Daily Dharma: Learn a new way to fly with Acrobatic Yoga as Kaya welcomes instructor Lex Peters in March!
What is Acrobatic Yoga?
"Acrobatic yoga focuses on the acrobatics. Myself and three other coaches - my coachesare the women that I collaborate with, they are my 'flyers' - we have a very differentapproach to the sport. One is the terms that we use. Since we're all ex-gymnasts anddancers and capoeristas, it was important for us to maintain very clear language. Wecouldn't use any terminology that would seem to obfuscate what we were doing and thetruth is, to try to name each and every move was the most monumental thing ever.And it would just become the most abstract, most unclear thing you could everexperience because the names would just not make sense anymore. So we just choseto stick to terms that were readily available and utilize English language. So, thelanguage is different, first off.
Second, the alignment that we use is very much gymnastics, dance and acrobaticsalignment. We frown upon the flexed feet, bent legs, unless it's a very specific move,other than that we never point of bent knees. Those things we just never do. It doesn'teven make sense to us. So we use very, very, very, very rigid gymnastics, ballet andacrobats alignment. If you look at us you can see that right away." - Lex Peters
