Welcome to the new LeedsAcro foundations class.
Booking required: LeedsAcroIn this series, we'll be covering the fundamentals of partner acrobatics, also known as acroyoga or partner balance. These sessions will be a playful mixture of pair and small group work, and aim to build understanding, confidence and trust amongst all participants.
The sessions are tailored to suit a variety of levels from complete beginner to experienced practitioners. We'll organise groups by experience level so that beginner students learn each move from scratch covering technique for bases, flyers and spotters and ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable exploring new movement patterns. And for those with an existing acro practice, we'll work on calibration, drills, expanding your skill range and reducing the need for spotting.
These classes are intended for beginners (no previous experience necessary) and for those more experienced who are looking to meet pre-reqs for other events such as levelling-up workshops, guest teacher sessions or conventions.
