Some mighty yogis are still flying high after a dynamite workshop weekend at Mighty Yoga! Yogis from Ithaca, Binghamton and even as far as Toronto and Brazil came for a little AcroYoga. Friday featured an overview of the practice. Saturday had a nurturing focus with yummy Thai massage and therapeutic partner poses. Finally Sunday turned everything upside down (in a good way!) with some strength-building inversions and an intro to eye-catching partner acrobatics like Throne and Star (both pictured below).
The weekend sessions began and ended with everyone joining in a circle to share some yogi love and mutual support, a nurturing practice that celebrates the power of community. Because, let's face it, without teamwork, some of these poses wouldn't have been possible. Together, these mighty yogis hung in Folded Leaf. They flew in Bird. They sat in Throne, like the kind Ilana is waving from here (that's Nicole as base!).
And they shined in Star, like Zainab (flyer) and Chris (base) are doing here!
Thank you to all who participated in the fly fest and acrobatics in Mighty's first AcroYoga weekend! And our warm appreciation goes out to Chris Loebsack and assistant Gina Newlin for sharing their passion for flying with this community!
