For the past 8 weeks I’ve been doing aerial yoga at the Detroit Flyhouse with Ria and Sarah.
Both of them have written about our progress each week, but I was far too lazy to do that figured I would wait until the end and discuss it all at once.
If you don’t know what aerial yoga is, it’s basically yoga in the air. If you’ve seen cirque du soleil where they climb the fabric and hang out on a trapeze, it’s that. We are turning into circus acts, and yes, you should be jealous because this is HANDS DOWN the greatest workout I’ve ever experienced.
The first week we were there we could barely hold ourselves on the fabric in the climbing pose. Yesterday was our last session. Ria managed to flip herself upside down into a locust pose, Sarah balanced on the trapeze with her posed in mid-air and relying on just her arm strength, and I got my ass into a full split doing the dirty dreadlock pose. None of us would have been able to do these on the first day. We start another session of classes in 2 weeks, and I CANNOT WAIT. Especially since Jenni will be joining us too.
Now, since this post all boils down to us showing off our skill, here are a few photos from various classes.

Ummm…
Am I the only one looking at the sexual benefits of those poses?
Right. Probably am.
Where the hell is my lotion?

We totally rock! I can’t wait for next session…what am I gonna do for two weeks? Actually I think I’m going to wear a lot of skirts and take advantage of the non-bruised legs hahah

That’s awesome! I wish I could do something like that.

All three of you have grown so much in your skills and abilities. I wish I could join, however the lupus in my shoulders, hands and hips wouldn’t allow me to, even if I got better strength in my biceps. My hands swelled with incredible pain just from helping unwrap presents and from cleaning up the house yesterday after the wedding shower I helped throw.
Don’t forget to blog about the giveaway for your final entry!

Dude, that’s awesome! Not gonna lie, I think it would scare me, but it does look like a great workout. (And the pose in that middle shot is so graceful!)

March 8th, 2010 at 5:09 pm

Whoa whoa whoa, very impressive lady! Wonder if we have something like this in LA. You would think…

So you get in shape, PLUS learn valuable circus skills.
WIN WIN.
Extra credit for the pit sweat stains.
It proves you gals were actually working.
Or, are just naturally sweaty.

Awesome. I’ve never seen anyone do this before but I’m seriously impressed. I wanna be able to do circus tricks too!
March 9th, 2010 at 12:44 pm
I could do that.
Not on purpose, but whatever.
March 9th, 2010 at 2:47 pm
Travis is right. I mean, not about the lotion, but about thinking them’s look like some valuable skills.
March 11th, 2010 at 3:05 pm
I’m openly laughing at the clothing and you can’t stop me.
March 11th, 2010 at 7:06 pm
You know how much I want to do this. STOP SHOVING IT IN MY FACE.
Meanie pants.
