Currently unavailable, email your interest to [email protected] No prior experience needed. Come alone or with a partner, all welcome! Join us for a playful fusion of partner acrobalance, yoga, and meditation.
This class begins with a yoga flow warm-up followed by partner acrobalance lessons which include static figures, moving between positions, and combining these into a sequence ("washing machines"). We'll then cool down with restorative stretches and meditation. This new class is suitable for complete beginners, or anyone wanting to further their yoga practice, strength, or is curious about circus-style acrobatics.
Contortion classes
Learn the art of extreme flexibility! A persistent myth about contortionists is that they are all born with unusual natural flexibility, while this is true in some cases with persistent training anybody can attain the same level of flexibility . This class is for students who want to improve their existing flexibility skills. It will build a foundation of contortion basics. It's for those with willingness and ability to try basic contortion tricks, such as: bridges, chest stand, over splits, elbow stands and more. Classes will be tailored to suit individual skill levels.
Flexibility classes
Whether your goal is to make it to the splits, become a contortionist, or just to touch your toes, you will benefit from this class. We will combine traditional yoga poses, dynamic dance stretches, Pilates moves and many other tricks to help your body limber up and to prevent injuries. We will focus on loosening up your hips, hamstrings, spine and shoulders to get a greater range of movement. Prepare yourself for more graceful aerial experience or just a happier, centered body.
