AcroYoga blends the spiritual wisdom of yoga, the loving kindness of Thai massage, and the dynamic power of Acrobatics. These three ancient lineages form this practice that cultivates trust, connection and playfulness. This workshop is for all levels: no re-requisites necessary! Come alone or bring a friend!

Saturday, 16th. April, from 10 a.m. To 5:30 p.m. with 90 min. lunch break (1 to 2:30 p.m.)
Welcome to the sacred dance of Thai massage! We will explore the element of metta (loving kindness) in Flying Therapeutic flows, deepening our connection to the earth and our own center. We will cultivate the supporting and nurturing qualities of the earth in our bodies, discovering more stability, inner quiet, trust and steadiness. Using self-healing techniques we will connect to our heart, enabling us to give from a place of abundance, and also enabling us to to receive. Learn to understand the language of your body, to listen when it speaks to you and know what it needs. Discover which parts of you desire more softness, love and care, and which parts are strong, supportive and able to give. Using thaimassage basics we will learn therapeutic flying techniques that help us to release tension and completely absorb healing touch into our body. Experience the sweet surrender to gravity, as the earths pull enables us to come deeper into twists and stretches and carries us into a deep state of relaxation.

Shivas Dance: Inversions and Acrobatics
price 1560 czk or 1440 czk student price
Sunday, 17th April, from 9 a.m. To 5 p.m. with 2 hours lunch break ( 1 to 3 p.m.)
In Hindu Mythology, Shiva is known as the God of transformation and is a powerful symbol of change. When we invite new and good things into our life, it often means letting go of that which no longer serve us. Through the dance of acrobatics we empower ourselves to let go of fear, becoming more graceful and confident in our bodies. Using the laws of body mechanics and techniques that help us stay tighter and
cultivate strength, we open more possibilities to our practice and experience how easy acrobatics can be! We will play with inversions, partner balancing, and our connection to our core, the energy center of the manipura (solar plexus) chakra. By working together as a team we create a safe and playful environment. Let your inner child shine through! Pre-requisites: prior AcroYoga experience (ex. the Friday or Saturday workshop), or a free-standing headstand.
