Last night the Acro Yoga crew got together again and jammed at Kiwanis Park. We had some new people out which was super awesome. As usual, everyone was utterly amazing. Below are a few pictures from the get together. If you want to join us in the future, email me at david -at- yogahobos.com and request to be added to the mailing list.
On June 6th, a group of yogis and myself came together at Kiwanis Park in Tempe, Arizona for some Acro Yoga. To say that it was fun would be an understatement. The entire set of pictures in full resolution can be seen here. Below are some pictures I thought I’d share on this blog. I’ll miss my Acro Yogi friends while I’m in Europe, but I look forward to sharing what I learn with them once I get back. Without further ado, some of the pictures from Acro Yoga in the Park.
In the early evening last night, a group of yogis from Inner Vision Yoga in Chandler, Arizona and myself went to Pecos Park for a little Acro Yoga fun. Other than myself, none of the yogis had done much Acro Yoga in the past, but my god, did they do absolutely amazing! Brian, Julie, Stacy, Lori, and myself grabbed the Acro Yoga manual and dove right in.
If you would like to see all the full size pictures from the evening, go here. Otherwise, the images below are a select few showcasing just how much fun Acro Yoga is.
Stacy, Brian, and Julie started things off with a little triple plank pose action. Each is showing some amazing strength and concentration.
Brian, Lori, and Stacy enjoy a bonding moment. This was the first time I’ve been a part of a group that was able to pull off this pose. I was quite excited.
Lori and I enjoy High Flying Whale.
Julie flies Brian with no trouble at all. Brian is a big, strong guy which goes to show just how strong Julie is and what wonderful technique she utilizes as a base.
Brian and Stacy work towards High Flying Whale with their fliers.
Stacy flying Lori with Brian doing an excellent job of spotting.
The following two pictures show Brian basing and Julie flying high.
Julie and I ready for her to dismount by rolling backwards off my hands. I love this pose 
Me with Brian in Super Yogi. His back was a little tweaked so I utilized flying therapeutics to stretch him out.
Lori flying high on my hands.
Stacy pulling off a nice shoulder stand while I based.
Brian and Julie also performing shoulder stand. Isn’t Acro Yoga beautiful?
Julie in throne as Brian bases.
Lori in throne as I base. I love the technique of getting into straddle throne.
Lori, who doesn’t weigh much more than 100 pounds basing me. I weigh about 190 pounds. It just goes to show that proper bone stacking technique can allow you to perform amazing and super fun feats.
We had so much fun. Everyone did incredibly well and were a pleasure to play with. I hope everyone can get together soon so we can play more.
