Motion Design Acrobatic Yoga

So fun! Lex’s acrobatic yoga workshops, held at various yoga studios around Philadelphia have totally changed my yoga practice by making me much much stronger. I took a recent four-​class workshop series at at Ploome in Northern Liberties, but MoDe runs regular Saturday practices out of the Upper Merion gymnastics studio in King of Prussia. Lex and Erin are patient, yet critical. I’d say the instruction follows more of a gymnastics or dance class vibe than a yoga practice. Classes begin with a quick warm up to introduce you to basic postures you’ll use for the rest of the class. Within a few minutes you’ll be flying with Lex as a base which is a killer core workout, or basing with Erin as a flyer in which case your core, legs and arms will be trembling by the end of class. Flying is joyous, basing will make you feel strong and awesome. Either way, you learn to keep your entire body engaged, and this is what really has impacted my yoga practice for the better. Plus, the learning curve is steep, and the class is ridiculously fun. Highly recommended!
