Registration Closed: Above & Beyond Summer 2021 - level 2 Intermediate Monkey Play

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

Have you been dreaming of flying washing machines like a graceful bird? Being a steady base?

Or overcoming your fear of heights and building deeper trust?

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 weekly partner play and daily 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 up 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.

At the lovely LOU Oudenoord, close to the center of Utrecht.

A cozy yoga shala with plants and lots of windows that allow sunlight.

But if the weather Gods are in our favour, we'll be teaching in nature,

maybe even using the water to our advantage.
