These overlapping skills give Neilon a unique insight into human bodies and a passion for understanding what makes things work.<\/p>\n<h2><a title=\"What Is AcroYoga\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cO3Wv2ciOOE\" target=\"_blank\">What is AcroYoga?<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>AcroYoga is a beautiful practice that combines the dynamic wisdom of acrobatics, the awareness, breath and balance of yoga and the healing, loving nature of Thai massage.\u00a0Working with one or more partners these three disciplines are fused into captivating sequences of inversions, flows and balances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AcroYoga has 3 main elements:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Solar Acrobatic Practices that cultivate trust, empowerment, determination and joy.<\/li>\n<li>Lunar Healing Arts Practices that cultivate listening, loving and letting go.<\/li>\n<li>Yogic Practices that cultivate breathe awareness, life balance and connection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>AcroYoga is an exhilarating and open ended practice. It leads towards hard to achieve asana positions such as scorpion, headstands and handstands. It deepens backbends, lengthens hamstrings and opens hips, as well as an endless array of flying positions that no-one has thought of a name for yet.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefits of AcroYoga<\/h2>\n<p>Apart from happiness other qualities that you can expect to develop from the AcroYoga practice are confidence, sensitivity, trust, poise, Metta, determination, a sense of community as well as physical attributes like upper body strength, core ability, suppleness and grace. These qualities can be taken into your daily life and, in your own little way, you can contribute, in a very real way, to helping the world be a better place.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and by the way, happy people don\u2019t start wars.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the <a title=\"AcroYoga Brighton\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/132555483456758\/\" target=\"_blank\">AcroYoga Brighton<\/a> FaceBook group for latest details, jams and workshops.<\/p>\n<h2>AcroYoga Brighton\u00a0Regular Classes:<\/h2>\n<p>Thursdays 7pm-8:30pm &#8211; Ki Centre, 12 Queen Square, BN1 3FD<\/p>\n<p>Beginners welcome, no partner necessary, no need to book. \u00a310\/6<\/p>\n<h2>AcroYoga Brighton Intermediate Small\u00a0Group Sessions:<\/h2>\n<p>Wednesdays 7pm-8:30pm<\/p>\n<p>Intermediates only, <a title=\"Contact\" href=\"http:\/\/neilon.co.uk\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\">booking<\/a> essential.\u00a0\u00a315<\/p>\n<p>Regular class members are entitled\u00a0to a \u00a35 discount from <a title=\"Heart Hands - Thai Yoga Massage\" href=\"http:\/\/hearthands.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\">Heart Hands &#8211; Thai Yoga Massages<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Neilon&#8217;s <a title=\"AcroYoga by Neilon Pitamber\" href=\"http:\/\/acroyogabrighton.com\/organizer\/neilon\/\" target=\"_blank\">up to date schedule and upcoming workshops can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_539\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/neilon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/acro-conditioning-flyer.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-539\" class=\" wp-image-539 \" src=\"http:\/\/neilon.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/acro-conditioning-flyer-671x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Tailored 6 week conditioning programme to get you Acro Fit.
