Do I need any movement experience?

What is Acro Yoga?
Acroyoga is a form of partner yoga that combines yoga, acrobatics, and Thai massage.

The practice emphasizes trust, communication, and connection between partners.
What if I don’t like Yoga?
Acroyoga can be a great way to explore movement in a different way! You might still enjoy the acrobatic and playful aspects of the practice, or the opportunity to connect with others through movement.
What should I wear to a class?
Wear comfortable, flexible clothing that allows you to move freely. Avoid clothing that is too loose or baggy, as it can get in the way during certain poses.
What should I bring to a class?
