ALL the Washing Machines

1 Comment

Join Brian Cruikshank and Maren Hill for a spin filled AcroYoga workshop where we’ll share some of our favorite washing machines. What’s a Washing Machine? It’s a dynamic sequence of AcroYoga poses that ends where it began, creating a repeatable cycle. In the workshop we’ll explore timing, body placement, weight transfer, and dynamic transitions to find ease and fluidity in each cycle. Take one step towards ALL THE WASHING MACHINES!

No partner necessary!

Pre-reqs: side-star, back bird, bird

Investment: $30 – income based sliding scale available (please paypal or venmo maren.hill@gmail.com to reserve your spot or contact to find out about sliding scale)

Since it’s Halloween weekend, costumes are encouraged, but not required. Just make sure costumes allow for the ancient acro art of schmearing (to slide one’s foot across a flyers hip, back or thigh to achieve a more desirable placement).

Size Doesn’t Matter: A Basing Course

Flying is great — but that’s only half the fun! Maybe you’ve had more opportunities for flying than basing; or maybe you’re brand new to acro and need to learn the fundamentals of how to put people safely and happily up on your feet. Whatever the case, if you wanna learn to base like a boss, so that you can do #ALLTHEACRO!, this class is for you. Check out the Facebook event page.

The three-class sequence will focus first on basing simple poses with good technique and proper body mechanics; then we’ll move on to techniques for smoothly basing various transitions between these poses. By the final class we’ll be working on putting it all together to develop simple flows, and focusing on some tools, tricks, and tips for basing flyers bigger than yourself. It’s open to all levels, with some exposure to acro yoga helpful but not mandatory.

Class sessions will meet from 6:30 – 8:00pm on Monday 10/17, Monday 10/24 (Wheatfield Yoga, 609 Hawkesbury Terrrace, Silver Spring, Maryland), and Wednesday 11/2 in Silver Spring. On 10/24 we’ll be at Wheatfield Yoga.

Since the classes build on each other, please plan to come to all three if at all possible! Contact organizers if something comes up and you have to miss one, and we’ll try to find a way to get you caught up before the next session.

Investment: $45 for all three classes or $20 per class (paypal maren.hill@gmail.com to confirm your spot)

Learn the basics of basing – the BASEics, one might say — and automatically double your acro joy. 🙂

Foot to Hand Workshop

Leave a comment

Learn how to foot to hand like a cowboy. Join Ari and Maren for a workshop that focuses on the fundamentals of foot to hand: grip, alignment, entrances and dismounts. Participants will develop their foot to hand technique, and will have the ability to experiment with various skills, foot-to-hand transitions to other poses

Developing strong foot to hand technique allows movement through many flows, washing machines, and pops with grace and fluidity. Focusing on proper technique will help build strength and stability and lay the foundation for hand to hand and other advanced static poses. We will provide progressions for different levels

When: 2:00-4:00PM on Sunday October 9 (come to class and stay for the jam)

Where: Malcolm X Park (Dance Loft is the rain location)
