• Lunar Therapeutic Practice
The Lunar Therapeutic Practice includes Thai massage, therapeutic flying and partner yoga. In these practices both the giver and receiver will feel more full and balanced. Thai massage is an ancient gift from Thailand. It is a practice that was cultivated by monks to open the body using bodyweight, loving touch and mindfulness. Therapeutic flying is an inverted aerial Thai massage! The base supports the flyer with their feet as the flyer hangs passively. The base uses gravity, stretching and metta, “loving kindness” to open the flyers upper body. When the flyer comes down they do Thai massage on the bases warmed up legs. The session is complete when both partner have given and received, based and flown, inhaled and exhaled. Partner yoga is the art of using each other’s body weight and breath to open and warm the body. This is a way for us to use a partner’s strength or bodyweight to open our bodies in new ways. In all of these practices gravity and loving touch help us to let go of fear and pain.
• Solar Acrobatic Practice
The Solar Acrobatic Practices are the tools to unlock that power in others and ourselves. The solar elements are strength building, inversions with spotting, and partner acrobatics. AcroYogis build strength by using acrobatic and gymnastic training techniques like; Push ups, down dog push ups, abdominal exercises and other partner conditioning drills. At the same time they coach each other to encourage positively and teamwork. The inversions and spotting give the chance to build trust and efficient acrobatic techniques for headstands, handstands etc. This takes coaching and teamwork to the next level Partner Acrobatics is it all goes together, in a group of 3: Base, Flyer & Spotter. The base creates the foundation for the acrobatics, the flyer trusts and dances through the air and the spotter makes sure this all happens safely! All of these practices build a playful, strong community that can help us all realize our true potential.
