AcroYoga blends the spiritual wisdom of yoga, the loving kindness of Thai massage, and the dynamic power of Acrobatics. These three ancient lineages form this practice that cultivates trust, connection and playfulness. There are 7 main elements that make up the practice: circle ceremony, asana, partner flow, Thai massage, therapeutic flying, inversions & spotting, and partner acrobatics. Our highest aim is to bring individuals into a state of union with themselves, with each other, and with the divine. From this place of mutual support the true self can be realized, celebrated and shared for the benefit of all. Mary also specializes in teaching Restorative Yoga, a deeply restful, healing practice, and ISHTA, an eclectic Yoga style created by Alan Finger drawing upon Hatha, Tantra, and Ayurveda, that emphasizes the individual's needs, from pranayama to vinyasa to meditation
