PARTNER ACROBATICS
For acro enthusiasts, we have not one, but TWO cycles of Advanced Partner Acrobatics with Jason Nemer, co-founder of AcroYoga, running from September 21st-October 12th and October 19th-November 9th. These classes will take place on Wednesdays from 10AM to 12PM and will focus on learning the training techniques used by high-level acrobats to accelerate your skills and take your acro practice into the air.
HANDSTANDS
On September 24th from 4-7 PM we will be offering an intermediate handstand workshop with noted international circus performer and instructor Yanai Lev-Or. This workshop will touch on both solo and basic partnering technique with a focus on various mounts and cultivating strength in the pose. Yanai is only here for a limited time, so don’t miss this special opportunity!
AERIAL HOOP
In October we will be offering two workshops with professional circus artist Tara Quinn, who has been taking the Bay Area by storm with her dynamic combination of aerial hoop and contortion. On October 15th from 4:30 to 6:30, Tara is offering an Intro to Aerial Hoop workshop with a special focus on body positioning and the flow of transitional elements, making this an ideal class for beginners and new aerial hoop students alike. On October 22nd, Tara will be leading a more advanced workshop on Spin Doctor Elements for Aerial Hoop. This workshop will take the fundamentals learned in the Intro Workshop and expand on them with a variety of new spinning moves and choreography designed to enhance grace and fluidity on the aerial hoop. This workshop is suitable for beginning aerial students with some hoop or spinning experience and anyone who has taken Tara’s Intro Workshop.
FLYING ACRO TRANSITIONS
On October 29th and 30th from 3-6 PM we will be offering Flying Transitions for Acro-Demons with Nina and Boris, an advanced Acro-Yoga class focusing on strength and flow in flips and spinning movement. This class is suitable for intermediate to advanced students and promises to take your flying moves to the next level FAST.
