00:00Hi, my name's Alyse.

00:06My name's Hannah.

00:07And today we're going to be trying acroyoga.

00:08Hey guys, my name's John.

00:09I'm Kaya.

00:10And we're acrobatic partners.

00:11I think of acroyoga as a form of yoga that is balancing two bodies.

00:19It can move just from balancing bodies into sharing each other's weight and counterbalancing

00:25and finding ground together.

00:28It's such a playful practice and it steps you out of your comfort zone.

00:34Let's do it.

00:35Yes.

00:36Okay.

00:37So we're going to start them off with a basic little fun exercise.

00:39It's called driver and car.

00:40Do you trust me?

00:41I trust you.

00:42That was a good way to like prepare us for what came next.

00:45And squat at the same time, right?

00:47Nice.

00:48And then you guys can come all the way back up.

00:50Next we moved on to putting more weight into it.

00:54Nice.

00:55Okay.

00:56So we're going to get into the next pose.

00:58This is called bird.

00:59I scoop, once again, bring her over and then I find my extension with my legs.

01:04It always felt like a little shaky initially.

01:07And then now extend your legs all the way up.

01:10Good.

01:11But then I felt like when we sort of got into the right position, it felt pretty secure.

01:15Yeah.

01:16When I was the base, I didn't realize that I...

01:18You were holding all of me?

01:19Yeah.

01:20I didn't realize that.

01:21Yeah.

01:22I'm impressed with myself.

01:23Yeah.

01:25This pose is called tie flying well.

01:28I liked that one a lot.

01:29I felt pretty like sturdy and comfortable just like lying back.

01:33I felt like you had a good grip of me.

01:35It felt like I was getting a stretch that I couldn't necessarily get if I was on the

01:38ground myself.

01:39Totally.

01:40There we go.

01:41We got one more pose for you guys.

01:44This one's called chair.

01:47Sit down into that.

01:48Good.

01:49And then I push the legs away from you and get your back on the ground.

01:51Good.

01:52Now push those legs and stack up those legs.

01:54You could kind of get a view of the other person.

01:56You're like, hey.

01:57Yeah.

01:58I've never seen you from that angle.

01:59That angle, yeah.

02:00Right there.

02:01Ah!

02:02And then let go of the ankles.

02:03Look at what we can do with our bodies.

02:04We can do a chair.

02:05A human chair.

02:06Yeah.

02:07Yeah.

02:08Who needs furniture?

02:09You don't need it.

02:10You've got a friend.

02:11A friend is a chair.

02:12A friend is a gym.

02:13So at the end, I did a sequence with Jonathan, and it was like an out of body experience.

02:18I have no idea what it looked like, but it felt like I was swimming in the air.

02:25I just let go of my fear of falling, because I knew that he was going to be there to catch

02:30me.

02:31The next thing, I'm flying in the air.

02:34Working with Jonathan was really amazing, and watching Jonathan and Kaya work together

02:39was super inspirational.

02:40They made it look so easy and effortless.

02:42It was super inspiring.

02:43I don't know exactly what we looked like, but we tried, and I feel like that's the first

02:54step.

02:55We gave it a shot.

02:56Yeah, you just go for it, and just trust that you can do it.

02:59You'll be surprised on what you can do.
