About Eugene your Coach (@acroyogacoach)

Eugene, is a pioneer in Partner Yoga Art from the UK and the creative mind behind AcroYoga Art and several related creative partner practices.   He transitioned from a martial arts instructor to an AcroYoga visionary gaining international acclaim for his exploration of acroyoga as an art form that celebrates the connection and elegance of two partners working in harmony

  

He began creating AcroYogaDance in 2013 after being inspired by the potential he saw for AcroYoga to become a beautiful art form.  The focus on artistic potential required him to develop a new methodology that has produced the signature, effortless flow that he is known for.  

In 2015 the world's biggest yoga blog described his first professional video as "a means of creativity, of self-expression, and an art form in itself: a celebration of what a union of two human bodies, minds, and spirits in moving meditation can achieve."

In 2021 he was invited to choreograph and perform for Sky Arts channel's Unmuted.  Eugene asked Kesi Rose Olidory to partner with him for this piece, even though she had only tried acroyoga twice. Kesi is an incredible dancer and yoga teacher.  Six more sessions to choreograph and practice was all it took before performing the flow for the cameras.  When the performance was broadcast on Sky tv, the show's presenters described it as "Absolutely phenomenal. The epitome of artistic beauty"

Heart Dance Meditation

Heart Dance Meditation represents the Yin to AcroYoga’s Yang in the Partner Yoga Art syllabus.  A partner, moving meditation of stillness in motion.  Beautifull, calm music help partners to drop into almost a trance-like flow-state where time often seems to stand still. The most common feedback being "I felt at one with the universe".  As a healing, therapeutic practice Heart Dance Meditation enables us to continue creating after the more physical efforts of AcroYoga usually require us to stop and rest. In many ways, it's a contrasting artform which creates powerful, mesmerising imagery when captured in still photography. It's also a rare treat for photographers excited to shoot such raw, organic, real-life art.

Partner Yoga Flows

Partner Yoga Art Flows explore and blend acroyoga and vinyasa yoga in one sequence of flow.  The L-base position is a great place to learn AcroYoga, the challenge is there are so many fun things to do that it’s easy to get stuck there.  In Partner Yoga Flows partners transition between yoga and acroyoga, connected then disconnect and vice versa.  This is more challenging and healthy for the base than constantly lying on their back in postition.  It also offers more possibilities for creativity in terms of choreography.  

 

Infinity Flows are a form of Partner Yoga Flow where the sequence loops continually.  An Infinity Flow still has one or more points where the duo separate. In this respect, they can be challenging to choreograph in a way that works but fun to practice.

How it Works, How To Win

Contest winner

  • The person with the most sharing points wins
  • You gain points for sharing your link and when others join the contest
  • The winning prize cannot be transferred or sold
  • This prize is for one person (I might do a couples contest another time)
  • This is the biggest prize I feel I can give away (and there's a possible follow-up part I haven't mentioned yet).  The main thing I get in return is a coaching story, therefore it's important that you are new to AcroYoga and haven't already learned acroyoga. Thanks for understanding!
  • Physics and relative body proportions are a reality of AcroYoga.  It needs to be practical and safe for me to lift, support you, practice and  create art for 7 days. If unsure please DM me @acroyogacoach 
  • Heart Dance Meditation is a key part of Partner Yoga Art and this programme.  As a therapeutic practice it allows us to keep creating after the physical efforts of AcroYoga usually require us to rest.  It also produces beautiful, contrasting art. If you don't wish to try or experience HDM I'll need to offer the prize to the person in 2nd place.  (For some HDM is a convenient reason to buy one or two new dresses, just saying! Joking aside, I totally respect if you don't wish to try it for any reason)

Your requirements 

  • You have a regular yoga practice (or similar pilates etc) otherwise 7 days practice won't be possible and you won't get the most from it.
  • You are new to AcroYoga* and haven't already learned  AcroYoga. Otherwise, it won't be a genuine coaching story. Plus my approach to acroyoga is also quite different.  
  • *If you’re a current/ previous coaching student of mine it’s OK to enter as we can continue your existing progress/ story.  
  • *If you tried acroyoga a few times and it didn't really work, that's also OK
  • Interest in learning Partner Yoga Art and Heart Dance Meditation
  • Follow @partneryogaart and @heartdancemedtiation on Instagram
  • Comment on the 2 demo videos to confirm you’ve watched them
