Aerial Yoga Week 7
This week I amazed myself by swinging up onto the high trapeze without a boost. I then did 30-something crunches hanging by my knees from the trapeze, which left me with fist-size bruises behind my knees.
It was another review session so we did lots and lots of tricks. I was able to get the foot lock in the air, which means I can do tricks higher off the ground. I’m finding that working on my pull-up bar and doing crunches helps a lot. I can hold myself up a little longer and do tricks with more ease each week.
One more class in this session and then two weeks of before the second session starts! My goal for next session is to perfect my mid-air foot lock, be able to get on the trapeze every time, and do the dreaded half cross on the high trapeze without wanting to pee my pants.
I spent Saturday at my parents house celebrating my dad’s birthday. My mom bought Just Dance for Wii and made everyone take a turn. It was so much fun – I really worked up a sweat and my arms were sore the next day. I also went car shopping with my dad. I drove a Scion XD and looooved it! No competition with the Fit or Versa. As soon as I pulled onto the road I knew it was the one. I made a down payment today and as soon as I get my tax refund it’s alllll mine!

lol matt is looking at your skillz again this week. i think they are going to recruit you :)
Ria – I don’t know about that. He looks a little scared this week hahah
You look so beautiful doing this. I hope I am half as good as you. I don’t think I will be but I’m going to try. Must start trying to do chin ups and crunches (I’m slacking). CAN’T WAIT TO START!!! :)
You are amazing! Seriously, I could never do that and look like that! If I tried, I’d probably get myself in a knot somehow and have to have someone cut me down…
i get more and more jealous every week. this looks like so much fun :) i’ve started searching for classes in DC/MD just to check it out for myself
keep up the amazing work!
I still think this aerial yoga stuff is amazin’. Is it more expensive than regular yoga? I’ve never even heard of it before I saw it on your blog! Also, I LOVE WII DANCE IT!! My girlfriends and I play it every Monday night when we get together & watch our girly tv shows haha. Total workout for sure.
Liz – That sounds like so much fun!! I’ve only taken free yoga classes, so I’m not sure how expensive they are. This class is $160 for 8 weeks.
I also intend to learn how to spell the word aerial =p
This is SO cool! I would love to do areal work, but I don’t think anyone here goes it. So jealous, you look great up there! =)
