I’ll be assisting the Solar Immersion, join us!
Join Jason & Bryan, as well an amazing assisting team of international teachers for 4 full days full of Acrobatic Solar training, connection & playful transitions!
This Immersion gives you the chance to dive deep and fully absorb not only the advanced AcroYoga & Acrobatic training techniques, but also the community feeling and support!
The Solar Immersion empowers students to realize their infinite potential through the powerful embodiment of acrobatic partnership.
Linear progressions and an emphasis on the art of spotting make learning advanced acrobatics safe, accessible, and fun. Confidence and coordination are developed in strength training and inversions, which pave the way for ease and grace in partner acrobatics. After refining foundations, we will train more precise acrobatic work, such as foot-to-hand, hand-to-hand and standing acrobatics.
Get ready to push past your own personal limits in a fun and safe environment.

-Another way to have fun together (with your clothes on)
-To set aside what they think is the “right way” to talk to one another in order learn something new together

Curious about different ways to connect with your partner or friend? Looking for new ways to stretch & get upside down? Join Paula for an afternoon of AcroYoga where we'll develop a strong foundation of the practice with some partner yoga, supported inversions, and more!
AcroYoga blends the wisdom of yoga, the dynamic power of acrobatics, and the loving kindness of healing arts. These three lineages form the foundation of a practice that cultivates trust, playfulness, and community.
Be prepared to empower yourself by going upside down in a fun, safe and supportive environment.
No partner necessary.
The human hand consists of 27 bones with 4 hands involved that's 108, likely be enough to have someone in a handstand in someone else’s hands.
Paula and Phil have played with hand to hand for a hot minute nearly every time that they have seen each other for the last six years. Sometimes there is a profound difference, sometimes not but always the repetition has taught them that balance requires connection. We will start by connecting those 108 bones in the hands then deepen to see how we become more aware of how we can hold ourselves, support each other, and find ease.
