A common misconception in Acroyoga is that it’s “way easier” to be the ‘base’—the one physically holding up the other in Acroyoga positions. This is simply not true, because the flyer and the base are equally important and both play important roles for the practice to work.

Aptly titled “Connections”, this beautifully shot Acroyoga demo video shows how much more fluid and seamless the movements become when there is complete trust and connection between the two yogis.

Whether you’re a long-time Acroyoga practitioner or simply curious to try it out, this Acroyoga demo is a lovely inspiration and reminder of the beauty of this practice. Hit play above and be inspired.
