Acroyoga workshop synopsis

What a long, surreal weekend. Going to acrobatic flying today was the right call. Sadly, though, I didn't get ANY PICTURES of myself... not a one! I would love nothing better than a photo shoot of the things we did, but in the meantime I've tried to find pictures on the web for illustration.

( Friday, Saturday and Sunday: inversions, thai massage and acrobatics. )

What did I actually learn that I want to remember and keep practicing?

• That whole massage sequence I didn't describe.
• If I'm basing and my flyer has a layer of slipperiness over their hipbones, pronating my feet so that the feet cup their bones can help a LOT.
• In handstand, it is good to practice pressing off the wall with one toe and finding balance with the fingers.
• Acroyoga teaches that there is no way to correct an underbalance in handstands, which seems kind of silly to me, because yes there is.
• The ribcage part of the hollow body is still too hard for me to find. Maybe I need to do that often, like Kegels, when I'm lying in bed or bored in a meeting.
• Those "handstand walk" mini-presses. I need to find a productive way to work on them. Maybe I'd do better going from a step to ground level.
• As a base I have to push into a person so they'll be comfortable falling onto me. This goes triple for new people who don't realize I'm strong and don't trust me to start pushing at the right moment.
• I am pretty freaking awesome and can do great things, and am capable of learning more!
