AcroYoga Workshop in LA

February 13, 2017 By lizinlosangeles Leave a Comment Filed Under: Fitness, Wellness

AcroYoga in Los Angeles

I received an invitation to join an AcroYoga Workshop in LA with two of Los Angeles’s top yogis at Equinox Beverly Hills.  It sounded terrifying but yet fascinating. My sense of adventure kicked in and I decided to attend the workshop.

I discovered AcroYoga is like yoga, acrobats, Thai massage and couples therapy mixed into one dynamic class. AcroYoga makes many poses more accessible and therapeutics than yoga practices like Vinyasa, Ashtanga or Power Yoga. Unlike practicing alone, AcroYoga teaches open communication and requires trust.

After a few warm-up exercises, the workshop started with basic poses like Seated Partner Breathing, Double Down Dog and The Front Bird. The Front Bird is a balancing pose that teaches the flyer to let go. In this particular pose, my role was the flyer and the instructor was the base (so no spotter needed, only a photographer).  There was nothing “basic” about this pose and letting go was not easy for me. However, I finally give up control and was able to do this pose, which proved to be fun.

A more complicated AcroYoga pose is demonstrated below by the two Yogis: Harold Gim and Erin Grossman.

The workshop was followed by mimosa and chocolate treats! What could be better than some bubbly after an intense workout?

I am glad I pushed past my comfort zone and tried this workshop. Thanks to the instructors, I did poses I never imagined I could do. If you are tired of the same old vinyasa flow classes, I really recommend this yoga practice. So, who wants to join me for the next AcroYoga class?

I was surprised to see how many of you in my community are also emotional eaters. I think the biggest struggle of emotional eating imho is that you don’t even notice how much you’re eating. I once binge ate a box of salami without even realizing cuz I thought I had failed an exam. ⁣
⁣
The best tip I can give you is instead of focusing on emotional eating, focus on the emotions and know they’re temporary. That’s what I remind myself. ⁣

We collectively have difficult memories of this pa We collectively have difficult memories of this past year. But we can still leave 2020 with a sweet note by concentrating on all the good things (no matter how small) happened this year! 🥳⁣

I know I stressed out a lot by worrying  about the health of my family and friends. I felt truly isolated because of social distancing. But, I also miraculously found a job after being unemployed for what felt like a decade + my mom TG is (slowly) recovering from two minor surgeries (which could have been worse if not diagnosed right away)! I also had the support of my IG community when I felt lonely or bored (so thank you guys 💋)⁣
⁣
And we can welcome 2021 with a prayer: Praying this year to be better and healthier and happier. 🎆🎊🎉⁣
