I am so fired up, not to mention extremely sore, from my first AcroYoga workshop. This style of partner yoga takes traditional asana to a gymnastic level combining trust, strength, flexibility, and a lot of courage. Regardless of your yoga background, nothing compares to the feeling of taking flight for the first time. The workshop, taught by Vermont’s first certified AcroYoga teacher, was based on the partner yoga style created by Jason Nemer and Jenny Sauer-Klein. AcroYoga blends Contact Yoga (therapeutic flying), acrobatics, and Thai massage. Having previous experience with partner yoga, I

honestly thought this workshop would be pretty easy; maybe I’d learn a new trick or two. Wow, was I wrong. The class moved right into practicing headstands on our partner’s thighs while they held Half Wheel . We were all a little leery about placing our heads in between a stranger’s legs and lifting into headstand, but surprisingly, it was tremendously easier than I thought, and much, much more fun.
