Acroyoga

Acroyoga
This was quite a scene!  I met Kylie last week while she was practicing acroyoga -- acrobatic yoga -- with her partner J.R. on Sarasota Bay. (I must confess, until we met, I didn't know acroyoga is a thing.) I can't imagine the strength, dexterity, and balance required to do this!  Kylie supported herself on J.R.'s hands and just the toes of one foot.... 

Acroyoga
And, she gracefully maneuvered into a shoulder stand of sorts by balancing her shoulders on J.R's feet.  Very cool!  What was especially amazing is how easy they made these physically demanding poses look.  I bumped up the shadowing on this shot to offer a better look at this pose.  Pretty amazing! What a fun, chance encounter meeting them during that spectacular sunset (which somehow didn't seem to distract them). Good time...great timing!

Oh!!! This is so beautiful, and outstanding ( lost for a lots better word) photography. The settings, your shadowing, and the angle you took the shot. Talented couple, and if they see these photos, will be so amazed at how they look in silhouette. Wow, wow, WOW !!!

What fantastic photos of these fantastic acrobatic/yogaic people! I can't say enough good about them...with that sunset in the background. Somewhere you could sell these for big bucks!

Great shots!

That's more than amazing. Yoga can be strenuous enough without adding in all the moves they're doing. It's really beautiful, as are your shots. And then throw in that sunset...phew!
