Berkshire Yoga Festival 2024

Step into the realm of intermediate slacklining with a workshop designed for those ready to expand their horizons beyond the basics. As your practice matures, you may find yourself drawn to the challenges and thrills of walking longlines, highlines, and waterlines. These disciplines share a common trait: the journey begins away from the security of the ground and requires you to move from a seated position into standing without using the ground. 

In this intermediate-level workshop, we will guide you through various mounts, empowering you to start your walk on these lines with confidence and grace. Mastering the skill of entering a slackline without using ground is not just a technical achievement; it's a gateway to a whole new spectrum of poses and line practices. This pivotal skill enriches your slackline yoga journey, opening doors to previously unexplored dimensions.

Prerequisites for this transformative experience include previous participation in any of our Slackline Yoga classes or the ability to stand and/or kneel on a slackline for at least 15 seconds. This foundational knowledge ensures that you're ready to safely and effectively advance further in your slacklining.

"Slackline Yoga: Starting the Long Walk" is more than a skill-building workshop; it's a metaphor for stepping into the unknown with courage and mindfulness. Join us as we explore the art of the long walk, where each step is a blend of balance, focus, and inner strength, mirroring the deeper journey of our yoga practice.

Embark on a transformative journey with Slackline Yoga, a practice that redefines your sense of balance and mental focus. Often referred to as Slackasana, this unique discipline combines the physicality of yoga with the meditative focus of balancing on a 1-inch wide 'yoga mat' - the slackline. Experience a moving meditation that engages your complete body awareness, taking your yoga practice to a new level of mindfulness and equilibrium.

In this 90-minute 'Slackshop,' we will explore the foundational elements of the Slackasana series. The class is designed to cater to all skill levels, offering a supportive and inclusive environment for everyone from beginners to seasoned practitioners. You will learn the basics, including kneeling, sitting, standing, an arm balance and an inversion. Yes, you read correctly! 

Slackline Yoga is not just for yogis; it's for everyone - climbers, couch potatoes, athletes, and anyone seeking a new form of physical and mental discipline. It's an invitation to take your yoga practice off the traditional mat and into a space where balance meets meditation.

No previous experience with slacklining or yoga is necessary. Come join us in this engaging and enlightening Slackshop, where every step on the line is a step towards greater mindfulness and poise.
