Hammock

Volume is really low on this one

As the world falls down...

I'm a little obsessed with this song. So I choreographed something on lyra with it. Sorry, not sorry.

The Fountain

 Three months of practice and a song with the perfect tempo...

Look at me!

Practiced today. Here are the highlights...

Spinning Groove

My lyra training has improved immensely. And I am here for it! This sequence looked so hard, especially with a baby spin. But it felt awesome!

Also starting to fall in love with hammock/sling. More so, falling in love with how it looks and feels. 

Spin Therapy

My life is dark right now. I lost my beloved baby boy, Wilson. My job is threatening to take away my working from home. And I'm lonely. 

But sometimes, spinning clears my head.

Lyra Magic

Lyra class last night. Haven't been in awhile, been practicing at home, instead. Learned some fun new shapes and transitions. We're back to masking in public, which sucks. But yesterday was the first fall-ish feeling day, so it wasn't too hot! Yay, fall!

And here's a screenshot. Kinda blurry but arty. 

 

Twisted

A twist on a classic

Choreography

New choreography class. I've never pushed myself to sequence for so long, I usually get tired and stop. This class has been just the thing. The song is cool. The sequence is cool. Hard but cool. This is week 3, so we'll finish up next week, but I'm just so proud.

Strong AF

My first thought was, my tits look amazing. Then I noticed my shoulders and upper chest. Strong AF! 

Dance Trapeze

Tried a new thing. Dance trapeze. It felt a bit like if lyra and hammock had a baby. I love anything that spins!

Pullup!

Wow, so close! So, so close...

And then a pretty picture...

No Hands

My new superpower...

Hammock Private

It's been awhile since I posted something, but that doesn't mean I haven't been practicing. I've just been too lazy to transfer videos from my laptop to my PC. I've been doing a shitton of lyra and a smattering of hammock. But recently, gyms have opened, which means my aerial studio can open. Sad news that hammock classes weren't returning. But I signed up for private track, so I can have private lessons. I like private lessons better than classes anyway.

We worked on this sequence today. I think I look lovely. More importantly, it was so much fun. I may be one of the worst aerialists in the world, but I thoroughly enjoy moving my body through this apparatus. hashtag softlyra

Hammock

I just found out my studio is discontinuing hammock classes. I'm devastated. I waited over a year to be eligible. I finally got to take 3 classes before the pandemic/studio closed. And now, they're not bringing them back.

BUT! All hope is not lost. I have a hammock at home. And I trust my body to know if a move or transition is going to work. It may take longer, reviewing videos I find online, figuring out which leg, which arm goes where. I practiced this sequence from moves I found online. It's awkward and clunky. But I don't care. I'm training hammock, baby!

Ass

Just having so much fun with my lyra at home. I've been working on my favorite moves but with spinning. I'm comfortable spinning. But the force makes me question my strength and grip, so I'm easing myself into it.

This is just a badass move. Bootylicious!

Pullover!

Pullover success! With minimal jumping. This was the 4th one I did today; I was afraid once the camera started rolling, I wouldn't be able to do it. But yayness!

Quarantine Training

More fun with home training. And I figured out how to take better videos. Well, slightly better...

Chest Stand

Not really a chest stand. My chest isn't helping, at all. This is all grip. And I can only hold it for about 2-3 seconds. But it looks super cool!

Straddles & Shapes

My straddles have improved. I've started exhaling as I lift my legs. I'm jumping like almost not at all. I can't stack, may never be able to stack, but I'm getting better.

And shapes!
