2nd European AcroYoga Montreal Immersion in Antwerp

Event Details

EUROPEAN ACROYOGA MONTREAL IMMERSION – “ACRO EXPRESSIONS”

For intermediate & advanced practitioners.

We are happy to announce the second AcroYoga Montreal intensive training in Europe!

This 4–day immersion is based on AcroYoga Montreal’s principals, techniques and skills, offered in a constructive and progressive way, by 4 experienced and certified teachers from Europe and Canada.

The characteristics of the Montreal style are ‘AcroYoga flow, slow core controlled movements, creativity, acrobatics with yogic consciousness, out of the box thinking’, precise and safe spotting.

This training is open for intermediate and advanced AcroYoga practitioners, and is offered to deepen and expand your practice as a base, flyer and spotter. You will rediscover & improve your core through yoga, workouts, group training and a lot of acro. Redefine, refine & deepen your acro techniques: learning first to move slow & controlled in order to open a door to a wider range of possibilities. You will definitely discover original AcroYoga Montreal material, presented in a constructive & progressive way. For example: counter balances, supported handstands, (supported) back bending, shoulder stand and handstand presses, AcroYoga flow, arts of movement, contact improvisation and more, under a dedicated spotting.

Besides the technical approach, you will learn how to think from a creative point of view – thinking ‘out of the box’; how to create a flow, how to give your practice more personality, how to connect with your partner, communicate, switching roles, stepping out of your comfort zone.
