Introducing AcroYoga
Lazar meets Nemer at Muscle Beach and asks him to explain the practice. They begin a flying exercise.
At the original Muscle Beach in Santa Monica, Shira Lazar meets Jason Nemer, a co-founder of AcroYoga. He describes it as a partner practice combining acrobatics, yoga and healing arts, and says he has spent years traveling to train people who can share the practice in their own communities.
Lazar jokes about having had coffee before Nemer lifts her. He guides her to breathe, straighten her arms and look toward the ocean. Once in position, she finds the pose surprisingly stable, even as the pair joke about earthquakes.
Changing roles and building trust
Lazar tries being the base. Nemer discusses the different experiences of the flyer and base and introduces partner fitness.
They switch roles so Lazar can try being the base. Afterward Nemer explains that the flyer experiences risk and emotional vulnerability, while the base receives the flyer’s trust. He sees the exchange as something that can benefit both people.
Nemer introduces AcroFit, a branch of partner fitness, and begins with a squat in which the partners lean away from each other. Lazar remarks that the practice is a workout and enjoys the sunny winter weather.
Community and therapeutic flying
Nemer describes the Muscle Beach community and the value he places on physical connection. The session ends with therapeutic flying.
Asked about Muscle Beach, Nemer says acrobats and gymnasts have gathered there since the 1930s. He describes a community that also includes parkour and capoeira practitioners, with experienced people sharing the space in a relaxed atmosphere.
Nemer says that, in a world where people spend much time connected to devices, he values healthy ways to connect physically with others. He describes the practice as an opportunity to build strength, flexibility and coordination while connecting with new people.
The session finishes with therapeutic flying, which Lazar compares to a massage. She thanks Nemer for the experience and points viewers to AcroYoga’s website for more information.
