There is a style of yoga that I have heard being referred to as 'flying'. It involves two people, and one lifts the other completely off the ground so that the second person can practice without being encumbered by a floor beneath them. I think a fairly typical method of doing this involves the first person lying on their back with their feet straight up, and the other person would then put the grounded person's feet above their pelvis and gradually bring all their weight upon the grounded person's feet.

I've only done this style once, it was a great experience. I found it to be very much a team effort between me and my partner, we had to work to maintain balance from both positions. Very different from what I have experienced in regular yoga classes.

No, this is something different -- Maharishi Mahesh Yogi horseshit in which it is claimed that the yogi will develop the power to fly, Superman style.

Except the most anyone has managed to achieve is lotus-position hopping.
