their teaching style is so welcoming and adaptive
February 2024
Fantastic classes with the best instructors! My favorite thing about this business is how accessible they make acroyoga to all skill levels. The owners are community driven and their teaching style is so welcoming and adaptive to the students present.

I was amazed how much we got to learn in a short time
January 2024
My husband and I did the acro date night for my husbands birthday! It was a lot of fun and I was amazed how much we got to learn in a short time for a complete beginner. I would love to go back and try some more classes. The instructors were really good at adapting to both my husband and my learning styles.

dedicated and talented teachers
October 2024
Chris and Katrina are the best! Feel so lucky to have such dedicated and talented teachers in Austin. They are always so kind and patient, and strive to have a deep understanding of acro and the art of teaching. They spend so much of their time and energy thinking of ways to grow the community and to keep us all safe while doing so. Highly recommend checking out one of their classes!

The instructors were nothing short of amazing!
Dec 2023
My husband and I did a couples class (date night) to celebrate our 6 year anniversary. The instructors were nothing short of amazing! We felt welcomed and calmed as soon as we arrived and had an amazing time! I really appreciate the bonding they also incorporate towards the end with my partner and I. We added on “meditation” into our experience and I think it was a good choice for us for the end. I want to do it again! Highly recommend. :)

I felt so welcome as a new student with Empowered Acro! And I really appreciated the reinforcement about the critical role of spotters. Thanks for helping to keep us all practicing safely.

I highly recommend them to anyone, anywhere on their acro journey.
Feb 1, 2022
My high school aged daughter has been taking lessons with Empowered Acro for a few months and absolutely loves it. Katrina and Chris provide a safe and supportive environment to help students of all levels improve their skills and have a great time. We couldn’t be happier with Empowered Acro. It’s been a joy to have them coaching my daughter. I highly recommend them to anyone, anywhere on their acro journey.

fantastic instructors and lovely people!
May 22, 2021
Katrina and Chris are fantastic instructors and lovely people! They are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about acro and sharing the art with others! In only one session, my boyfriend and I learned multiple postures and were given the opportunity to both fly and base. We were sore (in a good way) the next day having used new muscles! We’re excited to go back and highly recommend learning from the Empowered Yoga Team!

super impressed with their customer service!
Feb 15, 2020
I registered for a Valentine’s Day couple acro yoga class, but my boyfriend broke up with me days before the class. I wrote them explaining my situation and they offered me a full refund and wrote a very sweet note. Was super impressed with their customer service!

The instructors were so helpful, and the class was so supportive. Meeting all the great people in the acro community was as amazing as learning a new practice. This class was so good, I keep re-enrolling. Highly recommended.

FAQ
What should I wear?
We find that stretchy, form-fitting workout-wear is best. Avoid clothing with pockets as well as sheer and slippery fabrics. Loose shirts are fine to wear as long as they are long enough to tuck in.
What should I bring with me?
Mats are provided. Water bottles & workout towels are nice to have.
