Minnesota Master Teacher 2016 MYC
For the past two years AcroYogaMPLS has had the amazing privilege to participate in the opening night festivities for the Minneapolis Yoga Conference. I am super pleased and feel quite proud to be asked back this year as a Minnesota Master Teacher for the conference. Also pumped to be teaching with Jude Ortiz of Full Circle Asana.
The Minneapolis Yoga Conference is a meeting ground for hundreds of yogis to connect, learn, grow, evolve and have fun together. Join us in 2016 on April 15-17th for the 3rd annual! Learn more: http://www.mplsyogaconference.com

AcroYoga 101
AcroYoga combines elements of yoga, acrobatics, and Thai massage. Using these practices, you will cultivate grounding, balance, strength and surrender to achieve flight! As with yoga, the practice can be gentle and restorative, athletic and invigorating, and all points in between.
This workshop will cover the fundamentals of AcroYoga, including basing (being the person on the bottom), flying (being the person on top), and spotting (being the person keeping the other two safe). We'll learn safe ways of coming in to and out of balancing poses...balancing on each other, of course! In addition to exploring static balancing poses, we'll bring some flow in by connecting the poses with smooth, intelligent transitions.
No previous acroyoga or yoga experience is needed, just the willingness to have some fun balancing on other people and going upside down! The workshop will focus on safety, so expect to be working in groups. By the end, you will have learned some basic poses and transitions to help you begin to explore this beautiful practice!
