Karin Doblander
Karin Doblander has an incredible style when it comes to performing Yoga poses on the slackline, particularly impressive when highlining.
She has developed an extreme precision on mastering poses on the feet, like e.g. the warrior pose. She feels the inner alignment better than anyone else.
 Only by training on her short homeline, she trained the ability to put no shakes into the line. This ability allowed her to send long highlines almost on her very first day of highlining.

SlackFaqs on Karin's Slacklife
When did you start slacklining and how did you discover it?
I started slacklining in 2008 as I saw people practising in the slackline parc in Innsbruck.
Why do you love slacklining so much?
What are your favorite slackline disciplines?
What is your favourite setup (webbing, line length, tension)?
Do you have a permanent rig?
How much do you train?
How do you buddy-check when you highline alone?
Before I get to the anchor point I make sure my pockets are empty.
I check my knots and that my harness is closed ritually in each run at least three times for myself (when binding in, sliding out and before standing up) and generally ask a friend to buddy-check as I hardly ever highline alone.Â
What is your favourite trick on the line?
Do you have any advice to learn that one?
What advice would you give to a slackline beginner?
For bloody beginners:
Balancing is in our nature as human beeings. It’s all there.
It might feel shaky at first on line, as your body’s reflexes are used to perfectly work on solid ground. Take your time to tune in with the line and let your body do what it’s perfectly designed for. Enjoy the process.
For more experienced slackliners:
Use the mean of repetition with utmost care. You integrate what you repeat. Bring deep awareness to your practise. Feel and reflect, what is going on and constantly adjust your approach, rather that just do the same dull thing 100 times. Safes a lot of time and energy 😉
