SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 6 / 10:00 am > 1:00 pm / Julia, Erin and Ali / Register union2yoga@hotmail.com
DESCRIPTION
AcroYoga blends the wisdom of yoga, the dynamic power of acrobatics, and the loving kindness of healing arts. These three lineages form the foundation of a practice that cultivates trust, playfulness, and community. Jenny Sauer-Klein and Jason Nemer co-founded the practice in 2003, which has since touched the lives of hundred of thousands of people world-wide.
This AcroYoga workshop workshop will emphasize the qualities of trust, connection and playfulness. We ignite our collective potential as we support each other to reach new heights. Monkey Madness invites you to experience the full spectrum of your being through opportunities to: give and receive; to support and to be supported; to be strong and sensitive. It is a systematic approach designed to be accessible to every practitioner, and encourages personal transformation in an atmosphere of acceptance, celebration and safety.
