Bioneers stretch bodies with Circus Yoga
The Salt Lake City Bioneers Conference scheduled at Westminster College on October 28 and October 29, 2011 will feature a session on Circus Yoga.
A form of yoga that encourages community engagement and group practice, Circus Yoga is great for people of all ages.
“Circus Yoga is the containment for all things fun,” says Kyla Mullen, Circus Yoga instructor.
A yoga form with partners, Circus Yoga combines the skills of a yoga teacher with the playfulness of a professional clown.
“A lot of people need more play in their lives; Circus Yoga is a great way to do that,” says Kyla.
The partner forms offered in Circus Yoga include the Airplane and other “flying” forms. Circus Yoga may also include human pyramids, juggling and the use of devil sticks and balance beams. Kyla will be focusing on giving people the tools to do these and other forms safely.
Much of what will be covered at the Bioneers Conference will depend on the audience and their ability level.
Kyla says that talking “about environmental issues can be pretty heavy;” this will help people feel good and energize them.
The Circus Yoga should end with a Thai massage that partners will collaborate on.
