In her latest adventure, Tamara visited The Hot Yoga Spot in Stuyvesant Plaza to try acroyoga, a dynamic practice that combines traditional yoga poses with acrobatics. With a focus on balance, trust, and connection, acroyoga encourages partners to work together, often resulting in a few laughs, some wobbly moments, and even moments of flight.

Acroyoga has been growing in popularity across the Capital Region, offering both fitness benefits and a unique opportunity to connect with others. Sean Hodgkiss, who has been teaching yoga for nearly a decade, says acroyoga can be a powerful tool for improving posture and breathwork.

“There are certain moves that are great to expand the chest so you can learn how to breathe earlier,” Hodgkiss explained.

Alec Lewis, a regular at The Hot Yoga Spot, shared that yoga—and acroyoga in particular—played a major role in his 200-pound weight loss journey.

“I did it! But I’m making sure that all of this stays a part of my lifestyle,” he said.

From wobbly poses to moments of lift-off, Tamara’s experience proved that acroyoga is not only a great workout, but also a lesson in letting go and having fun.
