Acroyoga

“As a pretty flexible Baptiste/Vinyasa/Ashtanga/I'll try anything once-enthusiast when it comes to yoga, I consider myself to be relatively ahead of the curve. But full-body entanglements with relative strangers seemed like the final frontier—one maybe best accessed after an ayahuasca ceremony, or, you know, in another life. [...] So it was with certain hesitance, but ultimately, utter relaxation that I offered my form into the feet of Ben-Reuven, who gently peddled them against my hip flexors, and then bent me upside down into a pose called “folded leaf.” [...] Ultimately, the practice is founded on physics—and I can vouch that the instability of balancing on an uneven surface (someone’s feet!) and the core-strength required by the poses, which will leave you with a gradual burn akin to a Vinyasa class.”
