AcroYoga


The first of our guest bloggers Anna Karides has contributed a piece about AcroYoga:
Yogis that Fly!


AcroYoga was developed in 2003 by Jason Nemer and Jenny Sauer- Klein in San Francisco. AcroYoga blends the spiritual wisdom of yoga, the loving kindness of Thai massage, and the dynamic power of Acrobatics. The practice aims to bring about connection, trust and safe play; in other words AcroYoga is the yoga of trust and communication.

There are plenty of ongoing AcroYoga classes in London and workshops throughout the country, as well as across the world. It’s ideal for those that enjoy inversions, and are happy to work with a partner or in groups. Be prepared to have a great time, make lots of new friends and accomplish way more than you thought you were capable of!



AcroYoga poses look so beautiful and elegant, and never pass by unnoticed. AcroYoga is great fun and unlike most other forms of yoga, the practice is performed mainly in pairs or in groups. An AcroYoga class first takes a typical vinyasa flow in a circle, then into the air with the support of your partner, whether that is for a therapeutic or acrobatic flow. AcroYogis also often take part in public demos and performances, and one of their favourite past times is to jam in the park, especially when the sun is shining. Due to the nature of this practice, AcroYoga is a very social style of yoga that brings people together, with communities all around the globe.  So it’s not just about taking your practice to another level.




Happy Flying!

Intimate Yoga Session with Howard Napper

We recently held a press morning at the Mind Body Spirit Festival, where we are the product sponsors of The Yoga Shala. It was a successful and enjoyable morning with Howard Napper giving a 30 minute ‘Stress Busting’ yoga session and personal one to ones with the press.  
It was also a nice opportunity to have a stroll around the MBS Festival.  The other exhibitors had a wonderful variety of healing, relaxing and spiritual things on offer.  It is so rare to be in a place with so many likeminded, friendly people.
Overall a marvellous day and we hope you all had an opportunity to visit the Festival yourselves.
