Acroyoga home planet

I get to spend two days there, as a weekend workshop has come to Boston -- today focused on Thai massage and therapeutic flying. We learned a massage trick that was new to me and one new therapeutic flying posture, and it was delicious to see so many friends in the same place. Something funny though... I glowed warmly when I was complimented, but secretly I glowed much more when the visiting teacher praised the whole Boston acroyoga community. I'm incredibly happy that the community, the kula, is going so strong now after the potential disaster of losing its first home last fall, and knowing that I was part of that. It's well rooted now -- less dependent on any one studio, and a high priority for enough of us that it feels solid. With our teacher taking level 2 teacher training in spring, we'll soon be able to host immersions as well as just classes, and that will bring other high-level teachers through a lot more often, and we're going to be on the map.
Energy levels rose sharply after the workshop ended, and people asked each other "are you going to be here tomorrow?" Tomorrow is focused on strength, inversions and acrobatics. Although a lot of people came for just today because they're interested in massage, and that's a fine thing, the questions meant "did you fold or are you still in?" Tomorrow's going to be a high-energy day. :-)
