Some of the country's best yogic fliers soared to new heights during a national competition in Iowa this weekend, according to a Local 6 News report.
Yogic flying is an ancient yoga practice that combines yoga and meditation.
More than a dozen people took part in the event, which included long jumps, high jumps and hurdles at the Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield.
Michael Koren is among the best yogic flyers in world. He said the art requires a lot of mental strength.
Researchers believe it promotes the so-called "zone" experience reported by exceptional athletes.
