soul. It builds on the wisdom of [solo] yoga and adds layers of complexity through reliance on communication, support, and sympathy/empathy. In many ways, it's "more yoga than yoga", because it takes us out of our own heads and asks us to commune with others for the benefit of all.
This workshop explores the foundations of AcroYoga partnership, touch, postures, and transitions. We'll work together to build a safe, supportive atmosphere in which individuals can learn to FLY as a flock!
Be prepared to be upside down, to touch others, and to be touched. Maximum attendance is 24. Appropriate for all levels. No partner or experience needed. Frailty, brittle bones, and blood pressure issues are contra-indicators.
