Acroyoga takes the spotlight at Alo's first PH store opening in Makati

Yogis, it's time to level up your athleisure game! Alo Yoga, the cult-favorite activewear brand from the United States, has officially opened its first store in the Philippines, located at Greenbelt 5 in Makati City. At the media launch, Filipina yoga instructor Anna Manalastas and partner yoga coach Eugene Butcher performed a dynamic Acroyoga demonstration: a partner-based practice that blends yoga and acrobatics, similar to the routines previously showcased by celebrity couple Ellen Adarna and Derek Ramsay. It focuses on balance, trust, communication, and core strength. In a GMA News Online interview, Anna explained Acroyoga is a "wonderful, strong practice where a lot of trust has to be established between the two partners." "I think it's very interesting because you have to really listen to your partner," she said. "You have to kind of feel each other and understand what the cues are from the other person so that you can come into a very beautiful harmony [of movement]," she added. Talking about Alo opening its first store in the Philippines, the yoga teacher said it's a wonderful opportunity "for a lot of people to feel included in the global community of health and wellness." Founded in 2007, Alo Yoga is best known for its minimalist designs, performance-ready fabrics, and a strong presence in the global wellness community. At the Makati store, expect to find a wide range of yoga and lifestyle wear, with prices ranging from P3,500 to P10,000. — LA, GMA Integrated News Alo Yoga, 1/F Greenbelt 5 in Makati City.
