Today I'm taking it back to the first time that my sister @karensuestudios introduced me to the world of acro yoga almost two years ago. We have lived in different cities for more quite a while now, so every year Karen and I pick a place or two that we want to travel to together to meet up. San Diego was our spot of choice this particular year. San Diego is a lovely city in Southern California with beautiful beaches and stunning cliffside scenery. I was definitely excited to be going there, but I had no idea that Karen would bring with her a new hobby!
She was like, ..”So I do acro yoga now, let’s try!” LOL, at the time I had no idea what she was talking about because I had never even heard of this type of yoga. After she described it to me and explained the terms, I seriously thought there was no way she could base me and no way I would be flying. It did sound like it would be fun though.
We went down to the beach, and she ran through some basic moves with me. I was surprised that I was able to fly some of the shapes, and it was pretty fun.
Here’s some of the moves we attempted that weekend:
Throne
Back fly
Looking back, I'm really happy that Karen convinced me to try some acro yoga. It opened my eyes to a whole new world of playing with people/friends for exercise and the social aspect is great as well. That same weekend she convinced me to go with her to Costa Rica for an acro yoga retreat that was coming up a few months later. More on that to come though!
Thanks for reading! Have you guys tried some acro yoga? Happy Friday Steemit!

Would love to try acro yoga for sure! But i have to get back in shape after the endless eating holiday season. @n@

I am inspired from today by yoga :D
haha thanks!! :D
The pictures are amazing :):):)
Amazing athletisim
Thank you! :D
keep it up! or should I say keep her up!
HAHAH yeah sis was a decent base actually! The other way around, she kept crashing to the ground :P
same thing happens to me and my gf @rooddzy but truth is im too heavy for her hehe. we do some acroyoga but only try what we see online. There are no courses in malta at the moment so we have to stick to what we can try :)
hey thats an awesome shot!! I feel like it's actually quite a balancing act to do do the bow pose on a partner :) nice job!
Amazing athlete
Thank you!! :)
Polebird, I can't believe you actually performed this. Lol
haha thanks! :D I didn't believe it would work either until we did it, not too bad!
Keep it up dear. I hope to see more of it
By the way, you have never for once commented on my post or upvote it
What's wrong dear? winks
Oh! Heyyy sorry I will definitely check it out :)
wow you two really make extraordinary moves!
Thank you stacee! :D
Really nice! Beautiful sisters!
Thank you!
Nice try
Thanks! :)
Hey there,
Great story :) You know, I have had the same feelings before starting acro yoga... There is just no way somebody can lift me that way and there is just no way I will stay there :D That moment when everything goes well and you are actually flying is pretty cool. :)
HAHA it is so fun to be a flyer- I definitely remember shouting WEEEEE! a couple times haha
Tried this once.. didn't go well! Hahah looks impressive!
Hehehe I do hope you get to try again - maybe with a little bit of practice you will be pretty decent! Thanks! :)
Nice acro yoginis 🌟🎯🙏
Thank you!
Wow super cool! I love that the two of you are able to meet in different places! That's really awesome. Acro Yoga looks super difficult but I agree that the social and bonding aspect would be amazing. OK I need to just go get back into regular ol' yoga first. Baby steps! :D Thanks for the inspiration!
awww yay! Love to hear I might have inspired you to try. I enjoy regular yoga too especially trying to challenge myself with arm balances, but it is definitely a different feel playing around with acro yoga - usually a lot of laughs going on :P
Hey, this is very nice.. :) First encounter with acroyoga on steemit for me. I'm from Croatia, and we have a really small acro community here. Keep up the work, and looking forward to the Costa Rica story. :)
Thank you! So nice to find another acroyogi! How long have you been acroing?
deux sœur fantastique
Thanks!! :)
Wow. Thats really neat. I would love to try regular yoga one day and then try this kind! Amazing photos and you did great because i would have fallen right over.
ah! thank you for stopping by, I do hope you do both - they are so different, but I found both to be pretty fun :)
