Amazing AcroYoga Photos You Have to See to Believe

Have you heard of AcroYoga?

This partner-style form of yoga is not exactly new — it’s been around since the early 2000s, invented by a former Olympic gymnast and a former dancer. It’s a mixture of yoga and acrobatics, and requires both strength and a sense of partnership with the person you’re balancing on top of (or who you’re trying not to drop).

But thanks to Instagram, it's growing in popularity — and the less AcroYoga-inclined are able to see practitioners in action. Check out the slideshow for some of our favorite photo finds — gaze in awe, and then let them provide you with inspiration to achieve your own acrobatic feats.
