Silks

Oh, I got a silks, too...

Home Rig

Mark this day in history, y'all. My new house is done. My rig is mounted. I had oh, so much fun today. But due to being grounded for a freaking month, my strength was nowhere near what it used to be. I can't wait until my studio re-opens. But until then, at least I can now practice at home.

Single Tab

I like a double tab lyra. I feel uncomfortable on a single tab. But I'm trying. Each time I learn a move, I think about how scary it might be on single tab. If not too scary, I try it. So that move I posted a video of before, from man in the moon, I tried the other day on single tab. And I heard my teacher say, I see you using the single tab, and I'm so proud of you.

Wow. Yea, it doesn't take much. I appreciated that so much.

Unit 4

Lyra Intermediate 1 has a new unit, full of dynamic movement and momentum and a little bit of spinning. Never enough spinning. Not a lot of poses to take pictures of, more video of transitions and motion. But flag is always fun. And this little transition from man in the moon was super fun. I'm bruised on the backs of my arms somehow from this same move on Sunday, so I brought a shirt last night for protection. The fabric got a little in the way when I tried to drop, so it's not as quick as I was hoping. But still fun!

Post Holiday Blues

Yea, I know, I haven't been posting. I'm still frustrated with my lack of progress. I'm still sad during class when I see students thinner than me, stronger than me, less sweatier than me.

And my studio was closed for 9 days over the holidays. 9 days! Their first day back (it was a Thursday), I did double classes, then another class on Friday. That...might not have been the wisest choice. Sunday was one of the worst aerial days I've ever had, and it could be somewhat related to being hella sore.

But before the holidays, I was feeling good. I did double classes on Sunday and Monday. Despite being so bruised and unable to do certain moves, I was pleased with my stamina for that many classes.
