[edit] Acroyoga

Acroyoga (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

A physical practice which blends elements of Yoga, Acrobatics, and Thai Massage. Not much evidence of notability. Essentially spam for one school. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 06:49, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete doesn't meet notability requirements and doesn't have any reliable 3rd party sources. Jasynnash2 (talk) 11:40, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep -- Acroyoga is an important modern school of yoga, simliar to Bikram or Ashtanga (both of which have substantial articles here on WP). I have added more information. It has been featured in Yoga Journal, the most prominent publication in this field, distributed internationally. --Comixboy (talk) 20:57, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep I'm an acrobat, and acroyoga is the new trend. --Eiland (talk) 17:08, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Disclosure -- I practice acro-yoga. I first witnessed it in 2003, and finally figured out what it was in 2007. It has been a long hard road to track down this artform. I want to help others understand and appreciate it. I have never met the "founders" of the modern AY movement. Commercially, I have purchased one class, in Atlanta, for $20 for 2 hours. It was by a teacher who was not formally affiliated with the "school", which is really two people in SF. My point it, acro-yoga is far more than a "school", it is a transformational movement within the yoga community that teaches the bliss of physical human contact, trust, and communication. --Comixboy (talk) 04:42, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep -- I move to close this discussion. Keep the article. imho, advertisement style links have been removed, and the article reflects the broader cultural fusion between partner acrobatics and yoga and Thai massage. --71.204.61.67 (talk) 02:14, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
