A Journey Begins
What is Acro?
AcroYoga is a dynamic and collaborative form of physical practice that combines elements of yoga, acrobatics, and Acro Therapeutics. It involves two or more participants working together as a base (the person supporting from the ground), a flyer (the person lifted or elevated), and a spotter (who ensures safety).In AcroYoga, participants use trust, balance, and communication to create various partner poses and flows. It's a practice that emphasizes connection, strength, flexibility, and mindfulness. AcroYoga can be practiced for various purposes, including fitness, personal growth, and building a sense of community.It's known for its playful and joyful approach to movement and human connection.To learn more about Tampa Acro, click on any of the options below:
