FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What is therapeutic flying?

Therapeutic flying is a movement practice created through a meeting of acro-yoga and thai massage. As the name suggests you are flying! You are upside down and experiencing weightlessness as the giver supports your body in unique ways using gravity to create a deep relaxed feeling like no other.

Do you need to have any previous experience?

Any experience at any skill level is fine, as this is an open workshop. 

Do you need a partner/ can I bring a partner?

You do not need a partner, we will partner you up & it’s a great chance to connect with new people to come on your own.

Do you need to be flexible/ strong?

No, this workshop is structured to be accessible to all - we value community and inclusion. However please note it is a physical practice. Be ready to challenge yourself physically and please remember you are responsible for listening to your body and respecting your limits or any injuries.

What do I need to bring?

A water bottle, towel if you get sweaty when exercising, clothes that you can move easily in and go upside down (think yoga, stretchy pants, fitted top or shirt) & your smile!
