We (Tianna + Amable) have both used movement as a form of expression for as long as we can remember.

This has allowed us to establish a unique, creative, and playful teaching style. When being guided by us, expect to refine your acroyoga practice in a safe space, defying the voices we hear in our heads at times that put limits on what we're truly capable of. We will bring you back to the place where magic is possible and we have the opportunity to create it as we soar to new heights!| One of our greatest passions is building community and connection. We love to learn about the human experience as if the borders etched by our own human race did not exist; to acknowledge that at times we may all feel so divided, but at our hearts, we all just simply seek the same thing... To be happy, and to be loved. In unity, we rise.
