AcroYoga Therapeutics & Healing Sound
Written by Vagelis Apostolopoulos
AcroYoga blends the spiritual wisdom of yoga, the loving kindness of Thai massage, and the dynamic power of Acrobatics. These three ancient lineages form this practice that cultivates trust, connection and playfulness. There are 7 main elements that make up the practice: circle ceremony, asana, partner flow, Thai massage, therapeutic flying, inversions & spotting, and partner acrobatics. Our highest aim is to bring individuals into a state of union with themselves, with each other, and with the divine. From this place of mutual support the true self can be realized, celebrated and shared for the benefit of all.
Healing Sound is a meditation were we use the sound of our voices to stimulate to each one of the 7 Chakras as a way to harmonize our body and mind making use of our own sound. Following a long deep relaxation "Shavassana" with live music to integrate the self healing work. Recommended to people who want to experience the healing power their own voices. Also very effective for relaxing the stress and strain of daly life.
Kirtan will follow at 22:00!!!!

Pau Castellsague (Barcelona)
Acroyoga is the jedi sword thats helps Pau face this amazing adventure called life with a big smile. Thanks to this practice he is closer and closer to his Dharma: 'Extract from the deep inside of everything it's most beautiful essence'. This sounds even better in spanish: 'Extraer del fondo de todas las cosas lo más bonito que hay en ellas'. Pau was introduced to the practice of Yoga by the light of his younger brother Wari Om. Meeting his teacher Soma in the Navarra mountains was the heigth to the awakening of his spiritual being. That was the beginning of a dedicated yoga practice following the teachings and wisdom of the three major avatars of all times: Jesus, Buddha and Krishna. His path is full of joy and gratitude as auspicious teachers cross by him every step of the way: Jordi, Dolors, Laurino, Takis, Jason, Jenny, Soma, Goenka...
