Summer is here, and it's the perfect time to embrace the sunshine and elevate your fitness game! At Acro Enso, we believe in a holistic approach to movement and well-being. Whether you're into acrobatics, aerial arts, yoga, or dance, our vibrant community in Reno has something for everyone. Here are our top summer health and fitness tips to keep you moving, grooving, and feeling fantastic all season long.

1. Hydration is Key
As temperatures rise, staying hydrated is more crucial than ever. Water is your best friend when it comes to maintaining energy levels and keeping your body functioning at its best. Aim for at least eight glasses a day, and don't forget to bring a reusable water bottle to your classes at Acro Enso. Infuse your water with slices of lemon, cucumber, or mint for a refreshing twist!

2. Embrace the Outdoors
Summer is the ideal time to take your workout outside. Whether it's a yoga session in the park, a dance routine on the beach, or a morning run along the Truckee River, fresh air and natural light can boost your mood and enhance your workout. At Acro Enso, we encourage you to integrate outdoor activities with our indoor classes for a well-rounded fitness routine.

3. Try Something New
Variety is the spice of life, and it's also a great way to stay motivated. This summer, challenge yourself to try a new class at Acro Enso. From the graceful aerial silks to the dynamic Cyr wheel, there's always something exciting to explore. Not only will you work different muscle groups, but you'll also keep your mind engaged and your fitness journey fresh.

4. Prioritize Recovery
With all the fun and activity, it's easy to forget the importance of rest. Recovery is essential for preventing injuries and improving performance. Incorporate restorative practices like yoga and meditation into your routine. Our classes at Acro Enso are designed to help you balance intense workouts with mindful recovery, ensuring you stay healthy and strong.

5. Eat Seasonal and Nutrient-Rich Foods
Summer brings a bounty of delicious, fresh produce. Load up on seasonal fruits and vegetables like berries, watermelon, tomatoes, and leafy greens. These foods are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support your health and energy levels. Pair your meals with lean proteins and healthy fats for a balanced diet that fuels your active lifestyle.

6. Set Realistic Goals
Setting achievable fitness goals is a great way to stay motivated and track your progress. Whether you're aiming to master a new skill in acrobatics or increase your flexibility in yoga, having clear objectives can keep you focused. Celebrate your milestones, no matter how small, and remember that consistency is key.

7. Stay Connected
Join our community at Acro Enso and stay connected with like-minded individuals who share your passion for movement. Engaging with others can provide support, inspiration, and accountability. Attend our workshops, participate in group classes, and consider signing up for private sessions to get personalized guidance and achieve your fitness goals faster.

8. Protect Your Skin
Don't forget to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 before heading outdoors, even if you're planning a short workout. Reapply every two hours, especially if you're sweating or swimming. Wearing a hat and sunglasses can also provide extra protection.

9. Listen to Your Body
Your body is an incredible communicator. Pay attention to how you feel during and after workouts. If you're experiencing pain or discomfort, it might be a sign to take a break or adjust your routine. At Acro Enso, our instructors are always here to help you modify exercises and ensure you're training safely.

10. Have Fun!
Above all, remember to have fun! Summer is a time for enjoyment and celebration. Let your fitness routine be a source of joy and exploration. Whether you're perfecting your acro skills, dancing your heart out, or finding peace in a yoga pose, savor every moment of your journey.

At Acro Enso, we're committed to helping you thrive this summer and beyond. Join us for a class, workshop, or event and discover the joy of movement in our welcoming community. Stay active, stay healthy, and most importantly, stay happy!

If you’re a parent with young children who love fun activities, then you probably know what it’s like to be a personal taxi driver for your kids, rushing them from one hobby to the next after your day job is done. Once you’ve completed your fare and accepted that there is no tip for your service you must decide how to pass the time while your little ones complete their martial arts lesson or dance class. Many places require parental presence for these 30 minute to hour long classes; however, if this isn’t the case, you most likely wait around anyways because of how small this window of time is.  Once they’ve finished, you hustle home to begin their school night routines, then you’re off to bed to do it all over again in the morning.

If this description fits you, then you probably know how difficult it is to find time in your tight schedule for the hobbies you enjoy. Even on the off days when your kids don’t have anywhere to be, you’ll need to find a babysitter before you’re able to take that yoga class you like or that jazz class you’ve always wanted to try. At Acro Enso, we understand the demanding schedules of parents and we empathize with their struggle to find time for fun. We believe parents deserve to play just as much their kids do. This is why, at Acro Enso, we’re creating a family focused program that benefits both parents and their kids.

You won’t need to sit around while your child attends one of our dance or acrobatic classes because you’ll have the opportunity to join one of our many adult classes that run concurrently alongside your kid’s class. If a class setting isn’t your cup tea, then you might enjoy our open play hours where you could spend time having fun with your entire family or you could take advantage of our supervised playtime while you work out in our fitness area or enjoy an independent passion like cyr wheel. Once we’ve opened our doors Acro Enso will be a place for the entire family to enjoy.

Acro Enso.

Hello friends! This week, Acro Enso would like to share an important topic that is central to the heart of our vision: the reason behind our decision to focus on collaboration instead of competition. Unlike many gymnastic/dance studios, Acro Enso will not be offering or hosting competitive teams or events. We believe that removing the competitive element from our program will allow you, the individual, to practice a more connected form of movement motivated by genuine intention and interpretive creativity, rather than the desire to win.

What is Your Intention?
Why do you do the things that move you? Is it to prove something to somebody? Is it to win? Is it to be the best? Of course not! You do the things you love because they are fun, and they connect you to yourself and to the world around you. This is the message we aim to share with every person who walks through our doors; and specifically, to the youth who join our program. Our intention is to show what movement looks like when it comes from a place of passion. Instead of competitive teams, Acro Enso will be offering performance groups for both children and adults in which individuals can come together, collaborate, and enjoy a shared passion. Instead of competitions, Acro Enso will be offering events such as festivals, jams, and open stage nights for any and all artists who feel inspired to share their work. At Acro Enso our focus is to connect and collaborate instead of compete.

Freedom From the Box.
In order to liberate movement for the art form that it is, we aim to remove the box that competition implicitly places on interpretive creativity. Our good friend, Jason Craig, is an amazing movement artist in his own right. His paint brush is his kayak, and he has participated successfully in competitive freestyle play-boating for a large part of his life. Jason has shared with us how he developed a new, unique, and incredibly cool trick in his play-boat, but was unable to score points during competition with his signature maneuver because it was not a ‘recognized skill’. In essence, he was prohibited from fully exploring his art form due to arbitrary competitive restrictions. At Acro Enso, we believe that shifting the focus from competition to collaboration will provide freedom from the competitive box and allow people to explore their passion with confidence and support.

We hope this blog helps provide you with a better understanding of our values here at Acro Enso. If you’d like to learn more, check out our website and visit our other blogs. Have great a great week!
