My Green Lake tipster Alaina sent us word of some very cool workshops coming to Green Lake Park:
Sam Salwei of Team YogaSlackers and Adelaide of the Shimmy Sisters and America’s Got Talent are traveling over 5200 miles and stopping in at least 12 cities during a 31 day tour of the western United States- “Discovering Harmony in Duality” focusing on slackline, hoop dance, and partner acrobatic workshops.
SEATTLE made it to their list of cities to visit (heck yes!) and I am so incredibly honored to be hosting the following workshops for these amazing instructors:
Monday June 28th 6pm-9pm Dynamic Duo Acrobatics
The dynamics of working with another person acrobatically can be like learning to walk again. Instead this time you’ll be Flying! Sam and Adelaide are bringing to you a way to sync up harmoniously and connect through counter balances, partner yoga, and breath. Like the yin yang symbol, acrobatic partner movements can leave you unclear on where one thing begins and the other ends. After looking at the world upside down you may not even know up from down. But then again, it’s all relative
No partner or experience necessary, though yoga practice helpful.
Tuesday June 29th 2:30pm – 4:30pm Fundamentals of Slacklining
Offer a unique practice that redefines your sense of balance and mental focus. Great for yogis, climbers, and athletes of all forms, slackline yoga teaches complete body awareness and is an excellent cross training tool. Slackline workshops include the basics of the “slackasana series”, including sitting, kneeling, arm balancing, standing and walking on the line. Taught By Sam Salwei, co founder of yoga slackers, this workshop will surely push you to your limits, where you can find even more possibilities.
Tuesday June 29th 5pm-7pm Fundamentals of Hooping
The circular nature of the hoop provides endless possibilities. Allow Adelaide to get you started with a few tricks will get your wheels spinning and your hoops whirling. Adelaide will teach a combination of both on and off the body hoop manipulation, and introduce playing with the hoop different hoop on different planes and angles. This is a mixed level workshop geared towards beginners. All ages welcome! If you have a hoop bring it, otherwise Adelaide will have some to share, and some for purchase to take home and practice. Caution: very addicting!
Workshops will be DONATION BASED and held at Seattle’s very own Green Lake Park (exact location T.B.A.)
Confirm your attendance on Facebook here and check out their blog for videos, photos, and other fun stuff!
Be sure to tell your friends about this event- it’s going to be a party in the park and I hope to see you there!
