This class is an intimate exploration of the senses and will beckon each student deep into the darkness that lies within all of us. This playful yet safe and grounding experience is initiated by placing a blindfold over our eyes and anchoring directly into our breath. All of our senses will heighten as we slow down and begin to navigate our minds and bodies through the darkness. Using breath work, yoga, and dance as a capsule for vulnerability and self exploration you can expect to be brought to a space far beyond comparison and critique.

The workshop will cover everything you need to get started with, or level up your current, acroyoga therapeutics practice. Key items to be covered are, communication best practices (verbal and non-verbal), consent conversations, three foundational acro-therapeutics poses (folded leaf, waterbed, high flying whale) as well as one dynamic entry to folded leaf. Once the group has a reasonable level of comfort in the three postures the focus of the class will move to incorporating dynamic elements into each of the skills offering deeper stretching and elevated intimacy. The education intention for each skill is listed below. 

Folded Leaf: Base uses upper body to facilitate twisting/stretching in the flyer's torso/upper body.  

High Flying Whale: Base uses feet to contribute motion to the system and understanding pressure concentration with feet. 

Waterbed: Brings together the upper and lower body movements for the base, also will work on integrating intentional rhythm into movements. 

After the class there will be some free time for open play until we need to vacate the space. 

TK has been practicing acro therapeutics for 7 years and teaching for 6. TK's approach to therapeutics focuses on using it as a means for engaging in self work. When leading participants through this practice they are forced to cultivate safe, supportive, compassionate, space in a literal and metaphorical sense. Physiologically for the base the work is lifting the flyer on feet and hands, and for the flyer submitting to the experience and believing the base will keep them safe. Psychologically both parties engage in intimately intentional, but not explicitly sexual touch, cultivating trust and safe supported volentary vulnerability. Last, verbally the dialog between flyer and base offers opportunities for radical expression of needs and boundaries real time. By helping people engage in these types of interactions practitioners are actively becoming more effective and empowered members of their own community.  

TK is based in Venice Beach, CA and in addition to acroyoga teaching, performance, and private lessons, is a bodyworker offering acro-therapeutics and shibari suspension sessions. He also is an avid roller skate dancer, also doing performance and teaching workshops/private lessons .
