Astavakrasana, or Eight Angle Pose

"My first thought when I walked into an AcroYoga(r) class five years ago was 'what the %$#@!' I felt very intimidated. Even though I was a certified yoga instructor, I didn't know if I was strong enough to hang with this group of people. Three hours later, I felt so invigorated that I signed up to take the intensive AcroYoga(r) training courses. Now I can balance a 240-pound man on my feet!"
