  1. “All acro yoga and it's all Jason Neimer. So Jason Neimer.com, Jason Neimer on Instagram. I try to keep it simple because I like to keep things simple if I can.”

  2. “Acrioga.org is the website, and there are free learning opportunities on Acrioga International is the name of the company that I run, and on YouTube, you can go there and see a bunch of free videos that get you started.”

  3. “Play, play more, play. Yeah, I feel like people are so serious and it doesn't take much for people to drop back into the wisdom of a childlike playfulness. So I think that if I had to prescribe two things to improve health and happiness in the world, it's movement and play, those two things. Because, you know, you can't really play without moving. So they're kind of... Intertwined. But if you're just moving and you're not enjoying yourself as you're moving, if you're on a treadmill, treadmills kill your spirit. I mean, there are reasons and times to do treadmills, but if that is your only way of moving your body, you're selling yourself short. There are way cooler ways to move your body, way more fun things. And I just happen to have the good fortune to learn a lot of these really cool things. And yeah, so play.”

  4. “Competitive with yoga, and yoga teachers are some of the most underpaid people in the planet because they have the potential to really bring a lot of beauty to people's lives. And, you know, they get paid 30 to $100 a class, depending on what city you're in. So if I didn't live in the van, there really weren't a lot of other solutions I saw until the van was liberated, then I saw the other solutions. And living on the road, actually, you know, you're never really successful, at least I haven't been in the cities where you start things. You go further away from where things started and you're more luxurious and more exotic. San Francisco is still a difficult city to fill a room for me. So if I would have kept hitting my head against that wall, I wouldn't be here. The practice wouldn't be here.”

  5. “Well, I made up my resume for restaurants and I was living in San Francisco. We had a rent-controlled house that three yogis were living in because the people that had the rent control left town. And I was like, I was dirtbagging it. But at that point, all I needed was yoga and food. Like I didn't need money. I didn't have other ambitions. I wasn't traveling the world. So if I had enough money to take yoga classes and to eat well, that's all I needed. When I got to that point of do I get a job or do I really dedicate to the yoga thing, it really wasn't a choice. It was such a big thing that happened to my life when yoga really hit me over the head. This is all I want to do. And if I do these other things, I'm not being true to the practices that I've been learning about. Like, this is time for me to really dedicate to this. And my mom had a van and she was, she didn't need it. I'm like, huh, I've never thought I would live in a van, but San Francisco was and still is super.”

  6. “What's not working and really assess what is working and what can I be excited about. It's true. It's not that bad things don't happen to me. I don't label a lot of things good, bad. Can I evolve from this? What do I want now? Where is my center now? And this is all from yoga. Well, not all. My parents, a lot of other things, but yoga is the daily practice that helps me bring this wisdom into action steps in my life.”

  7. “Yeah, well, one of the things that happened to me that was really amazing was I had all of my objects liberated from me. I was living in a van in San Francisco and I had my 30th birthday party. Basically, I didn't want to work in restaurants. It's like, I'm a yogi. I'm going to do this. I don't care how hard it is. I love this. Boom. So I was living in my van. My 30th birthday, my friend throws me a party. And that night I got a book on Buddhism, a case of coconuts, hung out with my friends the next day. My van's gone, my home's gone. Everything is gone. So I go, crack a coconut and start reading about Buddhism because what the fuck else am I going to do? And page four is talking about homelessness and wandering. I'm like, that's what I'm going to do. And that started my nomadic traveling. And if I stayed in San Francisco and tried to make it as a yoga teacher, acro yoga wouldn't be a worldwide practice. So the ability to let go of”

  9. “That you can trust people. You can trust a lot of people, that you don't have to live in fear of strangers. Strangers are just people you haven't flown yet, and I've been all over the world. My mom was not happy when I was going to go to the Middle East for the first time, and I was actually in Boston about to lead a teacher training, and this is when the Boston Marathon bomber happened. And I had 15 students that were on lockdown for 24 hours, and I got on the phone to my mom, like, look, mom, you think Israel's dangerous? I'm in Boston. Like, you cannot hide from danger, but I don't think that's a reason to not trust people. I'm a very trusting person. I've traveled the world in some very sketchy places, and I've never had anything bad happen to me. And I assume the best in people. I assume that I can trust them until they prove me wrong. And I think a lot of people think that's crazy. But when you do this practice enough, trusting is like a muscle that you flex.”

  10. “Yeah, we've already got it. It's the Frisbees for sure. And I was hanging out with my two brothers and my dad. We decided to drive up the coast. And the three brothers, or me and my two brothers, we've played Frisbee golf our whole lives, so we love it. My dad, not so much, but we got a bunch of discs and then we went really high up on highway one and threw them out in the ocean. And my older brother doesn't like us, oh, you're putting plastic in the ocean. But to watch a disc fly for like, you know, about a minute, it's magical. And it's in yoga there's this philosophy swaha. I call it, you know, fuck it, whatever. Let go. So when I throw discs off of, I've thrown it off mashu Picchu. I threw it off Chichinitza. They did not like it in Chichinitza. But I like to throw frisbees off of really high objects. And when I'm in those very ceremonial places like Machu Picchu, it's like, what am I releasing? It's an intentional act.”

  11. “Well, I mean, I think every practice that I do, they are relatable, how well I can listen to you at the podcast, how well I can do any number of things. It's all sensitivity, confidence, clarity, repeatability. So I'm always training and I'm always playing and playing and training. For me, I figured out a way for them to be synonymous. So I don't work harder at things. I do things that I'm passionate about and I love what I do. So everything is related”

  12. “Yeah, you got your nine iron, you got your pitching wedge, and the discs fly differently. First of all, you have to get a repeatable swing before you have any success, just like golf. But once you have a repeatable swing, you can feel the nuance of this one fades left, this one fades right, this one goes straight.”

  13. “Disc golf, yeah. It's not a sport, it's a pastime. I correct people when they get really serious because there are people that have caddies or people that have like for real. Those people think it's a sport. It's a pastime. No matter how hard you work at it, it's a piece of plastic and you're throwing it around. I like this one called the Rock. That's a mid-range disc. It's very even flying. Not super good with distance and the T-bird is my go-to driver.”

So, you know, if you have drugs, we're going to kill you Well, another thing on the customs forum is do you have anything with any pointy objects? And I was like, I really don't want to give them up. So I smuggled in some throwing knives to Bali. I've set it out loud. Dabalinese police might hunt me down.”

So to be able to go to Germany and hang out with Julia and Pascal and their daughter Leah, who I love to death and I've seen the baby since it was in the belly and done acrobatics with them for many, many years, that's really what home is.”

The box is actually from Lebanon because I was born in Mexico, but I have Lebanese heritage. So it's just a lot of momentos that remind me. It's photos as well. I have a photo of Dharmimitra. I have a photo of myself when I was in China competing at World Championships when I was 16. And it just things that feel important to me that keep me grounded.”

Yeah, and it's basically he says he's this guy who is speaking to a crowd and somebody in the crowd will say, speak to us of pain, and he'll say, pain is the blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Speak to me of love. Speak to me of being a father. And there's just, I love really, the hairs are standing up as I think about it. I love really accurate condensed, shakti-filled, energy-filled statements, something that you can read in a few minutes or you can read for your whole life. So the Dao Te Ching would be a close second, and I feel like they have similar things where there's so much energy in each passage that you can sit down and speed read it, but the depth of these ideas and these concepts, that's actually the book that I have on my traveling altar. So all I do is travel. So I have the Tao Te Ching, and oftentimes I'll just”

  22. “And some of his quotes, one of my favorite quotes of his I'm not going to say it right because it's in German, he says, I like to cut wood because I can see the fruits of my labor. It's just a lot of really simple things. Like as much as he was in the stars, he was very pragmatic. And Gandhi, similarly, he didn't see the world in the box that he was born into. And when I see people that really don't take the world as it's being presented and they have a vision of how things can be and just that resolve, I feel like both of them were so committed to their vision and had so much resolve and both of them changed the world in such big ways. So that's a big definition of success for me.”

  23. “I got a tie. Gandhi, super successful, and Einstein. And from very different spectrums of humanity, and they actually met in South America while they were both alive, I would have loved to have been the fly on the wall for that one. What I see in Einstein that I really appreciate is he had all the proof he needed to just keep moving forward with the way that people understood the world. And he basically stopped listening to everybody. He really went inside. He thought about things. He worked them out. He changed the world just from his mind and the ability to be self-reliant, to believe in yourself, and to change the world because of how brilliant you are and how open your mind is. That's a high bar. And I've read more about his life and he writes about love, beauty.”

  24. “For sure. And this is the term hatha yoga. A lot of people hear it. It means sun and moon. Ha is sun, tha is moon. So a lot of the physical practices of yoga is about getting the masculine and the feminine energy to balance. So if you are on either side of the spectrum, we are all on one side or the other unless we're super balanced between strength and flexibility. Some people naturally are more strong, some people naturally are more flexible. Wherever you are as an athlete, as an acrobat, and even as a yogi, my belief is that you want to get towards that 50-50. So somebody like you is not going to expand their acro yoga or their yoga practice as intelligently until you get more mobility. And so being able to put in these therapeutic poses at the end of a practice, it's not just to make your body feel better in that moment. It's to set you up better for your next practice because if you're building”

And then you fly, you're like, oh my God, the sheet is scary or vice versa if you're the flyer and you base a little bit, you're like, why are you so wobbly?

  27. “You have to have a lot of proprioceptive ability and the thing that's unique with Acrioga is you've got two people or three people. So it's also one of my definitions of an advanced practitioner is somebody that can have a success with anybody. And my first master teacher I ever saw is a Bulgarian guy named Demitar Menchev. And he would literally pick up a six-year-old kid, hold him in his hands, chuck him up in the air and do this thing called a dislocate, push him to a high hand to hand, and hold them in a one-arm handstand. And I saw this when I was twelve, thirteen, and I was like, yeah, I want to get that good. And the ability to really support any different person and a lot of dislike.”

  28. “Go in the lab, which is with me and a friend, and just do all these different transitions and then basically try to get a unified field theory of acro yoga basically. So Einstein's one of my heroes, and he worked on this most of the end of his life. He was trying to see how the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, gravity, and electromagnetism were all related. And I feel like something that I want to do with Acro Yoga in my life is to keep pulling out these equations, pulling out these similarities between these seemingly unrelated things that once you crack the code, and this is very Tim Ferris, because you ask the question, once you crack the code, if I can come up with a five minute sequence that has all of these very important basic moves, that's what unlocks the human potential for very complicated flying transitions. So, yeah.”

But basically, the guy that wrote that I think is Ravel, he wrote that to educate people in all the different pieces of the orchestra. So it starts with violin and viola, and it's actually a beautiful song. But I thought, okay, I have to make this sequence that basically strings together every pose that I can think of in Akria Yoga. I want to put Balero in the background. This is a very educational thing. It is going to be beautiful. It's not about the sequence. And basically what I've done is I've made these grids with front plank, reverse front plank, back plank, all of these different things on one column, and then all at the top. And then I cross-reference. What is it like to go from a throne to a reverse front plank? Is it beginner, intermediate, advanced, or an expert, or not possible? So basically what I want to do is”

You've asked me so many seemingly Gentle questions that have rocked my world, and one of them that you asked recently was, is there a sequence that basically puts together all of the important poses in Akrioga?

  33. “So basically, actually, let's stand up for this one. So, the way that humans connect is the hardest part in acrobatics. We have more bones in our hands and feet than the rest of our bodies. So finding all these micro angles, it's like wine. It gets better with age in practice. So if we have a straight arm line, if we go really flat, what that means is it's like we're doing it on the ground and we feel a lot of compression in the wrists. If we go really steep, just like a steep angle, we'll feel it in the thumb girdle and we find that Goldilocks, happy medium, little more flex. Yep, a little flat or good. And we lean into each other and we really feel not only our body as one piece, but our collective arm line is one piece. That's where the money's at.”

  36. “In so many ways, and what happens when you practice akrioga is you still are practicing yoga. You still are doing solo practices and you're understanding where your blockages are. And if you're a big asshole, the community is a self-regulating machine. If there's one person that keeps standing out in the community, they're going to get told from many different people. So we really hold a standard of evolution and the way that we interact with each other gives us the potential to keep evolving in the direction that we want to as a community, which is the counterculture to the iPhones, to the Instagram, to the Facebook. And I think those things are all amazing. I think it's really important that we learn how to use technology in a way that leverages”

  37. “I'm so happy you're going on and on. And for you, when I first met you, I felt that I really hope that you actually step towards the Acro community because I feel like people that are celebrity status, people that are very good at what they do, it's really hard for a lot of those people to really let their guard down and to feel accepted as the human they are versus the titles that they are. So the fact that you're reflecting this means that what we've done to build this community is working because everyone's a freak.”

  38. “I feel just like religion, yoga can get very one-weighed. It's my way or the highway. This is the right way and everything else is wrong. That's challenging to me about some yoga systems and people. I also feel that there's a ceiling on yoga and the ceiling is you have all this amazing knowledge and all this amazing practice, but how are you bringing that into the world? What happens when you're in traffic? How are you with your mom? Do you talk to your mom? Do you tell her the truth? So I feel like Akrioga and acrobatics and other partner practices help to take that wisdom that people spend so long cultivating and they give it life. They give it access.”

And, you know, it's kind of like in the Star Wars Return of the Jedi when you've got the party at the end and you've got Anakin and Obi-Wan and basically all the dead Jedi masters hanging out in spirit. When I see masters together, I swear that's what it seems like to me. These magical spirits are getting together and just celebrating life together.”

And so when I saw this poster, I was like, I have to meet this guy. And when I finally met him, the types of teachings were much more fulfilling and deep than physical poses. It was really philosophies and life, the way that he interacts with the world. I just watch how he eats a salad. He looks at every piece of food before he puts it in his mouth, the mindfulness practice, and the compassion. So, yeah, Dharma Mitra.”

  42. “But the thing that's valuable about yoga masters is they communicate things energetically. This is a saying that comes from Dharmamitra that came from his guru, once blessed is a student that can copy the teacher physically. Twice blessed is a student that can copy them physically and mentally. Three times blessed is a student that can copy them physically, mentally, and spiritually. And there was a day where the Guru was gone and somebody said, when is he coming back? And Dharma said, he started to move as the Guru does and started to speak with the same tone of voice. The Guru will come back on May 31st. Are the 31 days in May?”
