As the name suggests, AcroYoga is a fun fusion of yoga and acrobatics. Although some records indicate that AcroYoga was being practiced as far back as 1938, it has only truly started to gain traction at the turn of the millennium.

There are six benefits of AcroYoga:


#1: Improves balance

One of the fundamental elements of the AcroYoga practice is balance. Whether you are practicing poses that involve flying, or simply relying on each other to create a beautiful shape together, both require balance.

#2: Strengthens core

Whether you are the base holding another person up in the air, or the flyer trying to balance yourself while performing an intricate pose, both would not be possible without core stability. The beauty of AcroYoga is that it engages and strengthens the entire core and back in a functional way, as opposed to only building vanity muscles.

#3: Increases flexibility

Many AcroYoga poses require active and passive flexibility. In flyers, the target is often hip mobility or backbends, whereas the base can work on their hip flexors and shoulders. 


#4: Stability and coordination

Even regular yoga can be disorienting, especially if it involves being upside down. In addition to manipulating your body into the right position, those who practice AcroYoga have to rely on another person (or people) for balance and support. Although it presents a great challenge, it also results in better spatial awareness, stability, and physical coordination.

#5: Improves communication skills

It is extremely important to have a clear line of communication with your AcroYoga partner, as well as the spotter if you have one. Communication is what allows you to practice safely and efficiently. The more you practice, the more you will learn to clearly communicate your needs and boundaries, a skill that can be extremely useful on and off the yoga mat.


#6: Builds trust

Every person involved in AcroYoga practice has to work closely with others. In order for the practice to be fruitful and enjoyable, it is important to establish trust between all participants, including the spotter. It’s incredibly fun!!
