Front full twist🌪 So many hours have gone into getting this skill. Stoked that we’re feeling comfortable enough to try it outside without spotters. We started training this skill about 4-5 months ago. First into a foam pit, then moving into having spotters, and eventually once they’re feeling consistent we practice with crashpads around us.

How many 180 pops you think we did? Let me know your answers in the comment. Also would you get dizzy? Love working with the homie @belokurovav who makes these feel extremely easy. . . I’m wearing my gravel chill shorts and airwave tee by @alo

Usually you’ll catch me on my back L-basing—it’s my comfort zone. But sometimes you just need to stand up and try something new. This lift? Definitely didn’t come easy. Every practice session feels clunky at first, but there’s a weird joy in learning the mechanics. Little by little, it starts to smooth out. Also—can we talk about these locations? Pretty views spark creativity and a desire to make art. So that’s what we did. What’s a move you’re currently trying to learn? Wearing @alo

9,000 years old and still showing off. ✨ Getting to explore Matera, Italy—the third oldest continuously inhabited city in the world—was something truly spectacular. Winding through the Sassi (ancient cave dwellings), touching stone that’s been home to humans since 7,000 BC… it felt like walking through time itself. A few fun facts: 🏛️ Older than Rome. Older than Pompeii. People have lived here since the Neolithic period. 🕯️ The cave districts are called “Sassi” – meaning “stones” 📸 UNESCO World Heritage site since 1993 🎬 Doubles as ancient Jerusalem in films like The Passion of the Christ This place is magic. Go if you can. Wearing @aloyoga

Big thanks to @cathamilton_acro and @zaaaaaaaccchhhh for teaching us this fun flow they created: “Pretty Chair Swing Set” Acro tips: Step 1 – Get into side sit Flyer: Bring your legs together with knees bent forward in a crunch, balance on the base’s foot, and make space for the base’s other foot to join into a chair. Then use your core to sit up and land in a side sit. Base: pull the flyer’s hips toward your face while bringing your other foot back. Flex the foot under the flyer’s hip (no digging with toes), then slide that foot under their butt while bending that leg. Step 2 – Lower to backbend, then to star Flyer: externally rotate your hands and wait to be lowered. Once you feel the base’s foot on your back, go into a backbend. From there, move to a star shape while keeping your legs together. Base: lower the flyer by bending your leg to reach their hands. Slide the foot to their back (Fliont/flex the foot. No toes), then step your other foot onto their shoulder. Step 3 – Compress into side chair Flyer: compress by tucking your knees, bringing your left knee toward your right armpit. Feel that first foot, then start bringing your chest up and sit into the side chair position. Base: reach your right foot under the flyer’s left knee. It’s important not to drop your arms – keep supporting the flyer. Step your other foot under their butt. Step 4 – Pop to side star Flyer: keep your arm straight (fingers facing forward), weight in your shoulders, and wait to be lowered. To initiate the pop, let your hips go over your shoulders. Then hit the leg shape and keep your arm straight as you land. For the base: bend your legs and reach for the flyer’s hands with your fingers facing outward. Make sure the flyer is over your center. When popping, aim for where you want their hips to end up (over their shoulders). Keep your arms strong. When receiving, bend your legs and arms slightly. For spotters: stand over the flyer’s backside with your hands on their waist. Help the flyer find hips over shoulders and land safely. Protect their head – keep your hands on. Hope you enjoy this! Give it a try and of course, remember to use the spot! Both wearing @aloyoga

Here’s a fun handstand pose to do with friends! Acro Tips: Step 1: Start Flyer: Hands on ankles, not toes — jump with hips over shoulders. Base: Sit with feet apart, grip ribs, help lift hips forward. Step 2: Transition into pose Flyer: Wait for base’s hand on your back, then slowly bring one leg back for the calf grab. Base: Prevent falling backward, walk hands to lower back, then grab the calf. Step 3: Final position Flyer: Push through shoulders, press down on calf, explore shapes — say “down” to exit. Base: One hand on lower back (or ground if stable), other on calf — keep weight slightly forward. Step 4: Exit Flyer: Don’t collapse your arm — reverse steps, feel base’s support, use free leg to land. Base: Hand back to lower back, then release calf grip without pushing off. We had to get creative since the mirror was in front of the flyer. We didn’t want her to come crashing down. :) try it out and tag us Both wearing @alo

Ready to level up your inversions? This playful pose bridges the gap between a handstand and a backbend. Here’s how to make it happen. The Setup · Base: Place your feet on the flyer’s butt (heels at the crease). Bend your knees to bring them over your center and support their shoulders as they arch back. · Flyer: Walk your hands down to the base’s ankles (thumbs inside for stability) and lean back. Step 1️⃣: Find Your Grip · Flyer: From the ankles, reach one hand at a time to connect. Grip is key—run your index/middle fingers along the inside of the base’s wrist. make sure you have a firm grip and don’t squeeze too hard. · Base: Meet them with the same grip. Step 2️⃣: Lift Off · Base: Remove one foot from their back. Place the toes of that free foot against the flyer’s Achilles tendon on the same side. Press that leg back and lock your knee. · Flyer: Straighten that same leg, but do not push down yet. Wait for the base’s hands to move. Step 3️⃣: Find the Balance · Base: Bring your connected hands so they stack directly over your wrists (not above your shoulders). Use the leg still on their back to gently extend their hips up. · Flyer: When you feel your hands moving, push down into the foot at your Achilles and lift your hips to the ceiling. The Pose & Exit Once stacked, breathe and play with leg shapes. To exit, simply reverse the steps—base uses the free leg to support the flyer’s back on the way down. Safety First! 🚧 Always have a spotter by the flyer’s side, hands ready at their waist/hips to prevent a head drop. It’s all about patience and communication.

Can you hold a split? Let’s see if we can make it even more fun with this partner acro pose. 😉 Acro tips: Step 1: Starting Position (Reverse Hand-to-Hand) · Base: Start with the ball of your foot touching the flyer just below their knees as they load into a straddle. · Flyer: Keep most of your weight in your hands. Bring your shoulders directly over the base’s shoulders. Try not to sink too deep into your split at the very beginning—stay engaged and tight. · Base Adjustment (The Tip): Once the flyer is stable, slide your feet up so they rest against the flyer’s calves. This creates a wider, more secure platform and allows the flyer to safely relax into a deeper split. Step 2: The Transition · Flyer: Release one hand and reach for the base’s elbow on the same side. Shift all your weight onto that arm, then use your free hand to reach for the inside of your elbow (grabbing the elbow of the arm still holding the base). This creates a locked grip. · Base: Bend the elbow that the flyer just grabbed, reaching inward toward your other elbow. Simultaneously, use your free hand to grasp the flyer’s elbow. This interlocks your arms for stability. Step 3: The Descent · Base: Slowly lower the flyer’s legs back toward the ground, keep strong in the arms. · Flyer: Help by squeezing your legs together as you descend, bringing your feet together. This maintains control and alignment. Both wearing @alo #tutorial #yoga #acroyoga #partneracro

Miami is always a treat. Getting to spend time out there, soaking in the culture and beauty, never gets old. I had a blast exploring the Vizcaya Museum with my camera—such a stunning location to capture some fun moments. This isn’t a goodbye, it’s a “see you soon.” Thanks for the memories and the new friends. 🎞️🌴 camera: Sony A 7RIV Lens: Sony 24-70 Wearing @aloyoga

Just wrapped up a great working trip in Vail, Colorado. It’s an absolutely beautiful town. The trip was a perfect mix of productivity, enjoying the snow, and catching up with some friends. Living by the beach in LA, I don’t often get seasons like this, so I soaked up every moment of it! Both wearing @alo
