"Before I started going to acroyoga classes I had someone ask me what is it? My response was just a bit of fun learning how to climb on people....something different.  Boy was I wrong, definitely not about the fun part but I had no idea that acro would offer so much more depth emotionally, spirituality and physically. Acro continues to teach me how to 'let go' of my fears, it brightens up my week to learn and grow a little more of myself each week in ways I never could have thought possible just "from climbing on someone" because its not just that!"
- Nicole Sadler, attended FUNdamentals & Intermediate courses

What is AcroYoga?

AcroYoga blends the wisdom of yoga, the dynamic power of acrobatics, and the loving kindness of healing arts. These three lineages form the foundation of a practice that cultivates trust, playfulness, and community.

Our AcroYoga classes are a perfect smorgasbord of AcroYoga & will provide options for all levels of experience. From absolute beginner to intermediate, you will be guided through the foundations of the practice, in a safe and supportive environment.

AcroYoga has 3 main elements:

• Solar Acrobatic Practices that cultivate trust, empowerment and joy. The solar elements are strength building, inversions with spotting, and partner acrobatics
• Lunar Healing Arts Practices that cultivate listening, loving and letting go. The Lunar Therapeutic Practice includes massage, therapeutic flying and partner yoga
• Yogic Practices that cultivate breathe awareness, life balance and connection. Yoga is the glue between the Solar and the Lunar Practices. It is a Physical Practice as well as a life philosophy that is honed through postures, breathing exercises, mantras, etc.

As you journey through the different elements of AcroYoga, you will be empowered, (and perhaps surprised) by your own strength. Through fun and playfulness, we explore a deeper trust in yourself and partnerships. AcroYoga is a great way to build teams in the workforce, sporting or family & friends.

Come along to any one of our classes, or secure your spot and book a course. No partner is necessary as in some cases for ease of learning, you will be matched with someone of similar height.

You can also organise your own AcroYoga workshop, for team building experience or bonding with a group of friends… contact Casey on 0432 618 279 for details.

No Partner necessary / all levels of experience catered for. 

Commonly Asked Questions

Q: What should I wear?

A: You should wear comfortable clothing which does not reveal too much anatomy when you go upside down or bend over. Also avoid wearing any jewellery that can get tangled, cut skin, or get caught in the base's feet or hands. Avoid wearing heavy perfumes.


Q: Do I need to come with a partner?

A; You can come with a partner if you feel more comfortable working with a familiar person. But in most classes people find a partner and change partners numerous times. It is good to change partners because it helps us develop tools to adjust to a new environment. When we return to familiar terrain with our regular partner there is a greater appreciation and respect for that partnership and also new insights gained from working with an unfamiliar body.


Q: I booked into a 4-week course and have come to the first 1 or 2 of the four sessions. What if I can't make it to the rest?

A: The $60 is a discounted rate for those who can commit to and complete the whole course, otherwise it's casual drop in rate of $20 per class. This makes it easier for us logistically, and to know and plan for class numbers to optimise safety and design a suitable class plan. It also ensures steady progression as students advance each week as they build on previously learnt skills.

If you cannot make all four of your pre-booked classes, we are happy to credit the reminder of your classes on a casual basis, e.g. if you've paid $60 for a 4-week course and attended one of the four classes, then can't attend the rest for any reason - the first class is counted as a casual $20 leaving you with $40 credit remaining to use on two more casual classes.

If you have attended two of the four classes, these first two classes are counted as two casual classes at $20 each ($40 total) leaving you with$20 credit remaining to use on one more casual class.


Q: I booked into a 4-week course but could not attend any of it. Can I get a refund?

A: We give class credit and course credit for any course you paid for but were not able to attend at all. If you purchased a 4-week course but could not attend it, you can contact Casey at casey@funkyforest.com.au and arrange to use your credit for a future 4 week course, with no extra charge. Alternatively, you can use the $60 as credit for three casual Acroyoga classes at $20 each and attend three AcroYoga classes at any time you like. Only in cases of medical emergency or family crisis we can refund your payment.
