I've been involved with the New York AcroYoga scene since 2007, and with our annual summer New York AcroFest since its inception in 2013. Over the years you might have seen some of our Festival Sunday park jams, as we end the weekend with a huge outdoor community jam. The parks have changed, but above, we are striding out to play in Central Park's Sheep Meadow.
 This year, NY AcroFest even hosts more stellar Acrobatic worldwide teachers than ever.
NYAF takes place the weekend of July 19-21. Saturday and Sunday are at Chelsea Piers, and there are Friday events too....
All levels and styles: L-basing, standing acro, acrodance, trios, handstanding, and therapeutics, are some of the categories.
 This year as last year, co-teacher Sandy Ames and I will teach a lunar session:
Sunday 1:30-3:15
Thai Massage for Bases and Flyers.
If you are into an adventurous, communal weekend of learning and fun through challenging your body, check out NYAF!
And maybe you'll unwind in that final Thai session with us before jamming in the park!

 As I type I've just started my 10-day Master Cleanse juice fast.
But the cleanses I lead for friends wishing the educative and energizing effects of cleansing are way more flexible and gentle!
I always feel fantastic when I cleanse. My joints are more flexible. My skin is so clean, smooth, and radiant, progressively more so through the cleanse. My energy feels easeful yet effervescent.
Why food cleanse, anyway? It reduces inflammation. It clears cellular storage of environmental toxins that breed ailments, minor and major. When I had periods, I never had cramps. Whenever I cleanse, I feel better in my yoga postures. We don't cleanse for weight loss, though that is an effect. if needed. We cleanse for health: gut, body, brain, and immunity health.
August 16-29 are my dates for a summer Fresh Foods Cleanse Reset - if I have enough enrollments to justify Zoom calls. Take a look and let me know soon if you want it!

 Empathy & Embodiment Retreat: Think of it as NVC In Paradise. I'm so excited for this 6-day, 5-night adventure that Cathan Kabrelian and I are co-creating for you all on the beaches, lounge cabanas, pools, pagodas, and restaurants of our luxury all-inclusive resort on the beaches of Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, Dec. 5-10.
Cathan and I are both enthusiastic about NVC and the Compassionate Communication practices, skills and techniques that make life more wonderful; we also both love movement, adventure, fun, and travel! So, we've incorporated it all, this retreat. Add in Community ~ that's you ~ and all our needs are met on this trip!
 We have built in a group Puerto Plata city tour, with shopping stops and photo opps.
We will kick off our first morning with a waterfalls trek.
And we will have group dinners reserved by "moi" the resort club member, at the varied and wonderful VIP restaurants that this resort boasts!
We've secured luxurious Cofresi Beach Condo hotel rooms, right on Cofresi Beach.
Spaces are limited for our little experiment in learning about our feelings and needs, while we are meeting delicious needs. If it calls to you ~ jump on it, or email me questions!
