Acroyoga Fun Time…

Hey lovelies, it’s a beautiful new week, hope you had a lovely weekend?

I had so much fun practicing simple acroyoga poses. Acroyoga involves two or more people.
The one under is the base like my partner Bassey here, the second person is called the flyer, in this case I am the flyer.
The flyer is usually more flexible and has some level of stability like the base.

The third person is called the spotter or the eye, he/she supports, spots and make sure to guide both the base and flyer.
We had a spotter during practice, but for these shoots we did it on our own because we were sure of what we wanted to do.

The first picture shows the base in child’s pose and the flyer in crow pose. This involves lots of core strength and stability while the child’s pose involves hip and shoulder mobility.
Before getting into this pose we practiced for 30minutes to warm up our joints around our shoulders, wrists and back. Before trying any of these pose, it’s important to warm up properly and get into the pose gently.

In the second picture, the flyer was in a king cobra pose while the base was in a bridge pose position to support. It’s always good for the base to be strong especially have upper body strength to support and guide the base.

We practice Acroyoga twice a week because of all the health benefits such as improved strength and flexibility, core and energy power and the fun you have with your partner.
Mentally it helps me clear my head and just have a good time while practicing.
