AcroYoga: Get High With Your Friends, All Levels

Dion Boehm and Carolyn Cohen

Sunday at 5pm @ The Pavilion

Come learn and explore the dynamic fun of partner yoga and acrobatics with two senior AcroYoga teachers!  Bring a yoga mat if you have one, wear comfortable clothes that you can move in. No previous experience or partner necessary, just a desire to have fun and to get high with your friends.

Acrobatic Yoga focuses on partner acrobatics that mostly utilize the feet. Our style of Acrobatic Yoga blends yoga, gymnastics, various styles of dance, Acrobalance, Adagio Balance and Icarian Games. This contemporary sport is very accessible and accommodates many body types. Acrobatic Yoga highlights the strength, coordination, balance, flexibility, and range of motion that the human body can attain. Partnering can occur in same sex and/or coed base and flyer roles.

New participants are quickly inspired to create new sequences and moves. Beginners and experienced athletes alike observe positive results rapidly, making this sport very satisfying, and leaving participants hungry for more.
