Esther Hertog

People often call Esther the 'Flying AcroYogi' – because she flies around the world to explore, play, and teach AcroYoga, blending acrobatics, yoga and Thai massage into one playful practice.

Mixed movement

Esther believes that everyone can fly. In her videos you learn to fly ‘professionally’; you’ll be given clear instructions and fun preparations so you will be able to base, fly and spot all moves safely and comfortably. All you need to be able to do is to breathe and play!

Esther, a certified Vinyasa teacher, has a background in Dutch Acrobatics and has been practising yoga for over 10 years and Thai massage for over 5 years. Since 2011 Esther has developed special AcroYoga workshops for Parents & Kids, teaching them to develop playfulness, trust and bonding.

Wrist love restoration with a partner
Dieke Bikker
Mixed movement, Therapeutic
Whenever you have done yoga where the wrists are challanged (arm balances, handstands or downward dogs), you can do this short massage for the wrists. Nice at any time of the day and especially good if you work in an office, at a keyboard or if you have RSI or CANS (complaints of the arm, neck and shoulder). You need a partner to do this with. The great thing is that you will both give and receive. Enjoy!
