OMG front walkover
Jan. 7th, 2010 11:41 pmI did my first front walkover tonight! And then (after some failed attempts) another one!
!!!
It was really nice to have a measurable acro-breakthrough. This week's felt a little bit rough, getting back into my usual workouts AND my usual workweek... my ashtanga performance on Tuesday sucked, to put it kindly. At the other end of the spectrum, I went to acroyoga in its new home on Monday and Wednesday nights, and although a lot about them was good -- they seem to be instant successes with the new students, and a lot of the old crowd is in attendance too -- so far they're basic enough that I'm barely in first gear. I'll lose all my flying skills if I don't also manage to attend some of the jams people are starting to run. I see the utility of going to the basic classes, especially since having lots of advanced people is by far the best way to bring this new group up to cruising speed; I'm useful there. Still, I will swap out a class next week for Tuesday's jam, and will ask soon if the teacher's planning another 4-week series for advanced folk.
Walkovers are so very much the bomb. Oh man. :D
