Aerial Yoga: Session 4, Class 5
September 2, 2010 | No Comments
Irina and I doing leg presses. Everyone looked so silly doing it, I was laughing the entire time. I can’t remember what this trick is called, but it makes me think of Houdini and it hurt a lot! You pretty much drop from standing or squatting and hang from your ankles. I have bruises around b [...]Tags: aerial yoga
Aerial Yoga: Session 4, Class 4
[ Corkscrew] Sunday in circus class I got to work on my routine for the student showcase. I was getting nervous because I didn’t have anything figured out, but Alison helped me put some tricks together. I listened to my song (Muse – Uprising) on the way home and the tricks match up reall [...]Tags: aerial yoga
Aerial Yoga: Session 4, Class 2
I look like a one-legged freak in these photos, but I assure you I have another leg – it’s holding me on the trapeze! I had more energy and an easier time climbing and foot locking, but I need to start doing pull-ups every day again. I was nervous I would have lost my mid-air ...

Aerial Yoga: Session 4
Last night I had my first intermediate aerial class. I was a little nervous and worried I wouldn’t be able to do any of the tricks, but I kept reminding myself that I couldn’t even get on the trapeze during my first class and look how far I’ve come. We started with floor warm-ups & [...]Tags: aerial yoga
Weekend in pictures
Friday after work I settle on the couch to watch movies on Netflix and paint my nails. (the magenta is by Milani and the silver is OPI) I watch Incendiary, which is completely depressing and You, Me and Everyone We Know which is super awkward. I’m just not a fan of movies where everyone is ... [...]Tags: aerial yoga, double trouble, fashion, slayer, weekend
So so happy
Happiness makes me very unfocused… I got a Facebook message from my aerial instructor this morning saying I’m doing great and can take intermediate classes next session. SO EXCITED! I was having a little lull in my weekday workouts, so this is just what I needed to get back on track. I d [...]Tags: aerial yoga, good stuff
Aerial Yoga Session 3: Week 5
Saturday was quite a painful day at class. We learned star drop (above) which squeezes the crap out of my thighs and then gives me fabric burn on my arms when I fall forward and catch myself in my arm pits. And we learned some sort of crazy twisty half-drop, which left me with the imprint ... [...]Tags: 365, aerial yoga
Aerial Yoga: Session 3, Week 4
This week we got to play on the lyra! You can see Ash in the background doing ‘the serious finger’ which is the only thing that makes the room stop spinning after a turn on the lyra. Look ma! I can fly! Pigeon – This one looks much cooler in motion. I spun around the fabric in ... [...]Tags: aerial yoga
Aerial Yoga: Session 3, Week 3
I hit another goal on Saturday in circus class – I did a drop for the first time! In the picture above I’m throwing myself forward as I let go, the fabric unwinds from my legs and I fall a few feet toward the ground before catching myself by the backs of my knees. It ... [...]Tags: aerial yoga
Aerial Yoga: Session 3, Week 2
This week we learned a new trick that I found to be quite strenuous to get into. You have to stand on the trapeze with your legs wrapped around the ropes and then flip the trapeze around so it creates an X on your back. Matt looks like he’s waiting for me to fall on my ... [...]Tags: aerial yoga
