I met Mandy and Ria at the Detroit Fly House this morning for our first aerial yoga class. We climbed and hung on fabric, rope and a trapeze. Talk about stepping out of the box! It felt so good to make my body work again. I haven’t taken any sort of class since high school and now I can’t wait to go back. I need to work on my flexibility though, so I’m going to take a few of their yoga classes and some pull-ups are in order since I could barely swing up onto the trapeze.
I got to climb almost to the ceiling on the fabric!
This is Micha telling me to let go with both hands and me going “what?!”
Ria getting ready to do the trick she’s doing on the rope in the next photo.
Look at all the orbs in these pictures! This place was loaded with ghosties!
Mandy having the same “You want me to let go?!” reaction.
I can’t wait to go back next week, though my arms still aren’t functioning properly,
so it’s a good thing I have a week to recover.
In other news, I’ve been listening to Paramore’s Brand New Eyes all day (I think it’s finally growing on me), I watched Michael Clayton while stretching after class, and my sinuses are doing something very bad, so I’m glad I have tomorrow off to get better.

That looks sooo fun! I think I’d be too scared to do any cool tricks but I’d love to just swing around for a little while. :)
WOW that looks like so much fun!
ok, this looks ridiculously fun.
i wonder if there is something like this in cleveland that i can try?
How fun! Though I’ll stick to my yoga on the mat for now I think ;-)
Can’t wait to meet you on Saturday!
This looks like such a great workout!
Confession: so glad I couldn’t afford that class with you ladies because there is NO way I’d be half as good as you folks. Amazing that you all get already floating on the first day. Go you!
ps- I must say that I’m jealous though. HeHe.
OMG this looks amazing. I would probably kill myself though haha
Wow, that looks so cool! Unfortunately, I doubt there’s something like this in my country, but it looks great – I want to try it!!
Whoa that looks incredible!
This is so cool. And so weird. At the same time.
I would probably fall off.
That looks like so much fun, kind of makes me want to learn to do something like that.
i thought the same thing when i saw those orbs because they aren’t on every picture. hopefully it’s ghosties and not something wrong with my lens ;)
this was tons of fun, i’m glad i’m doing it with you girls :)
Aw! That looks like LOADS of fun. I am so jealous that you got to hang out with Ria – she’s all sorts of amazing. ;)
p.s. it was awesome meeting you today! :D
this was so out of the box and fun, i can’t wait for next week. i’m also curious to see what regular yoga will be like on wednesday. micha was amazing, i love her already.
until then, splits and pull ups, splits and pull ups, splits and pull ups… :)
