Heidi and Micah combine their love for hand-to-hand, acroyoga and partner movement to bring you original partner acro sequences over the course of a weekend.
We’ll begin by honing the fundamentals of hand-to-hand and standing acro which will serve as our springboard to advance into more intricate flows. Prepare to change height levels, occasionally switch base-flyer roles, and work with slow weight pours as well as more dynamic transitions. This is an intermediate- advanced workshop aimed to bridge new possibilities between your H2H, L-base and standing acro practice.
We will cap at 20 participants.

????? ???????? has been immersed in the world of partner acrobatics since 2008, starting with an intensive circus program for 9 months at New England Center for Circus Arts in Vermont, and more recently completed 3 years training hand to hand at École Nationale de Cirque in Montreal. Since then he has been performing internationally with several companies, including Cirque du Soleil, Cirque Éloize, and Circus Monti. On his time off, he enjoys exploring the more gentle & creative practice of acroyoga; he can often be found somewhere in a park with someone on his feet.

????? ????? is a slackliner, acroyoga and handstand teacher. From walking some of the world’s longest highlines, to balancing on minimal points of contact in acroyoga, she finds exhilarating focus in responding to weight shifts and playing with gravity. Hand-to-hand has become a wellspring of creative possibility in her acroyoga research. The former architect loves to deconstruct movement and find pathways to make the impossible, possible. She seeks to open students to their own potential on a journey of empowerment, towards that undeniable voice that cries, “We got this!” Her approach is as centered around “priming”—or cultivating cohesive and playful environments for partner movement—as it is around delivering awe-inspiring moves. She teaches worldwide and is senior teacher trainer with Acroyoga Montreal. Heidi is born in California, based in Montreal.
