Our Guiding Principles

Touching the Sky is more than a film—it’s a movement to spark connection, belonging, and radical inclusion through the shared language of AcroYoga. In a world often defined by division, we create spaces where people of all backgrounds, regardless of ability, gender, race, religion, politics, or socioeconomic status, can come together in trust and play. Grounded in mutual respect and enthusiastic consent, our work invites people to experience the joy of being held, the freedom to fall and rise again, and the possibility of finding common ground even when we don’t see eye to eye. Because even in our differences, we can still laugh, and lift each other up.

FAQs

  • Tim Hedberg, Chris Jeckel, Andrea Hedberg, and a talented team of volunteers. Read more about our team here.

  • After filming a mini documentary about the importance of accessibility for Amazon Alexa, Tim and Chris realized there were more stories to tell about physical and mental transformation in the greater acro community.

  • We posted on acro pages and reached out to our networks to source unique stories. After dozens of interviews, we landed on four stories of diverse backgrounds and skill levels.

  • “Acro” is a broad term that encompasses many different forms of recreational acrobatics, including acroyoga, acro dance, adagio acro, and partner acrobatics. Our film follows a group of diverse characters and unpacks this definition as we learn more about each character’s story.

  • The Acro Documentary Team is truly humbled by all of the ongoing support we have and continue to receive from our donor network.

    In addition to these donations, Tim and Chris are paying out of pocket to help launch this project. We wouldn’t have made it this far without the support from our donors, friends and volunteers in the film and acro communities.
