01:57Accomplished Acro 4: Back Bird
The next in our Accomplished Acro Yoga tutorial series, join London Acro Ladies for a deep supportive backbend. This pose is similar to Front Bird but in back bird the flyer faces the ceiling rather than the floor. This is a really nice antigravity backbend for the flyer and is a great opportunity for the base to build strength and refine alignment. For this pose, as with front bird, the spotter stands at the side of the flyer in goddess pose. One hand is positioned below the upper back and one below the thighs. It goes without saying that you must not attempt this until you have watched the introductory video outlining safety and spotting techniques and never try Acro Yoga in a confined area.

03:20Accomplished Acro 3: High Flying Whale To Throne
This transition sees the flyer move from a backbend into a seated position on the bases feet. The flyer stands with their feet either side of the bases head facing away from them. The base takes the flyer's ankles and places their feet on the upper back. The flyer is lifted into the backbend and can relax the upper body but keeps the legs strong and toes pointed. From there the base takes the sole of the Flyers feet and transitions their feet one at a time underneath the flyers bum as the flyer sits up. The flyer can then hook their feet in front of the bases shins for stability. Spotters will start to the side in a goddess stance with one arm above and one below the flyers torso moving to a warrior one stance to the back as the flyer sits up. It goes without saying that you must not attempt this until you have watched the introductory video outlining safety and spotting techniques and never try Acro Yoga in a confined area.

02:16Accomplished Acro 2: Shoulder Stand on Bridge
This is another inversion where the base is supine providing a platform for the flyer with the legs. The hips are lifted towards the sky, feet are hip width apart and the flyer places their shoulders on the bases thighs allowing their head to be in the gap between. From there the flyer can kick, press or be scissor lifted up into the inversion. Spotter will be in the spine side of the flyer with hands near the hips. It goes without saying that you must not attempt this until you have watched the introductory video outlining safety and spotting techniques and never try Acro Yoga in a confined area.

52:58Big & Fearless Heart
Most of us have experienced fear of some kind and know that when we're in it's grip the ripples permeate all areas of our lives. Allowing fear to continue to have power over us keeps us firmly locked in cycles of fear, anxiety, low self esteem and so on. A big part of beginning to break down some of these patterns is actually providing space and time to experience our own vulnerability - sitting with the feelings and sensations which arise when we do so. This is a beautifully deep and transformative flow and part of Naomi's personal home practice. Expect plenty of backbending and as usual a lot of breath! You will need 2 blocks.

06:59Acro Yoga 3: Straddle Throne
The third in our Acro Yoga Series (yoga for two people), Straddle Throne is a really fun and visual posture which when mastered opens up a lot of possibilities for other postures and being able to create flows. Please please please take your time with this one - be slow and gradual and above all stay safe. This is an advanced pose and a spotter (third person) is highly recommended in the early stages. It is also important to ensure that you are secure in Front Bird before progressing to Straddle Throne.
