Learn to walk on a slackline with Alexander Baker! Slackline is a fantastic way to find balance in both body and mind. For many, it is a way to let go of worries and focus on just one thing - not losing balance. Alexander discovered the charm of slackline through rock climbing in extreme environments and has since instructed people from 4 to 70 years old, and everyone who has tried has been equally captivated. The desire to continue arises immediately when the challenge begins.
