Acro Yoga 101 (Copy)

Teachers: Reno Gorman ERYT200 and Sheri House

Leap Yoga Studio, Folsom CA, Saturday July 20 1:00-3:30pm

$45 early registration, $50 day of. Register at www.leapyoga.net/workshops/

Learn the FUNdamentals of AcroYoga with Reno and Sheri! All levels welcome, no experience or partner necessary.

AcroYoga is a blend of partner yoga and acrobatics. It's an incredibly fun movement practice that takes your yoga to new heights. You'll learn fundamental techniques and poses in this workshop so you can safely and effectively base and/or fly. You'll develop strength, flexibility, and balance through this practice, and have a lot of fun while doing it. The gravity defying moves may look intimidating or impossible, but are a lot more doable than you might think. 

No experience necessary - any yoga, dance, or gymnastic experience is helpful though. 

No need to come with a partner - we work in groups of 3 or 4, so that there is always at least one safety spotter. And, this gives you a chance to rotate out to try another role or to take a break as needed. 

No need to bring a mat, Reno will bring padded mats that work better for AcroYoga than yoga mats.

Reno has been teaching AcroYoga for over a decade, and teaches across the country at conventions and festivals. He is a certified AcroLove instructor and also a ERYT-200 yoga instructor with over 20 years experience practicing yoga. He is co-founder of The Handstand Nation and performs with Aries Moon Circus. He teaches a weekly AcroYoga class on Mondays from 6:30-8:30pm

This is an all levels type workshop. Great for beginners who have never done a headstand to receive foundational cues and techniques, while more experienced practitioners will get refinement cues and next level variations to practice. Props and the wall will be used to progress safely and effectively.
Getting upside down doesn't have to be hard or dangerous. And there are many benefits to incorporating inversions into your practice, from fighting depression to a healthier immune system.

Good alignment, technique, and safety are Reno's top priorities when teaching inversions like headstand, scorpion, shoulderstand, and more. Using props, the wall, and even other yogis opens up a plethora of upside down options. This workshop is suitable for beginners to experienced practitioners.
