Acroyoga

Acroyoga (also written Acro-Yoga or AcroYoga) is a physical practice which combines yoga and acrobatics.

There are two schools of Acroyoga. Acroyoga Montreal, led by Jessie Goldberg and Eugene Poku, has used the term since 1999. This school brings together acrobatics, yoga and dance. Acroyoga Inc., which began in California with Jason Nemer and Jenny Klein, was labelled as acroyoga in 2006. The latter practices brings together acrobatics, yoga and Thai massage. Both schools offer teaching certifications, and despite some differences have many similar poses while using gravity to promote strengthening and stretching.
