Hi lovelies...Its Friyah!!!
Hope you had a nice day?
Yea, this is a continuation of my last post. Yesterday, i met @emjoe and we tried acro yoga,
Now,

What is Acro Yoga? It is a physical practice that combines yoga and acrobatics together usually, practiced by 2 or more persons
Using our practice as example...

1.The Base @emjoe
2.The Flier myself
3.Spotter. my 8year old yoga student

We started with warm up, then we stretched and we had a little balance and form practice..

The first attempt we made was a flop since we didn't fully understand Acro but with little practice we got to understand more. These are few things we learned from our practise.

Acro-Yoga is Fun!
Even with all the mistakes, we both had fun. Trying to balance upside down, shaking, holding hands and falling was all part of the fun.

You Need To Focus
Yes, jokes aside you need to focus and concentrate to be on the same page with your partner, we learned it the hard way though 😌

It is breathtaking
Seriously, it feels more intense than usual yoga practice, lots of energy burning out. Maybe because its our first time.

Trust Issues?
Don't practice acro yoga with someone you don't trust..just saying😀
At a point during our practice i was so scared of falling over but, then @emjoe said 'don't worry i will hold you' i trusted him and truly he didn't let me down.

Communication
Yes! Very important, you need to communicate with your partner always, especially when you are tired.

You don't need to be too serious!
Just enjoy every moment of the practice..

*We both need more practice but, also @emjoe needs to build more upper body strength...
