Interfusion Festival X (IFX)

Give yourself a treat and learn how to care for others in this sweet workshop.  Through skillful guidance, you'll learn how both giving and receiving Thai Bodywork can help your brain quiet down and allow your body to unwind.
While exploring traditional Thai techniques and other tools for respectful connection, you will assist and support a partner while keeping your own body in proper alignment to stay comfortable.  We'll take turns giving and receiving, allowing you to both care for another and also explore the depths of your own relaxation. In the end, you'll sail on out thoroughly ready to meet whatever comes next.  
This workshop is open to everyone, and no previous experience is required. You are welcome to sign up with a partner with whom you want to work, but also feel free to come alone and we'll pair you up with a new friend!

Welcome to the world of AcroYoga, where we are all powerful enough to base, nimble enough to fly, and trustworthy enough to spot! This intro level class will cover some of the basic poses as well as dive into the AcroYoga philosophy. Come ready to challenge your boundaries and assumptions about what we all are able to do. Enthusiastic consent is as important a concept as physical safety and the mechanics of the movements.
Class Level: Beginner
Class Prerequisites: Willingness to try new things and respect each other’s boundaries.

Day 1 - Precision Icarian
The first day we will focus on cleaning up Icarian skills to make them precise and tempo-able. Expect to refine skills you have done before - working towards mastery of these skills. We will also incorporate some unique pops and drills you may not have worked on before! This lesson will build towards linking skills together for seamless icarian flows.

Prereqs: Straight throws in bird and throne

Day 2 - Whip Mastery
We will work towards building whip technique for more dynamic skills. We have specific techniques that we have learned from teachers all over the world as well as developed through our own training that we love to share. This lesson will give you a deeper understanding of these skills and all of the building blocks needed for progressing toward more dynamic whip pops. We will touch on nervous system regulation, dynamic spotting, and how to keep these skills safe.

Prereqs: Comfort in bird, throne, reverse bird, and reverse throne. Some experience attempting whips is helpful.

Day 3 - Jump Start your Whip Pops
Whether you’ve done a handful of whip pops, or you’re still working towards your first one, this class will have content for you. We will have a short recap of the first two lessons leading into dynamic entries in and out of whips. Multiple levels of content will be offered and students can work at their own pace. Our goal is to offer a clear and safe pathway - it is most important to us for our students to learn when they are ready for the next progression, and when they need to continue repping out certain drills.

Prereqs: Comfort with whips, and basic icarian transitions such as bird to throne. Doing the first two workshops covers these prereqs.
