Have you guys heard of Yoga Slackers?

They're this awesome group of yogis and yoginis who balance on each other, walk slacklines and do yoga while poised on top of them, and travel the world teaching workshops.

As they say on their website, Slackline yoga (or slackasana) has been described as "distilling the art of yogic concentration." To balance on a 1-inch piece of webbing lightly tensioned between two trees is not easy, and doing yoga poses on it is even more challenging. Yet despite the seemingly impossible nature of the act, it is achievable by almost anyone with a little bit of perseverance and patience.

AcroYoga, on the other hand, is a partner yoga which blends the spiritual wisdom of yoga, the loving kindness of Thai massage, and the dynamic power of Acrobatics. These three ancient lineages form the foundation of a unique new practice that cultivates trust, connection and playfulness.

I find this group incredibly inspiring. Even just checking out their photos brings a smile to my face. Their videos on YouTube show off their incredible balancing, flexibility and awareness practices.

Yoga Slackers truly live up to their standard of extreme living with awareness, and what's more, these teachers seem to do so with an attitude of positive energy no matter what they're doing.
