“As a middle-aged, stiff-jointed guy new to yoga, I was anxious about coming to classes with women who seemed more limber and experienced. Kara made me feel right at home, accepted me where I was, and helped me see that I could really do this. She really does have a gracious heart.”

Trust, Connection & Playfulness
AcroYoga Fundamentals
Open you practice with the ease, comfort and the support of a partner. This workshop touches upon all the disciplines that AcroYoga offers, combining Yoga, Acrobatics, and Thai Massage. Grounded in the breath, we will draw upon the natural forces of gravity and “metta” loving kindness to encourage the body to let go of fear and tension. Students are requested to have familiarity with yoga. No partner necessary.
Monkey Business
For the Serious and Delirious
This workshop will traverse the inner realms of contemplative meditation to communal ecstatic satiation, all within the confines of the AcroYoga practice. May include but not limited to Asana, Partner Stretching, Monkeying Around, Flying Transitions and Chanting. Come ready to play and surrender to your inner child. For when the playing flows the ego goes. Previous AcroYoga experience required. No partner necessary.
Therapeutic Flying and Thai Massage
AcroYoga Therapeutics
We will be focusing on the Therapeutic aspects of the practice. During this workshop you will experience the strong grounding energy of being a base, as well as the fluid receptive energy of being a flyer. It is a practice of giving and receiving, honoring and accepting, inhaling and exhaling that will take both yogis into a new place of union and bliss. There is no need to bring a partner.
