AcroYoga is a dynamic partner practice that 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 partner practice that cultivates trust, playfulness, and community.
This session is primarily a jam session, where you can practice and play together.
For beginners there will also be some time at the start of this session where a couple of people will work with beginners to help for the first hour or so. For beginners and those who want to top up their skills, there is an AcroYoga intro workshop every month or so at Open Source Arts (see our Calendar page for the next one or get in touch with us).
Join us for a jam, we will progress our practice and solve problems together. If you would like to join us for conditioning/handstand training then please come along.
Bring a drink, snack, and comfortable clothes good for moving around.
Join the AcroYoga Facebook group to meet others in the community.
