Ecstatic playtime

For all

The intention for this workshop is to create a playful and innocent space, where laughter and joy will flow true us. We will explore elements from Acroyoga, Tantric breathing and ecstatic dance.

The journey will start with grounding meditation and smooth breathing. As we tap into the NOW, we begin to move and dance with the rhythms of life. We greet and meet each other with conscious touch, before we play with acrobatic moves and stretches in couples. Let us feel into the energy we create together: are we ready to calm down with some light massage or do we blast some beats and tap into our full ecstatic freedom?

This workshop is going to be light hearted, are open for all and for those how want to reconnect with their playful being.

Acrobatic Union

Acroyoga blends the wisdom of yoga, the dynamic power of arcrobatics and the loving kindness of healing arts. This workshop is for couples/partners who want to explore the therapeutic benefits of this practice.

Bases (givers) will guide the flyers (receviers) into “flying” positions with their feets maneuvering the receivers into different therapeutic poses. The Receivers focus will be on surrendering and trusting their partner, while they receive an upside down flying thai massage. While the Base focus will be on building strength and experience how your touch and unconditional love will affect your partner. We will focus on having a balance between surrender and strength, Shiva and Shakti, Yin and Yang. Both on a personal level and in synergy with your partner.

This is a beginners class and you don't need any former skills to join. We will take you through the basics and show step-by-step how to get a solid base, and a calm and conscious flyer. In the process you will also get to practice some fundamental skills within:

- Communication and building trust with your partner

- Massage skills

Come with a partner and bring your good energy!
