AcroYoga Adventure level 3 - Advanced Ninja Skills

We have created a three-month AcroYoga Adventure for those committed to playful greatness ;)

In this course we'll get off the floor and up in the air. So not just challenging L-basing flows, but higher level standing acrobatics as well.

The things you believed to be far away as the moon will soon be at your fingertips. We’ll help you reach a lot (and maybe all!) of your personal and physical goals. With weekly – passionately given – classes, structured challenges and inspiring assignments for partner play and solo practice.

We’ll focus on fundamentals like tightness and lightness (core strength & balance) and softness (oh-so feathery feet and hand grip). We’ll teach you how to massage and stretch each other in refreshing gravity-defying ways. We’ll challenge you to try funky new transitions, washing machines, whips and pops in a playful way: so be prepared to laugh and sweat. Fun guaranteed.

You’ll build strength, elegance, and flexibility. Develop more self-esteem and body awareness. Master new techniques. You’ll probably find an acro partner (or two). And, last but not least: you’ll be part of a creative, endorphin inducing, oxytocin overdosing, loving kindness-loaded tribe. So let’s fly high! The sky is (not) the limit.

—THIS COURSE INCLUDES A SPECIAL PROGRAM! —

Every other week, Roald and Marieke will teach a full 4-hour long class

filled with high level partner acrobatics. The main focus of these classes

will be on the Solar aspect of AcroYoga.

We will close every class with a Lunar session (flying or massage).

The other Saturdays, Roald will teach a 3-hour class (partly assisted by Marijke),

of which half of the time will be focused on solidifying the things you learned in the previous week(s).

Also, you'll be working on personal sticking points and challenges to help you find your next level in acrobatics.

The other half of the class is dedicated to dive deeper into the Lunar aspect of AcroYoga: Therapeutic Flying treatments, The art of holistic touch, mindful communication and Advanced Thai Massage techniques.

This special program will help you to not just become a kick ass acrobat, but also develop your practitioner skills.

The program will consist of 12 classes with:

√Partner yoga, strength conditioning, fun & games

√Handstand practice, advanced L-basing and standing acrobatics

√Lunar Space: Therapeutic Flying treatments

√Thai Yoga Massage

√Deepening your massage skills and the art of holistic touch

—Furthermore, we will offer—

√Inspiring assignments for solo and partner home practice

We have designed this program as an immersion into AcroYoga for three full months.

An opportunity for you to make this a wonderful & nourishing part of your life.

This course will be guided by Roald & Marieke.

—SKILLS REQUIRED FOR PARTICIPATION -
