If the idea of being held up in the air by a fellow student is intimidating or the thought of supporting another human being as they seek to find balance off the ground makes you queasy, you’re in good company. Before taking their first class, many students question if they’re strong enough, flexible enough, or otherwise fit enough for AcroYoga.

What outweighs the uncertainty however is the intrigue that this yoga style brings.
