The easy way to describe slacklining is to say that it is like tight-rope walking, and this is often the simplest way to make someone understand it. In truth it is quite different. Slackliners walk on a piece of 1” flat tubular webbing (the kind that rock climbers use) tensioned between two solid anchor points. The webbing is very dynamic, so it stretches a bit. Tight-ropes are much less dynamic, stiffer and a bit wider. We at YogaSlackers have developed a style of yoga that can be practiced on the line and although it is very difficult at first, the rewards are incredible! We truly believe that anyone can learn slacklining and begin to unlock their balance potential!

We teach yoga and yoga slacklining workshops around the country, and also offer an instructional DVD entitled YogaSlackers - Slackasana. To see a preview, click here: Slackasana Trailer
