Antoni Markovski
I spent 7 days with Acrospirit for their 50h training, and it was life-changing. The program was intense yet well-balanced, offering time to both push myself and rest. We covered everything from basic plank/bird to more advanced moves like ninja/bat star, all in a perfectly sequenced progression.
Their teaching and sense of community are rare and invaluable. I highly recommend this training for anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of Acroyoga, both physically and mentally. My biggest takeaway was improving communication and connection with partners, both in yoga and life. I’m grateful for this experience.

REVIEWS
Nicole Kuffer
“The training has exceeded all my expectations. Laura and Caspian taught us the foundations as a base, flyer and spotter which deepened my understanding of the poses and let me improve in an unbelievably fast way. The program was accompanied by all the other important things of AcroYoga practice like safety, communication, mindfulness, handstands and some Thai Yoga massage. I would definitely recommend this training to everyone who wants to get their foundations right and learn more than just the physical performance”

Lilly Panholzer
"I was impressed by the positive energy of Laura and Caspian, they are knowledgeable, supportive, professional and very patient teachers. The course included all aspects important in acroyoga: warm-ups, handstands, training, theory, games, massages, communication, spotting, a photo shoot and much more, and it was immensely fun! It was a very fulfilling experience that I would recommend anyone interested in Acroyoga and interested in learning safely with amazing teachers."
AcroSpirit Level 1 Graduate
Natalie Hore
"I would highly recommend taking this training course if you are new to acro or just wanting to improve foundational poses. Their skills, teaching style, passion and abilities to explain and manage the training sessions as well as provide a safe environment to practice and just be yourself are second to none! Best training course I've ever been on! So many learnings that it's best to say I'm a more rounded Yogi, person and now an acro practioner too!"
AcroSpirit Level 1 Graduate
Eric Polatty
"My only regret with the AcroSpirit Foundations Course is that I wasn't able to do it sooner. I believe taking this course will set you up for a successful journey with acro and progress so much faster. But even if you already have some experience coming in like I did. You will find it tremendously beneficial."

FAQ
Can I join this training if I’ve never done acro before?
Yes, this particular training is designed to be suitable for complete beginners to acroyoga.
Will I be able to teach acroyoga after this training course?
This training course is designed to teach you the foundations of acroyoga, and touches upon teaching topics and theory, however it is not a complete acroyoga teacher training. If you have no experience of teaching yoga or any other movement this course alone is unlikely to give you the experience and skills needed to effectively teach acroyoga. If you are already a yoga teacher or movement teacher then this course will provide you enough to begin teaching acroyoga with, but will not be as comprehensive as a full teacher training.
How does the Yoga Alliance certification work?
This course is accredited as continued education by yoga alliance, if you are a yoga alliance certified teacher, then this course will be added to your teaching hours after successful completion, and will count as a continued education requirement that you must complete every 3 years.
Can I join this training on my own or do I need a partner?
Yes, you can join this training on your own, the majority of students that join this course join alone. You will work with others on the training and meet new friends and training partners through the course. If you already have a partner then you will be able to work more dedicated with them whilst still interacting and practicing with others too.
Is the training safe, is there a high risk of injury?
Our training course is developed and designed with safety as the highest priority. We teach theoretical and practical safety skills throughout the course, and enforce proper safety and spotting practices, and we use puzzle mat flooring to minimise impact risks. Ultimately with any movement practice there are still risks that cannot be 100% avoided, but we consider our course overall very safe.
I’m already an experienced acroyogi, is it still worth me joining?
The level of skills and content that we teach is very foundational, focusing on L-base poses, transitions and breaking down the ideal techniques and understanding, the highest end of the content we reach are basic washing machines and some simple pops and standing poses. We have had several more intermediate or experienced students join our trainings who have found a benefit in refining their foundations and fixing bad habits, plus they have wanted to learn more acro theory like teaching, training practices, and community leading, so if that is your goal this course could also be suitable for you. If you are expecting to just learn more advanced new acro skills then instead please check out our Level 2 training program designed for intermediate/advanced acroyogis.
