What you wear is important.
Ideally it should compliment your personality
Leaving an impression on others of your taste and style.
As athletes, sometimes we struggle with finding the right clothes that feel comfortable moving in as well as align with who we are as individuals.
Well luckily for us @uranta_mindful_clothing produces beautiful pieces that are so comfortable you might want to wear them to sleep. Which means you'll be ready for acro as soon as you wake up!

Points of contact.
How often do we think about where and how we can support each other when practicing acro?
⬇️⬇️⬇️
Most of the time as we're learning new skills we tend to only focus on technique. Some of us maybe obsessing over every little detail even to a fault.
We believe that connecting with your partner is a huge part of having success when practicing. Knowing when and how to adapt something and make it your own. We can help ourselves do this by observing our points of contact.
Just a couple things to think about.
1) Can I give more or less tension?
2) As a base, where can I offer more or less support?
3) As a flyer, how can I shift my weight to make things more accessible to my base
Exploring these concepts can add a lot of insight to the ways in which we can improve our practice.
So be safe, have fun and remember sometimes it's nice to give your mind and break and focus on flowing with your partner. 🙃

"Shoot for the stars so if you fall you land on a cloud."
The only way to know if you can do something is to try.
Why settle for the same old routine?
Why ignore that inner desire to shake things up by getting outside if your comfort zone
Is it really THAT comfortable anyway?
______________________
Come run away with us to a far away land where we'll teach you tricks and introduce you to really cool people.
It's almost like running away and joining the circus except we don't have animals cause that's not cool.
At the Partner Acrobatics circus, you're the animal 😘

We are having a blast in our "PA Advanced Intensive" at @chalananda Mexico 🔥🔥 ▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎ At the heart of our training programs is the concept of sustainability of the physical body – the use of proper alignment and the principles of sports science to increase performance and decrease the risk of pain and/or injury.

"Each time I see the Upside-Down Man
Standing in the water,
I look at him and start to laugh,
Although I shouldn’t oughtter.
For maybe in another world
Another time
Another town,
Maybe HE is right side up
And I am upside down."
Cause who doesn't love Shel Silverstein 🙃

"If you want to fly in the sky, you need to leave the Earth. If you want to move forward, you need to let go of the past that drags you down." ________________
There are moments where all the technique in the world is meaningless if you can't overcome the fear you have in order to use it. We think there's a lot to say about the mental block. A mindset that keeps us from being able to feel a trick let alone actually do it successfully.
Being afraid is ok.
Hell it's completely normal, especially under the circumstances that you're being thrown high off the ground trusting that you'll be caught or at the very least kept safe.
This might resonate the most with all of you control freaks out there in that letting go and trusting the process can be really hard.
We have to remember that this is a skill that we need to practice.
The practice of letting go can become one of our greatest strengths as athletes.
Learning how to trust your partner, your spotters but most importantly yourself can completely change the way we practice.
So let go of a mindset that says "I can't" and start believing that you can.
Cause we sure as hell believe in you. 😘

"I love everything about the Partner Acrobatics family—from the support of the teaching team to the connections I've made. My TT experience was filled with, knowledge bombs, laughs, and LOTS of training. All the coaches model exactly what a PA teacher stands for— safety, teamwork, and fun!

Sexy
Mysterious
Provocative
Just a few of the many words that describes this man.
We all know Martin is a badass handbalancer, acrobat and coach but did you know he once had a dream of being a runway model for lu lu lemon?
I know right, who would of thought.

Happy birthday to you @flyinghighacrobatics !
We love you even though you're not a runway model 💞

Ever dream of being a rockstar but have absolutely no sense of rhythm?
Yea us too
That's why we got into acro

______________
Here at Partner Acrobatics you can use acro to live out those dreams that you never achieved with other people that have also settled for just being able to do cool tricks at their cousins wedding.
Also sometimes it's just fun to dress up and take some cool acro photo's 😎

"We're on the brink of an adventure children,
Don't ruin it with questions."
-Marry Poppins
__________________________
Usually we encourage questions and if you've ever learned from us, you'll know we ask a lot as well.
That being said, sometimes it's better to just go for it and ask questions later.
Let the feeling of discovery guide you.
Trust your gut even when you can't explain it.
Especially if your gut is telling you to check out one of our upcoming events 😉

We love our family.
We like to think we're pretty real
What you see is what you get
What we say is what we mean
What we do is what we love
And we love community
Connection
Laughing and sharing
Eating
Dancing
Being inspired and co-creating with one another.
We attract what we are
And what we are is a family 💕

Dye your hair, cut your hair and wear a wig!

"Tight is light"
We love this quote not just because it's true but because it rhymes!
And when things that are true rhyme, people tend to remember them.
⬇️⬇️
Let's think about how this concept helps both the base and the flyer.
1) When flyers engage more in poses that require bases to provide some balance, it becomes easier for the base to better support the flyer.
2) In a move such as croc, it becomes easier for the flyer to support themselves when they engage their core and legs and then use that engagement to help lift themselves up off the point of contact.
3) Chances are that both the base and the flyer can always engage more to help make a move feel easier.
So next time you're practicing a skill, try thinking about this idea of "tight is light" and see if engaging more of your body helps or not.
If it doesn't help then just tell people you read it on the internet.

Fun isn't always easy.
Sometimes it takes courage.
To embrace your inner child or to play in your adult body.
Having fun is a practice.
And we need to work at it so we don't lose sight of what's important.
Which is being happy, healthy and surrounding yourself with others that will lift you up.
In our case we take that last part quite literally 😘
