5-day AcroYoga and Radient Flow Retreat - March 8th-12th, 2008
Each morning, Janet will guide you in a dynamic, rigorous, joyful,
sweaty and deeply nurturing asana flow. She focuses on opening
the heart, creating a radiant flow of energy within the body, quieting the mind and moving towards abhaya (freedom from fear).
Through the beat of your own heart, discover how vigorous asana can release tension and old
patterns while awakening your divine nature. Embrace life through a fluid, rhythmic, transformative retreat.
Each afternoon, Jason, founder of AcroYoga will blend the
spiritual wisdom of yoga, the loving kindness of Thai massage,
and the dynamic power of acrobatics. These three ancient lineages form the
foundation of a unique new practice that cultivates trust,
connection and playfulness. Our highest aim is to bring individuals into a state of union with themselves, with each
other, and with the divine. From this place of mutual support the true self can be realized, honored and shared
for the benefit of all. |

| Who is Jason Nemer ? |
I have been blessed with countless teachers on my path. My teenage years were deeply influenced by the training techniques of Chinese, Russian and Bulgarian Acrobatic Masters. When I was 16, I traveled to China to represent the US at the Jr. World Sports Acrobatics Championships. Competing among the best acrobats in the world opened my eyes to many advanced expressions of body control and balance. In 1996, I was invited to perform in the Opening Ceremonies at the Olympic games. Yoga came to me in my last semester of university. After that first class there has been no looking back. Breath awareness and the ethical rules of yoga filled me with so much joy and hunger for this new way to experience the world. I have studied with many gifted yogis that have lead me to my teacher, Sri Dharma Mittra. His teachings have helped me to understand that your true teacher is sitting on the right side or your heart as the eternal witness. My past of developing acrobatic progressions combined with the rich lineage of yoga has been my driving force to construct the foundation of AcroYoga.
About AcroYoga
AcroYoga
blends the spiritual wisdom of yoga, the loving kindness of Thai massage, and the dynamic power of Acrobatics. These three ancient lineages form the foundation of a unique new practice that cultivates trust, connection and playfulness. Acro Yoga aims to bring individuals into a state of union with themselves, with each other, and with the divine. From this place of mutual support the true self can be realized, honored and shared for the benefit of all. The philosophy and the form stem from the collaborative efforts of Acro Yoga’s co-founders, Jenny Sauer-Klein and Jason Nemer. Before he encountered yoga, Jeremy spent his childhood and young adulthood competing amidst some of the world’s best acrobats. In 1998, his career as a professional acrobat came to a close, but it was soon followed by the introduction to yoga that would serve as a path for the fusion of the two forms. Jenny was similarly introduced to yoga at a collegiate level, and began teaching a few years later while also teaching circus arts to children in an after school program. Together they have created Acro Yoga, based in San Francisco. |
