ACRONIA 2026

Rachel

Hello :-)

I am a yoga trainer with international teaching experience who discovered acroyoga in 2023 and was instantly obsessed with its playfulness, connection and supportive community.
I have assisted and co-taught at acro festival and events, where I enjoy sharing my love for dynamic work and icarians :-)

Cascade Variations 1
Ivan, Rachel

Join us to learn some fun (and possibly easier...) variations of the "Cascade" Icarian Pop (American Chair to Reverse Star).

We will have different starting postions:

  • Cascade from Straddle Throne
  • Cascade from Foot-to-Hamstring

These cascades can help you building up the confidence to approach more complex "plunges" 😉

Flyers: Please, do not wear earrings, necklaces, or big facial piercing! (This is a general advice for acro or icarians,.. but it's particulary important for Cascades! )

2 acrobatics: intermediate

🤸‍♀️👯‍♀️🤸‍♀️ Group Acro 🤸🏽‍♂️👯‍♀️🤸🏽‍♂️
Ivan, Rachel

This is a relaxed, playful workshop in which we will explore different acro poses with at least 3 participants: a "base", a "mid", and a "flyer".
There will also be figures with more bases or more than one mid or flyer, suitable for groups of 4, 5, or 6 persons, depending on the level and the number of participants.

We will have easier options for people with little experience and more complex variations for those with more experience ;-)

1 acrobatics: beginner / open level

Maria Icarians 1 (Shin-to-Foot)
Ivan, Rachel

During this workshop the flyer will either start or land into "Maria" (Shin-to-Foot).
We will identify the peculiarities of this position and understand how to change a connection that usually feels "shaky" into a solid starting/landing position for icarians 🦵🦵

Cascade Variations 2
Ivan, Rachel

Join us to learn some slightly more challenging variations of the "Cascade" Icarian Pop.

We will have different starting postions:

  • Foot-to-Shin (the flyer stands on the shins of the base)
  • Shin-to-Foot (aka "Maria": the base holds the shins of the flyer with their feet)

And we will land in Reverse Star, obviously with suitable progressions and steps! ;-)

Flyers: Please, do not wear earrings, necklaces, or big facial piercing! (This is a general advice for acro or icarians,.. but it's particulary important for Cascades! )

Check the prereqs, please!
Additional tip: It´s recommended to have already tried some other Cascade (or mini Cascade) variations
