AcroYoga!

During my travels I discovered AcroYoga; this practice blends the spiritual wisdom of yoga, the loving kindness of Thai massage, and the dynamic power of Acrobatics. These three ancient lineages form the foundation of a unique art that cultivates trust, connection and creativity. The highest aim is to bring individuals into a state of union with themselves, with each other, and with the divine. From this place of mutual support the true self can be realized, honoured and shared for the benefit of all.

Although the origin of the term is unclear, it has been used at Santa Monica Muscle Beach informally since the 1990s. The physical practice itself was first documented in 1938 as practiced by Krishnamacharya with small children as flyers. In the 2000s the term AcroYoga was claimed as a proprietary term to promote a specific school.

My first attempt was far from this! Instead, ‘Om, Shanti,’ I'm a clumsy little brown thing with  sciatica, and a penchant to attempt anything bizarre, whimsical, enchanting, brutal or sexy. Makes for a nice mix, wouldn't you say? Ling~*

AcroYoga are for yogis, that want to expand further, let me leave you with some of inspirational poises:
