This beginner sequence starts from a Straddle Throne, transitions through a Z-Throne, and flips the flyer into a Reverse Straddle Throne. The way back follows the same path: first the Z-Throne, then returning to the Straddle Throne. It’s a beginner sequence. I’m not breaking it down into separate transitions because this video provides the best explanation of the transition itself—it’s worth studying.
Feel the flow: In this AcroYoga tutorial for beginners, we show you the throne rotation – a nice balance exercise for base and flyer.
