The kind of commitment and intelligence in strength training and moving practice the demonstrates what happens when people do what they love. The acro and the handstand classes are soo fun.
I have been experiencing great results from my personal training group classes with John. The Acroyoga classes and Jams are so much fun! They are full of people moving, playing and growing. Acro is an amazing international community, the fact this gym goes out of their way to support it makes me passionate about supporting them. They are the changes I want to see in the world. Acroyoga has rekindled my trust and faith in humanity. Come Jam with us!
Amazing new space! Home to a welcoming and nurturing Acrobatic Yoga Community. John and Natasha make acroyoga accessible to all levels and body types. The jams after class are a blast too!
