learning to fly

   Winter is here, and it's unusually cold for the bay area.  So, we've all been showing up to the Center wrapped in sweaters, hats, and other furry layers. But, turns out you can work up a nice sweat with a few climbs or some handbalance.  It's so peaceful to turn my creaky cold body into a warm working machine.
  Now that the classes are full of regulars, it's fascinating to see practice carving arcs.
The progression is so visual, and clearly non-linear.  Getting an idea to settle (or unsettle) in a body is a strange process. On that note, with a sneaky trick from Jaron, I managed to mostly straddle up into a handstand an balance. Wheeee!!!!

 A good daily thought for yoga, aerial and life....
