Acro Expansion: Intermediate Acroyoga Retreat in Bali
December 27, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - December 30, 2023 @ 12:00 pm
Introduction & what to expect
Are you ready for a Christmas full of acro fun and community building?
Are you ready to expand your acro along with other like-minded people?
Join us for 4 days & 3 nights in an intermediate acro retreat in the stunning Tabanan regency of Bali, Indonesia! The retreat will include 5 acro classes, acro jams, an early morning walk along rice paddies, a Thai massage workshop, yoga sessions, community building activities, bonfire night, an acroyoga photoshoot, delicious food 3x a day and free time to enjoy the the pool or the garden!
Our acro classes are mainly focused on creative L-basing flows.
The prerequisite to join is to be already super confident in the following skills: Star, Sidestar, Cartwheels in and out of Straddle Bat, and Hand Bird
When we say super confident we mean: you don’t need anyone else to tell you what to do, you can feel exactly what’s going wrong in the above moves and know exactly what to ask of your partner. If you ARE, you’re welcome to join! If you aren’t, we recommend our beginner retreat instead. Please make sure you’re really honest with yourself on this, because you can get much more out of a retreat that actually suits your level rather than one that’s beyond or below your level. You can the info for our beginner retreat here:
During our retreat, we will have you learn a creative sequence built up of interesting, playful entrances and exits as well as funky seamless transitions. We will have things to challenge you as well as help you refine your already existing skills. During our classes, we will provide you with plenty of personalized tips to fit your unique body and abilities.
You are welcome to join the retreat with OR without an acro partner! In our classes we always work in groups of threes: a base, a flyer and a spotter, and we keep switching roles (of course, if you’re a flyer and don’t ever want to base — or vice versa — that’s fine!). The retreat will include playful community building activities to help us create meaningful connections and lasting memories together. All activities are completely optional and you can feel free to skip any activity that you don’t wish to or can’t attend for any reason.
If all the things mentioned above sound like something you’d enjoy, keep reading for more details!

Meet your hosts
Hi all! We are Double Up, also known as Flo and Lloydie, and we are an acroyoga teacher duo. We fell in love with acro in London 4+ years ago through developing a consistent practice together. Just a couple months into our acro journey we already knew we wanted to teach it together one day. Two years later, to pursue our dream we left everything behind, including Lloydie quitting his 18-year-long firefighting career at the London Fire Brigade. We came to Bali, where we now teach multiple weekly acro classes for various levels, as well as workshops at retreats and teacher trainings. We are both qualified yoga teachers, as well as Lloydie having completed a specialized 200hr acroyoga teacher training, too.
In our classes we like to pay attention to technique down to the smallest details, all the while never forgetting to have fun in the process! We believe in meeting everyone at their skill level and helping them grow in their practice in a well-paced, organic, progressive way.
