Aerial Yoga: Week 5

February 14, 2010

Today we learned a new climb where you sort of hook your leg and go upside down. I completely surprised myself and hooked my leg on the first try! It’s something I’ve been struggling to do the past couple weeks. I think all the crunches really helped. The above pose is candy cane leg, which I couldn’t quite get last week, but held on long enough to wrap my leg this week.

This the dolphin into the catchers mitt (I think that’s what it’s called). Instead of sitting on the bar you go up backwards so you’re on your belly. We were supposed to let go and balance, but I couldn’t get the bar in the right spot to do it.

Then fall forward and catch the ropes with your legs. I’m going to have some wicked bruises on my hips from trying to balance on that damn bar!
