Acro-Yoga

The first time I ever got wind of such a thing was through Teresa Chian, founder of Living Arts Dance Studio and fellow performer for the recent match. That's her on top:As its title suggests, Acro-Yoga is a fusion of yoga and acrobatics, but isn't quite as challenging as it sounds. In fact, it's amazingly easy to start and let me tell you that once you start, it gets addictive.

A big part of the fun of it is that it involves partner-work, which doubles the enjoyment (and you can even get more people involved to form some amazing shapes!). The founders of the movement (for lack of a better term) also incorporate Thai massage into it, which makes the whole thing very healing-based. Also, they've designed sets of poses that flow into one another which means that you can both work together to 'yoga' together-gether (imagine the sun salutation, but with a partner).There are more pictures of stuff we've done in Acro-Yoga in my Facebook, but I still daren't log in so take a look if you've time. If you're up for it, I highly recommend it - go see Teresa, I believe that she's the only one doing it in Malaysia. If you're elsewhere, look up the website.
