Acro Yoga with Joe Barnett ~ Saturday, February 4th, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM ~ Acro Yoga combines acrobatic concepts with a yogic consciousness. The application of bandhas (internal locks) dristi (gaze) ujjayi breath (sounded breath) and vinyasa flow (synchronization of movement with breath) to a partner acrobatic practice gave birth to Acro Yoga. Being ‘in the moment’ and in balance with another person is the essence of Acro Yoga.
Acro Yoga with Joe Barnett
Saturday, February 4th
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Acro Yoga combines acrobatic concepts with a yogic consciousness. The application of bandhas (internal locks) dristi (gaze) ujjayi breath (sounded breath) and vinyasa flow (synchronization of movement with breath) to a partner acrobatic practice gave birth to Acro Yoga. Being ‘in the moment’ and in balance with another person is the essence of Acro Yoga.
A few words from Joe:
"I have been playing Acro Yoga since 2006, the year my teacher Jason Magness came to Tucson. Magness is one of the original seeds of Slackline Yoga (yogaslackers.com) and a senior student of Jenny Sauer-Kline and Jason Nemer, the founders of AcroYoga San Francisco (acroyoga.org). Magness’ class blends his expertise in Ashtanga Vinyasa, Slackline, and Acro Yoga. I was devoted within the first few gatherings.
In July 2010, I traveled to Montreal to meet the original Acro Yoga Kula, led by Eugene Poku and Jessie Goldberg. I received both levels of Teacher Certification offered by Acro Yoga Montreal (acroyoga.com). Through this group I found a very different dimension of creative expression in the form, an expression that invites all forms of art to integrate with its organic expression of Asana.
I continue to train with Magness and Poku & Goldberg. However, I have gathered much of my Acro Yoga from the random Acro Yogis I have met at various beaches and parks over the past 5 years. The ever growing and evolving matrix of fellow Bases and Flyers throughout the world is my greatest source of wisdom (and joy)."
Join Joe for this fun, light, and invigorating 2-hour experience of Acro Yoga. No acrobatic experience necessary! Bring your sense of adventure and let's have some fun!
Cost: $40.00 per person.
