They are many similarities between finding the right person for the rest of your life and finding the right person to train Acro with...
In this blog we discuss how these two things relate together.
If you need to find an acro partner, or find a romantic partner. Or even if you want to improve either of these types of relationships that you have, then read on...
Today I'm going to give some advice on the best way to find and choose a dedicated acro training partnership.
Finding an acro partner is a bit like dating.
It takes time...
You have to put yourself out there
You have to meet many people and get rejected many times before finding the right partner.
Plus how you feel about potential partners isn't logical, you don't choose on pure reasoning, it's a feeling, an emotional decision.
This is my main 1st advice for choosing an acro partner.
It should be based on feeling.
And I don't mean attraction, I mean how do you feel when you do acro with this person?
Do you feel happy, do you laugh and have fun, do you feel comfortable and safe etc.
For me, this is the most crucial factor in a potential acro partnership.
The 2nd important advice is...
Common goals/objectives for the practice.
Again coming back to the relationship analogy.
If one of you wants marriage and kids, and the other wants a casual fling.
It probably won't work well as a long term partnership.
Same goes for acro.
Understanding if one of you wants to train to join the circus and the other just likes playing and having fun.
Or one of you wants to be an acro teacher and the other just wants to create pretty Instagram content.
None of these desires is wrong, just it probably won't be cohesive and aligned for a long term partnership if the desires aren't aligned with each other.
The 3rd and last advice for this topic is...
Skill level.
I often hear many people saying they want a regular partner who is more skilled than they are.
If you can find that great, that will help you grow for sure.
But in my opinion points, 1 and 2 above are infinitely more important than the skill level of your partner.
I personally believe if you have a less skilled partner with a great connection, plus similar goals and desires for the practice.
You will end up going much further than a highly skilled partner with a poor connection and different desires and goals to you.
For the last time, to use the relationship analogy.
You can choose the rich guy who you don't love, but that won't make you happy in the long run.
Or you can choose someone you love and want to create a life with and that will last and fulfil you so much more.
The other thing is you don't have to limit yourself to only 1 regular acro training partner.
If you can maintain the partnerships and commitments you can of course find more than one great acro partnership (back to being an acro slut, haha!)
Lastly, if you are struggling to find an acro partner and you've been looking a while.
Don't give up, keep going to jams, meeting new acro people and it will happen eventually.

Will you My Valentine for Acroyoga?
Brent
Today we've got a special episode for Valentine's Day talking about Acroyoga and relationships.
Today we've got a special episode brought to you by The Acroyoga Show in partnership with Yogiapproved. Talking about Acroyoga and relationships.
We're gonna dive into our relationship, how it started and how it benefits from Acroyoga.
So Acroyoga has done wonders for us and our relationship.
It's the reason we met. And it's the reason we've stuck together.
Not the only reason but certainly a catalyst for accelerating our relationship. It's taught us trust, it's not as communication giving and receiving intimacy and to be playful and enjoy life, which is all great things that everyone can learn from and can improve their life with.
So we highly recommend you try now Acro, it's Valentine's Day is coming up.
So grab your partner, Acro is a great activity that you can do together and go join, go have some fun and learn from us and give Acro a try.
Today we're going to talk about how Acroyoga builds trust, communication, intimacy, playfulness, and giving and receiving in a relationship. First, we want to talk about how we met which was at Acro jam.
Ksenia
Met this guy and other friends there, I started to know him.
And that moment, I almost didn't speak English.
Brent
Acro really helped us communicate.
And because she didn't speak English all too much.
Ksenia
Kind of hard, but possible.
And without verbal communication was just doing practice
Brent
We were able to communicate through Acro, with the whole nonverbal part of the practice.
While playing with each other and over time and got to build that foundation of communication.
Bringing two people from two different sides of the world.
Acro also helps build trust in a relationship really learn to trust one another because your life is in my hands, my life is in your hands.
And I remember, in the beginning, she was very worried about falling.
Ksenia
There, just like scream all the time.
Brent
I can't do it! I can't do it! After we built that trust and built that progress together.
Ksenia
It was an interesting process to trust other person and trust yourself
Brent
Understanding it rather than running away from it.
And when you work on it together, you can address those issues and move through it.
And that's one of the great things about Acro is you confront your fears and your put faith face to face with it.
Ksenia
You don't like, you scared this way.
Let's communicate here more, I will say where am I?
what I'm doing next moment and we will get it and we got it.
Brent
The benefit of Acroing with a partner that you're in a relationship is that it builds intimacy very quickly, you're very close to each other.
You're working together working on a common goal.
Ksenia
Just know each other so fast and deep. You're working together like a team.
Brent
Which is a great way to build a relationship with someone else. Know it's not an intimate practice by nature.
So you don't need to have a partner but if you do have one and you do Acro with them, it's a great way to increase that intimacy with one another.
You're starting a romantic relationship or been in one for a while a great way to have a goal that you guys can both work on together in a fun and playful way.
Acro does a great job of teaching playfulness. Acro just allows us to be a kid again and have some fun and play and laugh and fall and fail. And that's all part of the process. Don't take it too seriously.
Learn to play, learn to laugh, learn to love and enjoy life.
When you are working with someone else, you have to both give and receive and Acro does a great job of teaching you both of those roles.
Ksenia
Having control and releasing control.
Brent
There are many times in acro that you have to communicate with your partner about what you want what you need, but also how you can help your partner get what they need and what they want.
Ksenia
It's really interesting if you don't just practice, you think how you're what you're gonna say to you there. And like how your body's was partner working
Brent
Really gives us some insight into your own body and your own practice.
As well as your partner and understanding what is needed, but transfers great into a relationship because many times we're in a relationship but we don't communicate to our partner what we need or what we want.
And Acro is a great practice ground to do that because you're constantly giving feedback back and forth and understanding what is needed to accomplish the pose.
Ksenia
During practices start to learn how to sometimes just relax, release.
Your partner will do everything for you.
This now, you just shoot like keep your shape or just like relax, because if you will not, it's not going to work right away.
Brent
So it's a great way to understand what the people around you need but also to tell them what you need as well.
So give Acro a try.
It is an awesome tool that you can use to elevate your relationships it builds trust, communication, playfulness, intimacy and teaches you how to give and receive with your partner as well as understand your own needs. It's a great tool that has helped our lives immensely.
Thank you for watching this special episode about relationship goals, and giving you a deeper insight into our relationship.
We hope you enjoyed it.
