This is a rare and advanced AcroYoga transition from Foot-to-Foot to Shoulder Stand on Hands. The flyer is gradually lowered from the standing position while folding forward, continuing the rotation until her shoulders arrive securely in the base’s hands.
It is an unusual pathway that requires good control, precise timing, and confidence from both partners. Although rarely seen and certainly challenging, the transition has a beautiful, flowing quality when performed smoothly.
For experienced AcroYoga practitioners looking for something beyond the usual pathways, this transition is well worth exploring.
