​
Fiona is a certified yoga and acroyoga teacher - find out more about her background on her website: www.yogafitwestcork.com
When training with Fiona, we learn it all:
-
Basing: being strong, balanced and reliable for our partner to take flight, basing is a weight-lifting workout, so much more fun than lifting iron at the gym!
-
Flying: Making yourself light, holding your shape, retraining your brain to direct your body when inverted or revolving, trusting your partners won't let you down and, yes, FLYING!!!
-
Spotting: essential to ensure the flyer is safe, when spotting you also get a sense of how you can base or fly the poses yourself.
​
