Acroyoga is the practice of partner acrobatics, dance and yoga that comes together to create the perfect dynamic of physical, mental and emotional connection. Through play you will experience the magic of acroyoga and how it cultivates pure joy! In this class we will work the foundations, beginning with a warm up designed specifically to prevent injury and strength for the poses we will move through together. Acroyoga can be a great way to build trust, communication and balance with another human. While this is a partner practice, no partner is required to attend
