What’s New – 6/6/26
We’ve been busy. Over the past few weeks the library has picked up a set of features that make it significantly easier to find, watch, and contribute to the collection. Here’s what’s changed.
Watch Videos Right Here — No Tab Switching
The biggest change: clicking any video thumbnail now opens it directly on the page in a large embedded player. The video starts automatically, muted, so you can browse without blasting your speakers.
The player fills nearly the full screen width so you can actually see what’s happening — whether it’s a complex washing machine sequence or a group performance. Press Escape, click anywhere outside the player, or hit the × button to close it and continue browsing.
On mobile, tapping a thumbnail opens the video in the YouTube app instead, which gives you the best experience on a small screen.
Individual Video Pages
Every video in the library now has its own dedicated page with a clean, distraction-free layout — embedded player, full title and description, level and category tags, channel link, and star rating.
These pages are also indexed by Google, which means individual videos are now searchable directly from search engines. If you search for a specific AcroYoga move or sequence, you may start finding results that link straight to the video page.
Star Ratings — Rate From Anywhere
You can now rate videos from three places: the card in the main library, the lightbox player, and the individual video page. Click the stars to submit your rating — it’s recorded instantly and averaged with everyone else’s.
Use the ★ Top Rated button to sort the entire library by community rating, highest first. It’s the fastest way to find what the community considers the best content.
Most Recent Videos
A 📅 Most Recent button now appears next to Top Rated. Click it to see the newest additions to the library sorted to the top. Videos added within the last seven days also show a small “Added Jun X” label at the bottom of their card so you can spot new content at a glance while browsing normally.
Better Browsing — Text View With Tooltips
The Text view mode (top right of the library) packs videos into a dense three-column list — useful when you want to scan a large number of results quickly. Hover over any title and a popup shows the full title, description, level, and channel. It’s the fastest way to browse when you know roughly what you’re looking for.
Updated Categories
The category list has been cleaned up and simplified. The new definitive list:
Ted Talks, Conveyer Belts, Counterbalances & Supine, Dancelifts, Flashmobs, Group, Icarian & Whips, L-Base Flow, Misc, Performances, Reciprocals, Rolling Sequences, Static Poses, Uncategorizable, Washing Machines.
The old overlapping group categories have been consolidated. If you notice a video tagged incorrectly, use the Editbutton on the card (registered users only) to fix it — changes go live immediately.
Submit Videos and Help the Community
The library grows through community contributions. If you know a great AcroYoga video that isn’t in the collection, submit it from the Submit a Video page in the navigation. It goes into a review queue and, once approved, joins the library immediately.
No technical experience required. Every submission helps the community find better content.
More improvements are in the works. If you have a suggestion — a missing category, a feature you’d like to see, or a channel that deserves more coverage — let us know.
