Polyamory is The Best! (in Acroyoga)

This is in terms of polyamory in Acroyoga, by that I mean doing acro with a lot of different people.

Now there is of course also a lot of merit and benefit to having a regular acro training partner, and I'll talk about that in the next blog.

But first I want to explain why there is a lot of value in playing with many people.

That's because...

Everyone is different.

In their personality, in their bodies, in their communication and so on.

I've literally never done acro with 'Jimmy' and thought oh this is exactly like doing acro with 'Bobby'.

There might be some similarities here and there, but it's never the same.

And this is great, because it means we can learn something from everyone we do acro with.

Even people of completely different skill levels can teach you something.

Something about communication, or trust, or body control, or comfort etc.

In my opinion to really understand and master the art of acroyoga you need to learn all of these different nuances in how different people do acro and what works and doesn't work.

It's a bit like if you're a surfer.

If you always surf on the same surfboard, and always at the same beach.

You'll get damn good on that board and at that beach, you'll rip it up.

But if you really want to be a pro and master the art of surfing you need to understand and be familiar with multiple boards, and multiple beaches and waves.

As I said before there's also a lot of value in training consistently with one surf board or one training partner too.

But to really understand and master a craft you need to experience all of it.

Otherwise when your surf board breaks, or your long time acro partnership ends, you're going to have a lot of work to do to get back to that level.

So my advice for you, go try out acro polyamory.

Play safe though and always get consent ;) haha
