Acroyoga for Beginners - 4 week series

We're starting up classes in Nelson!!

A beautiful opportunity to be in your body, play with balance and pressure, and make some fun friends!!

AcroYoga combines acrobatic concepts with a yogic consciousness. It is a movement fusion of yoga, dance, therapeutics, and acrobatics.

AcroYoga helps people from all cultures connect with each other through the common language of play. Through movement, play, creativity, and communication, we have the potential to enter into meaningful connection as we take risks, build trust, and have fun with one another.

The classes are designed in the AcroYogaMontreal tradition which focuses on creativity and exploration within the form. Check out www.Acroyoga.com for inspirational photos and videos!

These classes will be accessible and engaging to absolute beginners as well as to those with a more advanced Acroyoga practice. All body types, shapes, and fitness levels welcome <3

This is a 4-week session, meeting every Tuesday in May.
Drop-ins welcome.

Koha appreciated

**Please bring your own yoga mat or foam camping mat if you have one, or towel

Acroyoga at the New Zealand Juggling and Circus Festival 2021

 What a fabulously wonderful weekend playing with jugglers, acrobats, aerialists, balance masters, street and stage performers, and all round playful people at the New Zealand Juggling and Circus Festival this weekend! 

It was an amazing opportunity for highly skilled professionals in one area of expertise to try their hand at another and I had the privilege of teaching Acroyoga to two dozen eager creatives.  I didn't get a single picture all weekend, but I am excited to say that it will be happening all over again next year, here in Nelson!

I hope to play with you all there!

Aerial Silks in Nelson, New Zealand!

I've been teaching aerial silks for decade, and I Love working with beginners. Silks is Hard, and I love helping folks get over the hump from 'I can't do this' to 'Wow! I'm doing it! What's next?!'

Looking forward to bringing aerial silks to Nelson next month!  

Let my current Golden Bay students be an inspiration to those just starting on the journey in Nelson!

10 minutes 10 days challenge

Even with all this extra time, it can still feel hard to get up and moving some days, right? I know folks are struggling with motivation, and I also know how much accountability has helped me to stay motivated.

So I'm offering up 10 days of motivation, just 10 minutes a day. I'll give you a different 10 minute workout every day working on strength building in different parts of the body, enough to warm you up, get your heart rate up, get the endorphins flowing, and feel the burn. I'll also offer modifications to make things easier or harder so you get a workout that works for you.

Oftentimes I find that with just 10 minutes of workout I can go from gravity bound in my PJs to inspired to go for a walk, a run, do some yoga, get out in the garden. It's just a matter of waking the body UP!

And some of you know, I teach aerial silks. And all of my students and I have been homebound for so many weeks now, so I conjured up this challenge to get them keeping strong until we can train in person again. I created this for them and I'm offering it up for anyone else who wants to join in.

I'm asking just $10 ($1 a day) for ten mini workouts. You'll have other people on the challenge with you and you can find an accountability buddy here to keep yourself committed if that helps you stay on track.

10 days, 10 minutes a day, for $10 ($1 a day)

We'll start on Monday, May 3rd.

I hope you are all finding gratitude and joy every day. 

Be well
