Acro Therapeutics
Acro Therapeutics is a practice using acrobatic basing to invert, stetch and traction a flyer. This series takes you through the foundational postures of acro therapeutics as well as some of our favorite variations and transitions. We've also some non-flying bodywork sequences for some grounded therapeutics.

Acro Washing Machines Series
A washing machine is series of acro poses strung together that start and end in the same place. In this series Sean and Emily teach 6 foundational washing machines that are common in many acro communities. There are an endless number of washing out there. These are a great place to start to fine tune your acro partnerships and have some fun expanding your acro practice.
Tricky Acro Balances and Inversions
This series contains some fun and challenging balances for both base and flyer. These shapes can be made possible with patience and persistence. Of course, it does help for many of these poses if the flyer has some experience in how to invert themself, and the base can hold the flyer on one leg.

Videos covering pre-requisites to skills in this video:
Reverse Bird, Straddle Bat
Side Star to Whale
Reverse Foot to Hand to Bird
Star to Bird - High Barrel Roll- Corkscrew
Front Plank Pops ( Hand Connected)
Bird to Throne Connected Pop
Whale to Foot to Hand Connected Pop
Front Plank to Reverse Hand to Hand
Side Star to Whale
This transition connects two of our foundational poses but can offer quite a challenge if you haven't taken the time to understand the variables at play. In this video we discuss the calibrations to help prepare for the transition, different ways the base can help slow the flyers movement as well as tips for how the flyer can control their transition into whale as the base finds their new foot placement.
Reverse Foot to Hand to Bird
This transition is a great way to exit for our foot to hand and the skills we learn in this version are transferrable to multiple heights, speeds, and movements. This transition also shows up in several common washing machines.
Star to Bird - High Barrel Roll- Corkscrew
In this video we review the transition of front plank to star and back which when pieced together create a super fun washing machine that twists and inverts. In this video we breakdown each transition and review the mechanics and connections that allow us to move with control and confidence.
Front Plank Pops ( Hand Connected)
This video explores popping our front plank position while staying connected in the hands. We discuss throwing mechanics and timing from the base and how to catch the flyer softly. We also discuss several levels at which you can practice this pop and how the flyer can add to the power of the throw.
Bird to Throne Connected Pop
Popping our front plank to throne is one of the first pops we teach as its a great place for flyers to learn how to change shape during a pop and for bases the get to learn the foundations of timing their pop and how to receive the catch softly. We also introduce a style of spotting that is versatile beyond just this pop.
Whale to Foot to Hand Connected Pop
Once you have practiced your whale to throne pop and throne to foot hand this pop will seem like the next obvious step. This video introduces the concept of "tempo popping" and offers ideas on how to blend multiple pops into a larger pop that travels further.
Front Plank to Reverse Hand to Hand
Transitioning from Front Plank to Reverse Hand to Hand is a great entrance for those comfortable with L Basing transitions to start entering into the RH2H position.The flyer is able to fix their shape in handstand shape while the base can use arms and legs to transfer the the flyer into a handstand in way that can be very controlled.

Reverse Bird, Straddle Bat
Prasarita Twist
Barrel Roll
Ninja Bat
Ninja Star
Reverse Bird Tik Toks
Turn Table Transition
Prasarita Twist
Learn to transition from folded leaf to straddle bat. We will also show spotting for this video.
Barrel Roll
Barrel Roll is another essential washing machine that you can take with you to any acro community and already have a trick in common. The barrel roll is comprised of the 5th position walk and side star tick tock so make sure to check out those videos to be ready to take on this flow. This videos goes over two options for hand grip and the details to put it all together.
Ninja Bat
Ninja Bat can be thought of as the beginner version of Ninja Star. This version is a linking together of our side star tick tocks and reverse bird tick tocks. So make sure to check out this video first. Once those pieces are in place this video gives you the finishing details to put it all together.
Ninja Star
Ninja Star is possibly the most common washing machine out there. The flow travels in multiple planes of movements and is known for its spinning circular movements. This video builds off of our tick tock videos and NInja Bat tutorial.
Reverse Bird Tik Toks
In this video, you'll learn how to perform reverse bird tik toks, which is a foundational movement for a few washing machines.
Turn Table Transition
This therapeutic transition offers a little more of a strength challenge for the base than the prasarita twist. This transition can be done in both directions.
