About this event
LGBTQIA2S+ Acro Yoga Workshop
Acro yoga is a great way to add play back into your adult life! People are always surprised by how much they are able to accomplish in just one class. Come connect with friends, your partner(s), or new people. No experience or partner needed! There are always people that sign up alone! Come meet new friends within the community. We will be working in groups of 3 + throughout the classes.
The workshop will be taught by Aiden (he/him) a queer transman and he will be assisted by Fabricio (He/him) and Jana (she/her)
"When I started Acro Yoga I remember looking around and thinking that I wouldn't be able to do anything. I was amazed that so many poses were to beginner friendly. Now I get to look around the room and see my students' faces light up when they achieve something they thought was impossible for them only a few seconds before." -Aiden
We want to create a space for those who are loudly queer as well as those questioning or quieter. If you feel like you aren't queer or trans enough we welcome you all the same. This space will however, will be a container for LGBTQIA2s+ folk and not allies. All body sizes and fitness levels encouraged to come out to play. The class is catered to a beginner level but is open to everyone. There will be a large focus on community building and play. If you have never done Acro Yoga before we would love to have you out! The class will start with an opening circle where we share our names and pronouns, followed by some warm-ups and games. We will then go through a series of acro poses and end off with a closing circle.

I want Acro to be available regardless of finances! Payment plans, discounted tickets, and trades available for those in need. I have personally taken advantage of these arrangements as a student so please don't hesitate to message me if you need an alternative payment arrangement.
What to bring/wear:
Please bring a Yoga mat, and a water bottle. Tight fitting or comfortable clothing that you can be active and go upside down in is recommended.
Safety is a top priority in our classes and we will be teaching spotting with every new pose. We will encourage everyone to try basing, flying, and spotting in the workshops, but will also give you space to choose not to participate in any of the roles if you choose otherwise.
Accessibility:
There are two flights of stairs to access the class space. If you have other accessibility questions or needs please reach out.
