respirar juntos.

a essência

O meu percurso no Acroyoga começa na Sicília, com Luigi e Francesca, professores de fama internacional e organizadores da famosa Sicily Acro Convention.
Desde 2015 ensino Acroyoga a pessoas de todas as idades. Participei em aulas, workshops, retiros, conventions e cruzei-me com professores do mundo inteiro altamente qualificados com os quais aprendi muito.

Faço parte do duo “Le Turbe di Falloppio”, o primeiro duo de acroyoga costituido por duas mulheres a aparecer na Itália.

Depois destes anos todos, depois de muitas acrobacias, muitos saltos e muitas cambalhotas, hoje o acroyoga continua a ser para mim o que aprendi no início do meu percurso: comunidade e suporte reciproco, confiança, jogo, respirar juntos para sentir e respeitar os tempos de cada um.

Acroyoga para mim significa voltar a conectar com a minha criança interior e sentir a alegria e o desafio da cooperação para chegar a um objetivo comum.

o que é o acroyoga?

O AcroYoga é uma prática que junta os conceitos do yoga e da meditação com a acrobacia e as técnicas de massagem thailandesa e se funda se funda no conjunto de três papéis:

  • BASE: é a pessoa que, com o seu corpo, cria a estrutura sobre a qual o flyer se pode mover. Tem a função de dar suporte, estabilidade e segurança.
  • FLYER: é a pessoa que executa os movimentos utilizando a estrutura corporal da base. Representa a alegria do voo e a confiança em nos próprios e nos outros.
  • SPOTTER: tem a função de cuidar dos outros dois elementos nas várias transições. Representa a calma, a atenção, a presença, o cuidado e a segurança.

Para que o sistema possa funcionar, estes três elementos tem que trabalhar em conjunto, cada um fundamental no seu próprio papel.

Quando a Alma nasceu e assim que o meu corpo sentiu novamente a vontade de voltar ao movimento senti a necessidade de ter um espaço onde pudesse incluir este novo pequeno ser que fazia parte da minha vida dentro da minha prática regular de Acroyoga. Um espaço onde pudesse partilhar com ela a alegria e os benefícios que esta prática me trazem.
Comecei então a utilizar o Acroyoga como ferramenta para criar momentos de jogos, presença e proximidade com a minha filha.
A partir daí foi muito curto o passo que me levou a querer estender estes momentos de alegria a outras famílias.
Na prática do Acroyoga as crianças podem dar espaço à sua natural energia através do movimento físico, aprimorando a consciência corporal; ao mesmo tempo, há uma aprendizagem relacionada à comunicação, à escuta e à cooperação através das dinâmicas de grupo, dos jogos propostos no aquecimento e da prática em si. 

Extender o Acroyoga às famílias têm como objetivo fortalecer a confiança, a cooperação e a proximidade entre pais e filhos, partilhando a alegria do jogo e a presença na respiração em conjunto.

Angela Kronenburg García is an anthropologist, whose work has focused on resource access and land-use change in African drylands. She contributes to the MYNA project with case-studies in Mozambique and Kenya. In northern Mozambique, she explores how the expansion of Christian commercial farming is changing land use in a region that is partly Muslim and where the local population largely depends on small-scale (subsistent) farming for a living. In Kenya, she studies how the re-start of individual land demarcation, the proliferation of Evangelical churches and changes in Maasai culture connect in Loita.
