Acro Yoga is a collaborative movement practice that blends the mindfulness and postures of traditional yoga with the dynamic techniques of acrobatics and the healing elements of therapeutics. Unlike solo yoga, where your focus is primarily on your own alignment and breath, Acro Yoga requires you to work in a team. While it can be an effective way to build strength, mobility, and community, it is important to understand that yoga styles vary significantly, benefits should be described with uncertainty, and injuries can occur.

Because this practice involves lifting and balancing another person, it is not a "one-size-fits-all" activity. It requires clear communication, physical trust, and a commitment to safety protocols that are not present in a standard Vinyasa or Hatha class.

The Core Roles: Base, Flyer, and Spotter

Acro Yoga is built on the interaction between three distinct roles. Understanding these roles is the first step toward participating safely in a session.
