Begin your practice this Fall with better body awareness. This Series will feature a variety of styles and asana flows designed to target specific body areas each week, including a breakdown of alignment principles and core strength techniques. We will draw upon the wisdom of yoga, the strength of core training and the compassion of assisted stretches. Ahimsa (non-harming) is the foundation of yoga philosophy, yet injured students pop up across the yoga community. We will learn how to explore postures while keeping a healing agenda for the practice. Beginners are welcome!

Thursday, November 27th
9:30-11am
In March 06, Paige Elenson (Beautiful friend, and AcroYogi) visited Kenya with family. What happened was a most amazing meeting with a new family, the NAFSI Acrobats. NAFSI is a non-profit self-help group registered with the Kenyan Government of Cultural and Social Services. Paige has joined forces with the NAFASI Afrika street children rehabilitation project by starting “The Karma Kula: A Community of Activists” Paige aims to use AcroYoga as a vehicle to artistically empower and rehabilitate street children in Kenya by tapping, nurturing and improving their skills through movement practice.
Paige went back to Kenya in December 06 and took with her many gifts of clothes and money to present to the program from the first round of benefits. This class continues to support their efforts.
Class will be on a donation basis.
Suggested donation is $10 but you can give more or less depending on your financial status.
All proceeds will benefit the Karma Kula fund supporting the rehabilitation of street children in Kenya.

5. 3 AcroYoga Workshops at Prana Yoga Center, Denville NJ
AcroYoga Basics
Wednesday 12/3
6:30-8:30 PM
Open your 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. The class experience includes: Circle Ceremony, Mirrored Asana, Partner Yoga Flow, Assisted Inversions, Partner Acrobatics, Flying Sequences 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!
Flying & Thai Massage
Wednesday 12/10
6:30-8:30 PM
Flying is a dance between Shiva & Shakti, that utilizes the
compliments of strong grounding energy and fluid receptive energy. 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. The base is the partner that creates a stable platform for the flyer to explore inverted aerial asana flows. The relationship between partners deepens as they exchange roles as flyer and base, increasing their capacity for trust and
communication. The flyer receives spinal and muscular release while the base is the recipient of Thai Massage and the Buddhist practice
of metta loving kindness.
Inversions Demystified
Wednesday 12/17
6:30-8:30 PM
The Mystery of inversions is no
match for the wisdom of
acrobatic training techniques!
The ancient yoga texts tell us
that Headstand and Shoulderstand are the King and Queen of Asanas, mainly due to the vast medical benefits. These
and other inversions, such as
handstand and forearmstand,
can be an enjoyable part of your daily practice once you learn how to work progressively. After solidifying spotting techniques, we will progress to Basic Partner Acrobatics and Pyramids, cultivating trust, strength and flexibility while working as a team. A playful, safe, supportive environment will empower the whole room to be upside down and connect to the divine! Some yoga experience recommended, no inversion experience needed.
