Romaine Furmston-Evans
A dedicated yoga leader and student. I have been practising yoga for most of my life, but don’t worry it’s not as intimidating as it sounds. I take a holistic approach to yoga, empowering you to embrace the fullness of yoga exactly as you are right now. You don’t need to be fitter, more flexible, younger, thinner or anything else to embark on your yoga journey. I teach from the heart and have a warm and friendly approach to leading you in your yoga.
Description
Acro yoga is where the worlds of acrobatics and yoga collide.

We explore the joy of flying, basing and spotting from a yogic viewpoint.

This gives us the opportunity to build connection and trust during this uplifting and playful practice.

With a focus on support and technique we are all able to explore all three crucial roles in the acro yoga dynamic. If you have ever been interested in acro yoga but thought you would be “to big/heavy” to fly or “not strong enough” to base please think again.

I support you with gentle encouragement and a wealth of experience to explore all sides of the acro team. Acro yoga is often seen as a partner activity, but my approach is much more community focused. This gives us the opportunity to build trust, courage and communication with the people we share this experience with.

Acro yoga is a really fun, uplifting and supportive activity, giving grown-ups the rare chance to play and enjoy platonic touch.

The nature of this practice means that some level of physical ability is required, although most people can join in and have fun regardless of age, ability and body type (my oldest acro yogi was in her 70s the first time she flew!).
It is also full contact practice, which requires consensual physical contact with other acro yogis. If you have any questions about these elements I welcome questions and conversations before you sign up. Sometimes these aspects can feel a little daunting, but I’m pretty sure you’ll love it if you want to give it a go!

The investment for this workshop is £25 per person.

**Booking is essential and the earlier you book the better**

While this can be a really fun workshops for friends and partners there is absolutely no requirement to join with others and solo acro yogis in the making are so welcome!

As ever a limited number of scholarship places will be available through my pay it forward fund. If finance is a barrier to you joining please get in touch and we can discuss options!
