It should be quite obvious at this point that yoga is my passion and that I love to share it.
My journey thus far with yoga has, I believe, made it easier for me to be open to possibilities, play more, and have fun in more areas of my life.
As an AcroYoga instructor and yogic dancer, you can say Gina Newlin knows a thing or two about being open to possibilities, making play a part of her life and letting her passion take flight.
I was so thrilled to speak with Gina Newlin, AcroYoga instructor and owner of Green Locust Yoga. As you listen to this interview, you’ll see that Gina is definitely THE person to speak with on all things AcroYoga.
Hear how Gina discovered AcroYoga, used yoga to heal from a childhood dance injury, mixes yoga and dance and how yogic dance is different from AcroYoga. She also spoke on a masseuse’s view of Thai massage, the lost element of play in all of our lives, yoga’s impact on her relationships and perspective on life.
Listen to the conversation and then make sure to register to meet Gina Newlin and experience AcroYoga with a loved one (friends count) this Valentines.
