AcroYoga Training Video: The Espresso Shot, an intro to Whips & Pops (courtesy of Daniel Scott Yoga)

Quick, relatively easy, and incredibly fun-- the Espresso Shot is great introduction to the world of AcroYoga Whips (quick burst of controlled momentum) and Pops (explosive air time). This step-by-step breakdown should get your practice caffeinated in no time flat, provided you should take your time and play safely. When working with momentum-based flows, proper spotting is of the utmost importance. Spotting does not always mean a third person-- Bases need to be honest about their ability to support their Flyers, no matter what happens. Flyers need to be honest with their ability to remain safe and in control of their own faculties when things get a lil’ crazy, all while believing in their Base. Essentially, spotting is about trust in all directions-- in your partner, in yourself, in gravity, and in practice. Enjoy the ride! Want to get better at AcroYoga? Daniel Scott can help!
