What is Acro Yoga?

I would describe it as you feel like flying and its an amazing load of fun! You need a strong and flexible partner, if you wanna fly, but if you are both beginners, it is okay! You can improve together

1. BUILDING TRUST IN YOURSELF AND OTHERS, FINDING SELF LOVE AND EMPATHY

Acro Yoga develop deep self-love, an increased empathy for others and communication skills.

2. ACRO YOGA WILL HELP YOU BUILD CORE STRENGT

AcroYoga utilizes your whole body in varying planes of motions and points of balance. By the dynamic nature of these movements, you have no choice but to depend on one solid center of gravity—by simultaneously engaging mula and uddiyana bandha.

No doubt, your ability to float and not feel like “deadweight” comes from staying connected from deep within your core.

3. WORK ON YOUR CALISTENIC CONDITIONING

The focus doesn’t lie on just your own body weight but also on the other person’s. As a base you must create a strong platform for your partner to move on, for the flyer you must balance and press up from the base without overwhelming the base.

It’s all about bench, overhead and leg pressing for the base with an added bonus of carrying a human being with a moving center of gravity

4. IMPORVE YOUR KINESTHETIC AWARENESS

One of the hardest Tasks of acroyoga is people not knowing where their body is in space. You must learn to examine joint alignment, body shape and position. By practicing acroyoga you’d experience what it feels like when joints are properly aligned to evenly distribute weight.

5. BUILDS YOUR STAMINA

Also while playing your stamina will be build up and improved.

6. HELPS YOU IN MAKING QUICK DECISIONS

In Acro Yoga you need to do quick decions, that are best for your partner and you. This will also be mirrowed in your day to day life.

7. HELP YOU OVERCOME THE FEAR OF FALLING

Acro Yoga will help you to overcome the fear of falling. Cause you cannot do acro yoga as a flyer when you are scared of falling. The rewards are lots of smiles and happiness and a great feeling!

Best is the interval fasting, so you dont eat any food anymore after 5 pm. This helps you imense with sleeping better. Also with losing weight and an overall healthy lifestyle

8. IMPROVES YOUR CONCENTRATION

Acro Yoga is improving your concentration and this helps you to ease your mind from worries and relieve stress, leading to a more peaceful life.

10. BOOSTS YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM AND LEADS TO AN OVERALL IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE

Yoga and Acro Yoga is boosting our immune systems and therefore can improve the quality of our life. You should definitly give Acro Yoga a try. It is totally worth it!

And there are so, so many more benefits of Acro Yoga and why it is so fun. The only way to feel, if it fits to you is: TRY!
Please always try it with experienced yogis or in a Yoga studio with an experienced teacher, otherwise you and others could get hurt!

I hope you will fly, base or spot amazingly!
Namasté,
