acroyoga is so much fun!

This has been a great week for acroyoga! As already mentioned, Johan and I met for acroyoga practice on both Monday and Wednesday. Since last posting we also met on Thursday and today for the normal Friday Phire training. On our own we have only done some of the basics, since he needs to work on flexibility, and we both need to work on strength (since he is only a little larger than I we are taking turns being the base more often than Ellinor and I normally do). However, we are already seeing improvement. Today Ellinor made it to Phire, and so we three worked together, which was great because she was better able to explain what to do as base for various poses, and she was able to be a spotter as we tried the cartwheel into bat for the first time together. In addition to teaching Johan the some of the basics that she and I already know, she and I tried a new mermaid sequence, which is going to take a fair bit of work to get right, but I think it will be fun when we get there.

After about an hour of acroyoga we put up the aerial silks, and, much to my delight, I was able to climb all the way up on the first try. Warming up before trying the silks is important!

Sadly, we won't get to do more acroyoga this weekend, all three of us are busy (in my case I need to work, since I haven't yet worked enough hours this week). But there is folk dance on Sunday to look forward to.
