As a yoga enthusiast, I find it intriguing that there are so many forms of this excellent exercise to participate in. Additionally, as a former gymnast, I appreciate the fact that antigravity yoga and slackline yoga (slackasana) are available. If you don't know what slackline yoga is or want to know more, read on to find out.

What is slackline yoga?

Slackline yoga, also called slacklining, is a great way to improve your balance and muscle tone because you are performing asanas on a thin line (tubula webbing) that is slightly in the air. Many poses are performed in slackline yoga, including the following:

Lotus Pose (Padmasana)

Since the lotus pose is done sitting down, it is a great way to get use to performing slackline yoga. In addition, lotus gives both the ankles and knees a wonderful stretch.

Eagle Pose (Garudasana)

The eagle pose is a great way to increase your balance and concentration, so just imagine how beneficial it is performing it on the tubula webbing. If you want to provide your entire legs and hips with a superior stretch, eagle pose will also accomplish that.

Chair Pose (Utkatasana)

The chair pose is considered a beginner pose when done on the ground, but when done on that thin tubula webbing you can be sure it won't be as easy in the beginning. Additionally, the chair pose is a great way to tone the gluteus maximus (buttock muscles).
