“"Giving is proof of having."”
What makes a healing experience feel like both deep therapy and the best party you've ever been to? In this conversation, Christina Weber sits down with Acro Yoga co-founder Jason Nemer to talk somatic healing, radical play, and his ultra-selective event known as The Body Party. You’ll hear Jason share how Acro Yoga grew from park experiments in San Francisco into a global practice built on movement, connection and play.
He reflects on how the scene has become more advanced and flashy over time, and why he’s stepping "out of retirement" to bring back beginner-friendly, community-focused teaching in Austin. The heart of the episode is The Body Party: a 24- or 48-hour immersive experience with a 1:1 ratio of guests to elite bodywork practitioners, starting at $5,000.
Christina describes it as one of the peak experiences of her life, filled with Watsu in 97-degree water, aerial cocoon sessions, Acro Yoga therapeutics and near-constant massage. Jason explains why he’s fiercely protective of the container, emphasising emotional and physical safety, especially for people working through childhood and sexual trauma.
There’s plenty of humour too: from "love at first fart" with his partner Dina, to prank calls and poo stories, to the moment a guest’s uncontrollable laughter convinced him that "Body Party" really was the right name. Underneath the jokes sits a serious commitment to healing through joy, ritual and high-quality touch.
If you’re curious about how somatic work, play and intimacy rituals can shift long-held patterns in the body and relationships, this episode offers a rare look inside a highly curated, high-investment healing playground. Could deep care, great music and a room full of body magicians be the reset your nervous system has been craving?
