Acroyoga Learning Lab - 3-Hour Special

***
A special three-hour acroyoga class. This is inspired by my original teacher, who would teach three-hour classes. His reasoning was that the first 2.5 hours tire out students. So, in the last half hour, they have to use perfect technique.

Never Too Grown Up For Play — Discover Acroyoga

📅 Sunday, 3/8/25 · 3:00–6:00 PM
📍 Ripley-Grier Studios, 520 8th Ave (Midtown NYC)
💵 Free during Discovery November (donations welcome; normally $50)

Whether you’re brand new or already hooked, this class is your weekly chance to fly, play, and connect.
No partner required—just curiosity and a sense of adventure.

Each class blends:

• Guided warmups and partner drills
• Flow sequences for different levels
• Spotting, progressions, and bailing drills to build confidence

You’ll learn to base (lift), fly (be lifted), and spot (support others) while improving body awareness, communication, and teamwork.

You don’t need to be especially strong—if you can probably hold the top of a push-up for a few seconds, that’s usually enough to start.

✅ A full-body workout that builds strength, flexibility, and coordination
✅ Exercise that feels like play, not work
✅ A social, collaborative way to meet new people
✅ Builds trust, balance, and communication
✅ Each class brings fresh challenges and laughter

📍 Ripley-Grier Studios, 520 8th Ave (between 36th & 37th St.)

Please arrive 15 minutes early for the security check (photo ID required) and to locate the studio room.

You’ll receive the studio number by email on the day of class.
If you sign up last minute, check the lobby screens or ask the front desk.
(Occasionally, the class may be in the building across the street—check your email!)

• Yoga mat
• Snug-fitting clothing with no loops, ties, or zippers (e.g. yoga pants and a fitted top)
• Avoid slippery shorts—they make balancing harder
• Water bottle

Washing machines are acroyoga flows that end in the same pose that they started. Thus, a flyer can keep repeating them as if being tumbled inside of a washing machine. We have a few dedicated students, who are getting close to moving on from poses to washing machines. To support the rally towards washing machines and to get in as much learning as possible, we are offering free classes for March!

🖊️ Participants will be asked to sign a release of liability waiver before class.
