ACROYOGA
During the retreat, we will offer daily Acroyoga lesson. We will work with material that is great for people learning Acro for the first time as well as challenging the more experienced Acroyogis. You don't need a partner to join as we will play in groups. AcroYoga combines acrobatic concepts with a yogic consciousness. AY is a playful dance of movement finding balance between two bodies. Playing stimulates us physically and mentally. Those that play together grow together.
