It may seem impossible at first but in fact it’s quite the contrary, the YogaSlackers approach mimics a yoga class by incorporating whole body movement, as well as breath and “oneness”, rather than being centered around walking.

Having a strong climbing background and yoga foundation Sam Salwei and Jason Magness helped to develop Slackline Yoga, founding YogaSlackers in 2005. Little did they know that they would start a new sport!
