Relax your Body - Open your Heart
during this ‘Yoga of Acro’ Lunar retreat style weekend
EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT UNTIL SEP 1
Yoga of Acro are based in Amesterdam and are visiting Vienna to give you a retreat style weekend experience focused on Lunar Acroyoga.
This weekend invites you to slow down, to connect with your own body, to connect with others in a non-performance kind of way, and to practice receiving the healing effect of touch.
The weekend is a mix of Yoga, Thai Massage and Therapeutic Flying (Lunar Acroyoga). All levels of experience are welcome (from complete beginners to seasoned Acroyogis).
What to expect:
2-day intensive focused on the inside of acroyoga. You will learn the soft, receiving, and relaxing side of Acroyoga.
The schedule will be a mix of yoga, partner yoga, Thai massage, therapeutic flying, pranayama, authentic relating and group dynamics.
This weekend is for:
Everyone that has a wish to connect to others and improve their interpersonal relationships.
Acroyoga practitioners that want to learn and improve lunar acro skills and group dynamics.
People interested in massage techniques that want to learn more tools to help relax and heal the body.
Movement teachers that want to incorporate exercises to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system to improve relaxation and recovery.
Extra information
This weekend intensive is beginner-friendly and you do not need to come with a partner. We will rotate partners and you will be able to meet many new friends to practice with.
This weekend includes a lot of practices that make you touch other people. We will provide tools and practices around consent, however, if you are not comfortable with touch and closeness, expect to be challenged.
We offer multi-level exercises on therapeutic flying. If you are more experienced with Acroyoga, we are happy to show you more advanced options as well. Keep in mind that the purpose of the lunar side of acroyoga is to connect, breath and heal together. This often means that less is more!
Therapeutic flying is an excellent place to start if you don’t have a lot of experience in Acroyoga (as a base), as the poses are slow and there are not many transitions. If you are working with a person that is heavier and/or taller than you, you are in luck! We have developed new material for the practice, specifically for this situation. Instead of giving the Thai Massage in return, with the adaptations the practice of flying therapeutics becomes accessible to everyone. Most of the time we will give multiple options, so you can decide which ones to try and receive the benefits in either case.
