Format: PreFest | 3 hours
Level: Intermediate (some experience with AcroYoga, handstands, or partner acrobatics recommended. Part 1 in the same morning recommended but not required.
Building on the foundations of Part 1, this evening session introduces more dynamic entries, standing acrobatics progressions, and group acrobatics. The focus shifts from calibration to motion — exploring how to transition from stable positions into more playful and dynamic acrobatic material.
You will explore dynamic entries into hand to hand and reverse hand to hand, standing acrobatics progressions, and safe progressions towards Pocheska. Communication, timing, and trust-building remain at the heart of the work throughout.
This part is ideal for practitioners who want to deepen their technical understanding, expand their acrobatic vocabulary, and explore the bridge between AcroYoga, handstands, and partner acrobatics.
In this practice you will explore:
• Dynamic entries into hand to hand and reverse hand to hand
• Standing acrobatics progressions and group acrobatics
• Safe progressions towards Pocheska
• Communication, timing, and spotting for more advanced partner work
For who:
• Intermediate practitioners looking to expand their acrobatic vocabulary
• Those who attended Part 1 and want to put the foundations into motion
• Movers curious about the bridge between AcroYoga, handstands, and partner acrobatics
This session takes place at the AcroYoga Moves studio of Yvonne & Lennert, right next to Scheltema. You're warmly invited to join a community potluck starting at 17:30 before the evening workshop begins. Bring something to share and stay for the full day experience!
Attending John's workshop was such a refreshing and enjoyable experience. His ability to make complex movements feel approachable and fun really stood out. The space he creates allows you to explore AcroYoga at your own pace while feeling supported and connected with others. I left the workshop feeling uplifted, energized, and excited to continue my practice!
