Why I love AcroYoga (and why
your yacht charter guests may
also love it)
On yacht charters, we’re
always looking for new ways
to ‘wow’ guests. Whether it’s
the latest watersports toy,
the best table in the trendiest
restaurant or an extra special
turn-down treat, charters
are remembered for such
unique experiences.
AcroYoga will have your
guests literally flying high.
It’s a super-fun combination
of acrobatic, yoga, and Thai
healing arts, which is hugely
popular in the States and is
rapidly spreading worldwide.
I started the practice nearly
two years ago, and have since
become addicted. Here’s why:
You do it with other people.
I love hatha yoga, but it’s
largely a solitary pursuit
within the confines of your
own mat. AcroYoga is done
with a minimum of 3 people
(a base, a flyer and a spotter)
so it’s very sociable and great
for groups to enjoy together.
It allows us to find new
strengths, face our fears, and
improves our communication
skills and trust. It’s a perfect
activity to offer for fun-loving
and active guests keen to try
something new.It’s way more fun than the
gym. Often guests intend
to stay active during their
holiday but after all those
gourmet meals and cocktails
they somehow lost the ability
to find the on-board gym. In
AcroYoga we use each other’s
body weight to build strength
and flexibility. Balancing each
other on our feet and hands
is hugely entertaining and
often involves a great deal of
giggling. It’s a great workout
and 100% more exciting than a
stepmachine.It’s accessible to most people.
It may look like the work of
circus artists, but honestly
there are basic positions that
nearly everyone can enjoy.
I’ve based my aunty and uncle
(who are in their late 60s)
much to their delight. And
children absolutely love it.
Plus the photos are so cool
they’ll be the first ones your
charter guests will post to
their friends.It’s so engaging you won’t
be able to think about
anything else. When you’re
balancing upside down on
someone else’s feet it’s
impossible to be anywhere
else apart from the presentmoment. And that can be
hugely exhilarating and a
great stress-buster. And did
I mention already that it’s
awesome fun?!But really, is it appropriate
for a superyacht? YES! We
have taught it several times
on superyachts with great
results. We’ve had all ages of
guests from teenagers to older
people flying high. Obviously,
as it involves balance, it’s
better to do in a calm sea,
and some of the postures will
need ample height clearance
overhead. However it’s also
a great activity to do on the
beach to make your beach set-
ups even more memorable.Offer your guests something
new next season – and have
them flying high!Emmeline offers AcroYoga,
