Learning the Poses

The core of the session involves learning basic static poses such as bird, throne, and whale, along with transitions like washing machines. These are beginner-friendly but also offer a chance to refine your balance and coordination. The instructor provides clear guidance, and the small group size means plenty of opportunities to ask questions and get help.

Practice and Partner Work

Acroyoga is inherently about trust and teamwork, so you’ll be practicing with a partner—sometimes your fellow participant, sometimes the instructor if needed. The environment encourages a supportive vibe, which many reviews highlight as a key plus. Even if you’re shy about trying new things, the relaxed atmosphere helps you gain confidence.

Cool-down and Thai Massage

The session winds down with calming stretches, easing any tension built up during the practice. Many find this part particularly relaxing, with some sessions offering a soothing Thai massage as a bonus. It’s a thoughtful touch that leaves you feeling refreshed and a bit pampered.

The Experience: What We Loved

The Setting and Views

Practicing outdoors in Chapultepec Park is a genuine treat. The natural surroundings—trees, water, and open sky—create a peaceful backdrop that enhances the experience. Many reviews mention the stunning views of the park, which elevate what could otherwise be just a standard fitness class.

Knowledgeable and Friendly Guides

The instructor’s bilingual ability (Spanish and English) means clearer communication and a more inclusive atmosphere. Reviewers consistently praise the guides for their patience, clarity, and supportive attitude, making the whole class approachable even for complete beginners.

Focus on Fundamentals

We really appreciated how the class emphasizes building trust and teamwork—key elements for both acroyoga and personal growth. The poses are well explained, and the transitions are manageable, so you’re unlikely to feel overwhelmed.

The Downsides and Considerations

While the class offers a lot of value, it’s worth noting that 1.5 hours isn’t a long time for a full workout or deep practice. If you’re craving more advanced poses or an intense session, you might find it somewhat limited. Plus, since the class is outdoors, weather conditions could affect your experience—on a very hot or rainy day, it might be less comfortable.

The price of $22 is reasonable, but it’s important to consider that transportation isn’t included. If you’re staying far from the park, you’ll need to factor in your commute. The group size is limited to six, which is great for intimacy but means you should reserve ahead to secure a spot.

Who Is This Tour Best For?

This class is perfect for beginners or those curious about acroyoga, wanting a gentle yet engaging activity in a scenic setting. It’s also ideal if you’re traveling with someone who enjoys yoga or outdoor fitness. If you’re looking for an intense workout or a deep dive into acro techniques, this short session might not satisfy that craving.

Travelers who appreciate small-group experiences and personalized guidance will find this class appealing. It’s especially suited to those who enjoy combining physical activity with beautiful surroundings and a relaxed vibe.

Final Thoughts

For just $22, this Acroyoga class offers a great way to start your day in Mexico City—getting your body moving, soaking in the park’s beauty, and learning new skills in a friendly environment. The instructors are knowledgeable, the setting is lovely, and the session strikes a nice balance between fun and fitness.

While it might not be a long, intense workout, it’s a meaningful introduction to acroyoga that can leave you feeling energized and refreshed. It’s an especially good choice if you’re traveling light on time but want a memorable, active moment in the city’s largest park.

This experience is best suited for travelers looking for a relaxed, engaging outdoor activity that combines wellness and cultural charm. It’s a good fit whether you’re solo, with a partner, or even with a friend eager to try something new.
