AcroYoga
Fundamentals

Open you practice with the ease, comfort and support of a partner. This workshop touches upon all the disciplines that AcroYoga offers, combining the wisdom of Yoga, the loving kindness of Thai Massage and the dynamic power of Acrobatics. Grounded in the breath, we will draw upon the natural forces of gravity and encourage the body to let go of fear and tension. Students are requested to have familiarity with yoga. No partner necessary for either workshop!
Love, Light,
and Flight:
Therapeutic
Flying and Thai Massage
5pm to 8pm
Flying is a dance between Shiva and
Shakti, which utilizes the compliments of strong grounding energy and fluid receptive
energy. It is a practice of giving and
receiving, honoring and accepting, 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, increasing their capacity for trust and communication.

$45 if you register for class before September 22,
$55 after that date,
$135 for the whole weekend.
Yin Yoga is an ideal practice to complement the more muscularly active “Yang” Yoga’s that we are used to i.e. Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Hot Yoga. We will focus on the connective tissues of the hips, thighs, pelvis and lower spine. We will explore holding postures for 3-5 minutes, as we go deeper into our connective tissues we will root deeper into our minds as well. Yin Yoga is a great practice for those that meditate as it prepares the body for longer more comfortable sits. Class will end with a 25-minute meditation. No experience with Yoga is necessary.
