Pictures from various Acroyoga workshops

Acroyoga Workshop in Kuala Lumpur on 28th Nov 2010

Welcoming Marc Bauchet back to KL for his 2nd Acroyoga workshop with us.

A brief write up about Marc :-

After years of martial arts practice (mainly Kung Fu and Tai Chi) I began my yogic journey at the end of 2001 with daily Bikram practice. In parallel I studied Contact Yoga in the tracks of Ken Scott Nateshvar and followed his teacher trainings in 2002 and 2003. In the meantime I explored various styles of Yoga and am now alternating between Iyengar and Ashtanga, and exploring other styles (recent crush on Anusara). After several AcroYoga workshops I dived deeper in the practice by taking the 2008 teacher training in the magic Greek island of Lesvos. AcroYoga is for me a delicious cocktail of Yogic wisdom, acrobatic fire, and the healing sweetness of Breema and Thai massage. This year 2010, I am deepening my practice by training in Tulayoga (aerial bodywork), and joining the Thai Massage Circus.
Let's fly and heal!

Acroyoga - Beginner's Level

To have a good balance, it is important to know the Feet Placement

The Grip

This is another grip for different variety of poses.

One of the Therapeutic Flying - excellent stretch for the back of the neck.

Just relax in mid-air, supported whilst getting a gentle massage.

I personally find that my skin glows and my face is radiant everytime after Acroyoga. I presume it is because of the inversions and blood flow to the head. It is much easier being upside down when someone is supporting you, as the base person is supporting your weight. It was to my surprise that it is much easier to do many yoga poses when being suspended as compared to being grounded and doing yoga on my own. The body & mind feels amazingly liberated and you could just let go and be free. But most of all, it is so much fun, especially when jamming with friends, but then again, when doing Acroyoga with new found friends, we become buddy almost instantly.

It was his first time trying out Acroyoga, and mind you, he doesn't have any experience in yoga. With some encouragement from friends, some curiosity and adrenaline pumping, anyone can try Acroyoga. However, it is imperative that Acroyoga is practiced with safety in mind. Hence, always have a spotter nearby ready to catch you.

Getting into the Bird pose.

And there he is flying for the first time.

Your back will be opened after this anti-gravity back bend

Bird Pose

TV Pose, everyone would normally be the happiest at this pose. Why? come for the workshop, and you will find out why.

Folded Leaf, my ultimate favourite pose

Super Yogi - another favourite stretch.

Acroyoga - Intermediate Level

Scorpion Downdog

Backbend with a smile

Strong core-work and good sense of balance

Wheel on Table-top

Acroyoga At The Park

After our recent Acroyoga workshop with Richard Baimbridge, the group of very enthusiastic friends & some new found friends wanted to polish our skills in Acroyoga. It is not as intimidating as the pictures may seem to some of you, it is actually very exhilirating and even very liberating for some of us as you are being balanced in air by another. At some point you would actually think you are flying, but still grounded steadily at the same time. Lots of outburst of laughter and you have heard it many times before, "laughter is the best medicine".

Some core strength and good balance would be helpful for this pose with a strong base. Safety is vital in Acroyoga, therefore, we will always have a Spotter, a person standing close to the Base & Flyer to catch hold of Flyer just in case she/he losses balance.

One variation of the warm-up sessions

We take turns to base (the person at the bottom) and fly (obviously, the person on top flying)

Acroyoga Photos

Getting a neck stretch whilst in Bat. Yes, I was the Batgirl!

This is the Walnut.

My head getting cracked in between Richard Baimbridge's legs. LOL

Spot a paparazzi ?

Flying by the poolside

TV pose with Marc Bauchet
