Escape to Witch Mountain
May. 24th, 2007 10:15 pmI found them! I found playful acro-people to play with me! Yes, tonight was the night of the acroyoga workshop. I thought I would know at least one person there, for the rather good reasons that one person said they would go with me and I advertised the event to about 10 others, mostly yoga or gymnastics people, who I thought might like it. In fact I did know one person there: the yoga-teachin' husband of one of the regular teachers at 02 Yoga. And so I was right all along, but for the wrong reasons. Story of my life. :)
If you don't think acro sounds like fun then maybe I can't tell you why it's good to lift another person, or be lifted and stretched, or giggle and be dropped. There is something primal about it, supporting and being supported, that makes me feel human and happy, and there's a showing-off element and most of all it's just about playing. I'm not here to convince you, and I don't have the slightest idea why stuff like this doesn't sell out when boot-campy Ana Forrest garbage does. I will, however, post some pictures when they get sent around.
( Here are all the things we did in class that I want to remember )
One of the women there I really want to stay in touch with -- she apparently has acro get-togethers semi-regularly at her place, and she knows some stuff about Nimble Arts and general cool things. And in 3 days I get to do acro-in-the-park with
nevers in the city at the center of the universe! My acro-cup runneth over.
