Fundamentals
Acrobatic Yoga (also often known as a subset of Acrobalance) involves partner assisted acrobatic movements usually with one partner lying on their back on the floor and the other partner elevated off the ground performing a range of balances, stretches, rotations and aerial movements.
History
This style of acrobatics is an evolving sport. It has been practiced in many guises and forms over the years and overlaps a number of diversified sports and schools – and that’s the fun of it! Most people with a reasonable level of fitness will enjoy the challenges of this practice.
