You will also learn how to transition from one pose to another to create a flow. Each class will consist of a different flow
Along the way you will learn AcroYoga etiquette and terminology — now that stuff might sound boring, but it will give you the confidence to attend AcroJams or workshops without committing any embarrassing faux pas and you can nod knowingly when somebody asks you to “cannonball in”
This class is an ALL levels class, beginners and experienced both welcome. There will be something for everyone): No partner necessary.
And remember that while AcroYoga is accessible to most people, it is a workout that involves lifting your partner or being lifted. Sore muscles, bumps, and tumbles will happen along the way.
