Walkovers: collect all four

I spent most of last weekend at an acroyoga workshop. The Boston crowd really turned out to represent. It was done halfway through Level II teacher training for existing acroyoga teachers, and so the workshop was taught by the teachers who were in training, and the founders of the whole practice were also there grading them teaching. Very interesting, very layered. I got to be a flyer again when we split into acrobatic trios (yessssss!) and learned some subtle tricks about getting into star, and doing the star/straddle-bat transitions, and spotting (through messing up; ouch). It was pretty amazing to have 17 teachers in the room, and my flying got compliments.
Some sentences:
I can squeeze and breathe at the same time.
I can incorporate feedback.
Squeeze and trust, that's the mantra of a flyer.
When doing pushups, think kidneys.
I also apparently half-destroyed myself through overexertion. Yesterday I didn't work out at all (except for 36 chinups with
rifmeister, that doesn't count), and lay on the couch all evening and went to bed really early. Tonight I went to Zacro but it might have been a mistake... I tried and tried but didn't have much juice for anything, and my right quad was way too sore to attempt my usual front walkovers. The standing up part is a killer, for those of you who don't know.
I did try a few front walkovers on my bad side, just for practice, and actually stood up properly from one of them! That means I've now done all four possible walkovers. Even if only one of the four is remotely consistent so far, that seems neat to me.
