Challenge Overview

Ever wanted to try AcroYoga (a style of yoga that combines yoga and acrobatics)? Or maybe you already practice AcroYoga and can't get enough of it! We'd like to introduce you to an exciting new challenge we've created just for you: the 7-Day AcroYoga Challenge.  Each day, for seven days, we will email you a handpicked AcroYoga pose or transition (in the form of a two-to four-minute tutorial) that you and your yoga friends can learn from home. This challenge will also introduce you to Acro etiquette, base and flyer roles, and spotting for safety—fundamentals you'll need to get the most out of your practice.  Sign up today, and you're in! Join us on the mat.
