AcroYoga Training Video: Trap Door & One Happy Thought

This AcroYoga training video deals with a common problem. It happens all the time– you’re stuck in reverse bird and have no idea where to go. Sure, you could step to star or back to Foot2Hand. That’s totally possible… but you’ve already done that exactly 1000 times.

Celebrate 1001 by taking the trap door. This elegant spinning transition takes the flyer from reverse bird to back bird with grace, ease, and– of course– controllable quickness.

You, too, can be an an astounding base and an impressive flyer. One of AcroYoga’s most colorfully creative and sought-after teachers worldwide, Daniel constantly refines the practice with skill, simplicity, and fun.

Hey Daniel! Thanks for your video… I am jamming this with another acroyoga teacher in Portland and we are having troubles with the backbird part. The foot on one hip makes the balance precarious. Is there any hints on how to find the one side balance? Or are you taking the foot across the sacrum?

  The foot should lovingly caress the flyer’s sacrum however best it can. For some, this means turning the foot in. For others, active toes. Most importantly, the base needs to make sure they hook the front of the flyer’s thigh with the free foot. This will steady the dropback, and give a lot more control to everyone involved.
  
  Make sense?
