Welcome to be immersed into the healing part of the AcroYoga practices!
Fill up your cup of being held and celebrating community! The Thai & Fly Retreat focuses on the healing, relaxing and rejuvenating practices of Yoga, Thai-Yoga Massage and Therapeutic Flying.
Come join us on the journey of true listening, diving deep into the art of touch down on the ground and up in the air.
“This is where the magic happens – together, with open hearts in beautiful nature.”
SKILLS COVERED
- Lunar Yoga with Focus on receiving more health & wellbeing
- Thai-Yoga Massage in Supine, Prone, Side Lying, & Seated positions
- Forward, Backward Flying & Reverse Flying
- Therapeutic Flying Sequences
In preparation for the dance of Thai Yoga Massage, embodied AcroYoga Therapeutics teaches the basic body mechanics with a focus on cultivation of self-love. We will go deeper into releasing tension and freeing up more life energy in body and spirit!
The techniques learned on the floor are then translated to the flying work, using the element of gravity to amplify the healing flow of prana (life force). Often, we will work in teams of three for safety and support, and everyone will have the opportunity to base and fly, heal and be healed.
This training offers invaluable tools for yoga teachers, massage therapists, and energy workers who wish to develop a new dimension of healing touch for students or clients.
“The energy is so so clear, deeply heart centred. And the intent with which Shambala is held is so beautiful, it has become a massively important of my life”.
