Acro With Kwame

Acro Yoga, Partner Acrobatics and Movement Coaching in Surbiton and South West London

Hi, I'm Kwame. I offer Acro Yoga & Movement workshops and community in the area.

I've been organising the South London Acro Yoga community since 2016, and now run regular classes and offer private coaching in and around Surbiton. I'm a certified Yoga Teacher with over 15 years of practice behind me and a focus on sharing fun, safe and accessible movement practices with all. My primary goal is to empower practicioners - whether casual or serious - to have a safe and enjoyable personal practice that they can take in whatever direction they please - be it towards performance or just joining our free and open "jam" sessions in future.

I also run meetups for the local yoga, pilates, fitness and wellness community through Open Space - a weekly networking and open practice session

What is acro yoga?

Acro yoga is a dynamic, partner-based and social movement practice involving two or more people that mixes elements from yoga, gymnastics, partner acrobatics and even Thai Yoga Massage therapeutics. There are multiple styles and disciplines from standing acrobatics to floor based "L-basing" sequences with one (or more) participants lying doing and lifting the other(s). My speciality is teaching beginners and improves in dynamic L-basing flows and skills, though I do teach some standing, dance lifts and counterbalancing. I also occasionally teach handstands/handbalance and inversion workshops with an explorative/experiential approach - as opposed to focusing on drills and strict and formal technique.
