No dance, yoga or acrobatics background needed. If you can do a gentle squat and lie on the floor, you can start.
The poses are sequences so that you'll cope, succeed, and secretly yearn for more.
Every session follows the same rhythm
-
01 INTENTION SETTING
A quiet minute to choose how you each want to feel, and be felt, today.
-
02 MOBILISATION
Warm up and practice in a safe, progressive manner, giving your body time to understand what it needs to do, giving you time to feel your body in space.
-
03 PROGRESSIONS & PEAK POSES
Drills and progressions help get you closer to the peak move, which will feel way easier if done after progressions.
Peak poses often come with options (to level up, or level down) to ensure the right about of comfort and challenge for you and your partner.
-
04 COOL DOWN
Learn and try on partner stresses and/or partner massages, tuning in to your own body and your partner's. Breathing in sync, slowing down together - simple presence and listening that will go a long way in your relationship.
-
04 REFLECTIONS
Reflect on what you have conquered, what you are thankful for - collate a jar full of words that will fuel you both moving forward.

What past clients say
Didn't expect acroyoga to feel so intimate during our session… We felt that it was easier than it looked as well, and I think our bodies adapted quite quickly with Si Qi's assistance and detailed explanation.
Meridith
We felt safe trying new movements and appreciated how the instructors paid attention to proper technique while keeping the atmosphere fun and encouraging… We left feeling accomplished, connected, and excited to come back for more.
Muyun Dong
Came in not too sure what to expect but they were so patient, thorough and welcoming for us to try different acro yoga poses!
Suzhen Z.
They created a safe space, set our mind in the right frame to enjoy and engage the movement with intention… My husband's favourite part was me learning to massage him afterwards haha.

FAQs
-
None at all. The course is progressive: It starts with the friendliest pose and builds from there.
-
- Floor space
- A cleared fall zone (a yoga mat or pillows help)
- A sturdy chair for some progressions in lessons 3 & 4
- Your favourite human.
-
Each lesson takes about 15–20 minutes too complete. Some duos conquer a pose on their first try, while others repeat a lesson for a day or two to feel more confident.
Our rule of thumb is to repeat until you both feel a sense of progress, because some things can't be rushed.
-
Regardless of gender and roles, start with the lighter partner as flyer, and heavier/bigger parter as base. All these poses are suitable for partners with no size difference as well.
If you'd like to base someone bigger or heavier, simply go slower, check-in often, and make sure you have a clear fall space.
If you'd like extra reassurance, the live studio session is a great place to start.
-
Not at all. Parent–child pairs, siblings and best friends are all welcome.
Remember - it is easier to fly. So if you are a parent-child pair, the default is that the parent bases the child so as to ensure your safety.

Firstly, strictly follow the sequence of this course to ensure that your body and mind is prepared. Some moves may look deceivingly stable so avoid skipping the progressions.
If you do get injured e.g. sprain your wrist or accidentally strain a muscle, take a pause and practice the RICE method where appropriate.
