Join Bongo and Sam of Yoga of Dragons, for this playful 3 1/2 hour workshop. Acroyoga is a combination of yoga, acrobatics and therapeutic arts. Practiced in pairs or small groups, acroyogis work and play together to create balances, sequences, flows and healing hang-outs.
The workshop will start with fun warm up exercises that help you understand and embody the roles of flyer, base and spotter. We will then invite you to experience some of the key poses of acroyoga. There will be a 15min tea break before we play with transitions between the poses, building an acroyoga flow. We finish with some therapeutic partner work for a relaxing end to an exciting day.
We will be working on some more beginner level poses and transitions. If you attended our first Take Flight workshop there will be new, interesting things to play with, but enough familiar stuff for you to refine and feel a progression. All of the material will be made accessible, whether or not you came to the first workshop. All welcome, bring your friends!
Bongo and Sam have been enjoying Yoga, Acrobatics and Acroyoga since 2012 and have been teaching Acroyoga for the last three years. They took the VanCity Acro teacher training and continue to explore and develop learning and teaching methods that take their students beyond their expectations. They travel and share their practice wherever they go, and run weekly classes in their hometown Aberystwyth, Wales. They love helping people surprise themselves as they uncover the possibilities of trust, connection and challenge that acroyoga embodies.
You don't need to be super-flexi and strong, or a mega experienced yogi or acrobat before you start. Practicing acroyoga will build flexibility and strength, but mainly it should be tried because it’s such good fun! It will certainly give your laughing muscles a good workout (there was so much laughter on our last Dumfries trip, we couldn't resist coming back!).
