What makes Sarah an Acro SuperHero?
I have a passion for baseing and flying with an intermediate practice in both. This allows me to work with a variety of people in both roles creating a well-rounded practice and teaching experience. I also love to work on refinement and smooth motion. Getting down to the nitty-gritty of each flow and working out all the kinks.
​
Sarah's superpowers as an Acro Teacher:
Safety comes first, emotional and physical both. I love working progressions with an emphasis on spotting to give accessibility to more advanced moves and flows. I feel like fun can reign free when everyone is in an environment that they feel safe and comfortable in. I aim to provide that in each of my classes.
​
What type/style of Acro does Sarah teach?
I love teaching washing machines, creative flow and beginner Acro as well as general movement and body awareness.
​
Sarah's current Acro offerings:
I currently am available to teach private classes and can be found at Jams and subbing for teachers in the Calgary Acro community.
​
What to expect from Sarah's classes:
I am all about co-creating. Working in a partnership to fine tune and find attunement with one another.
​
How does Sarah incorporate social justice themes into their Acro offerings?
I put emphasis on safety both physical and emotional. I put an emphasis on gentle speech, inclusion and boundaries.
Sarah's BIO:
My journey into movement began years ago with sports and fitness then expanded into yoga and Acro yoga. My first teacher training was for ashtanga yoga and since then I have taken numerous workshops for yoga, Acro yoga, movement and hand balancing. I also have a passion for personal development and have a plethora of self-improvement courses under my belt from conflict resolution to leadership. What I love about Acro and hope to share with the world is the amazing connection and community available. Working with others to create intricate movement and flows I find to be rewarding in so many ways and I love sharing it with others.
