February Pop-Up: Acro Yoga! Friday February 1st, 8th, 15th, and 22nd at 6:10PM

They're back!!! We had so much fun with the Yoga Twins back in December at the Christmas Karma Acro Yoga Workshop that we are bringing them back for our weekly pop-up class this month! Acro Yoga combines the rooted practice of yoga with the dynamic power of acrobatics. This partner-based practice can be done by anyone, from a new yogi to an experienced gymnast. Throughout class, you’ll learn the necessary building blocks to take your physical practice to new heights (literally) all the while developing open and compassionate communication with your partner. Whether you come with a friend or make new ones at the studio, we’ll bring you together into groups of 4 to rotate roles between base, flier and spotters. This is a practice that cultivates trust, playfulness, and community.  Photo ops guaranteed!
