Taking Your Yoga Off the Mat: The Magic of AcroYogaSaturday, October 10th, 1pm-4pm
Cost: $30 early registration*, $35 after
ALL LEVELS WELCOME
Come bring your yoga off the mat and onto someone else! This workshop is perfect for both the beginner and the well-versed AcroYogi. AcroYoga aims to bring yogic awareness to the power and grace of acrobatics. Confidence, concentration, trust and agility are all elements that support the embodiment of an acrobat and can help any person feel more empowered in their daily lives. By expanding the range of the physical body, we learn to trust ourselves and others, realizing our collective potential. As we remove self-imposed limits, we are walking on the path towards liberation. All of these very yogic ideals shine through the practice of acrobatics. The elements shared in this offering consist of: strength-building techniques and the AcroYoga asana sequence, partner balancing, acrobatic flying, inversions and spotting techniques. With these new tools students will have a fresh perspective on how to enhance their practice and their approach to others. No partner is necessary, 6 months of yoga practice recommended.

Thai massage involves sretching and deep masage. This form of bodywork is usually performed on the floor and both partners wear comfortable clothing allowing for movement. No oils are used in Thai massage. This ancient healing system was developed by a Buddhist physician over 2500 years ago. Thai massage is also called Thai Yoga massage because the therapist uses his or her hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like stretches. Many people say that Thai massage is like doing yoga - without the work! Muscle compression, joint mobilization, and acupressure are also used during treatment. Come learn the benefits of giving and receiving a thai massage. No partner is necessary. The perfect way to end a physically demanding day.
