Breathing, eye contact, verbal communication, and safe touch tend to be forgotten, under-practiced skills in today's busy world. Acroyoga combines acrobatic practice with the yoking processes from traditional yoga that bring together the body, mind, and breath. Some people enjoy the elements of play, while for others, "acro" can be an extremely therapeutic experience.
NY-based Certified Acroyoga Teacher and 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher Dona "Dovie" Squires joins host Mike Trovato for the fifteenth episode of the Health on a WIMH podcast. Mike and Dona talk about the evolution of traditional yoga and acrobatics practices into Acroyoga communities. A 10-year practitioner, Dona opens up about how her discovery of Acroyoga helped her develop trust and find healing from childhood trauma.
