Licensed to Fly!!
30 dedicated pilots from around the globe, including Australia, Mexico, China, Hong Kong, some traveling nomads, and myself, completed our rigorous and transformative AcroYoga® teacher training up high in the mountains above Santa Barbara this past month, in Mother Nature's loving arms.
Literally "high union" in Greek and Sanskrit, AcroYoga®: "blends the spiritual wisdom of yoga, the loving kindness of Thai massage, and the dynamic power of Acrobatics." I am in love with its playfulness, empowerment, freedom, healing, and sheer joy, and delighted to now be licensed to transmit it.
My First Flight: Thursday 7PM AcroYoga® Therapeutics with co-pilot Will Nagel at Om Factory starts next week Sept. 4! Come taste the loving touch of communal yoga and Thai massage. You will learn to safely base, fly, and spot, and view your yoga practice from an entirely new angle! No partner necessary. All levels welcome! Om Factory at Links below.
What IS AcroYoga®?

Ishta Center Acro Workshop
I'm planning an AcroYoga® Fundamentals workshop in November at Ishta Center, studio home of my teacher Ishta Yogiraj Alan Finger! So Ishta students and teachers, let Julie and Sarah know if you're excited over the idea! Watch for it on the Ishta site for date, time, and registration. And - Pass the word!
AcroYoga® Fundamentals workshops are a great way to introduce friends, family - and yourself - to a new, exciting, sometimes initially intimidating practice, in a completely safe, harmonious, joyous and healing group setting.
My workshops and classes will be listed on www.acroyoga.org by next week. You can already reach me at my additional email address now: mary@acroyoga.org

Love & Light in Paradise
Valentine Week 2009: February 14-21 in St. Lucia, Caribbean! Plan your winter escape now, and begin enjoying that delicious box of chocolates to yourself months in advance!! My team of fellow teachers Dilshad Keshwani, Anna Dioguardi, Becca Krauss, and I will offer four classes daily including Meditation/Pranayama, Vinyasa, Restorative and AcroYoga®. Free time each day to explore the many beauties of St. Lucia, sleep in the hammock, book a massage, or play on the beaches!
Registration at Tropical Escapes will be up next week with downloadable flyers to pass on to friends. No travel buddy is required, but the more the merrier ~ and our 4 teachers can accommodate all levels from beginner/senior to Jedi warriors. Come be love warriors for peace & light, on the sand, in the rainforest, in the ocean, by the pool! English speaking, unspoiled quaint St. Lucia has two airports, and several major airlines have direct and 1-stops as well as other flights.
