ACROYOGATRAINING SESSION
• Think safety FIRST!
• Always be aware of the proximity of others when executing large motor movements.
• Please follow the Manual. AcroYoga is a methodology and should be practiced in a progression from simple to complex.
• Advanced work/unfamiliar movement should only be attempted with the assistance of spotters and only if your skill level (and
the skill level of your partner and spotter) supports the movement.
• Always use proper spotting techniques when executing off the mat work. In all examples of unfamiliar movement, spotters must
employ the "hands-on" technique.
• No jewelry.
• No nylon shorts or wind pants.
• No gum or candy.
• Hair should be managed toensure safety.
