Our flexible program allows you to choose which activities suit you best when you register, so whether you’re an advanced practitioner or just dipping your toes into these practices.
| Capoeira Angola is a traditional Afro-Brazilian martial art that blends movement, music, and ritual. Unlike the faster and more competitive style of Capoeira Regional, Capoeira Angola emphasizes slow, deliberate movements and acrobatic elements, close-to-the-ground play, and rich cultural traditions. Its focus on rhythm, improvisation, and the fluid interaction between players creates a shared language of movement that highlights connection between participants and creativity. | AcroYoga is a playful and dynamic practice that combines elements of acrobatics, yoga, and therapeutic movement. It emphasizes balance, trust, and connection between partners, often involving lifts, inversions, and counterbalances. The practice nurtures physical strength and flexibility while encouraging a sense of shared exploration and communication between participants, making it a highly social and interactive experience. |
