"I have worked with Rob and Julie incorporating a dance flow into my AcroYoga practice, making transitions between poses more fluid and elegant. They provide a wealth of knowledge about movement, bodies and alignment, and are able to adapt flows and postures to you as an individual and provide a safe and effective way to practise. Most of all they are friendly fun and encouraging."
