Defying Gravity!

So its week 2 of circus and I'm doing TRICKS baby! Yeah!

I was worried that my trainer was keeping me at low speed seeing as this was my first time doing circus and all. But I need high gear - full throttle as Midsummer is just around the corner = eep!

So far I have learned that:

1. I can't do what I was planning on doing for my bower as it will never work on the top of the silks (booo)
2. yogalites prepared me for shit all
3. I love the girls who are working me- they point stuff out, teach me new things, make me feel less stupid than I am...
4. my body learns quickly if I just shut up and do it (as Greg Peterson once said "just be there, fuck."
5. Why didn't I take this sooner its fantastic

so yes. If you are looking for a physical challenge and have 500$ laying around - go to the Toronto Circus School as its fantastic.
Today there were Disney Cruise Line students learning trapease - they were all TOO happy to be there and TOO loud in their support. The one girl who helps me out said it perfectly "they just don't belong here"
- oh well, they made us laugh while the rest of us where grunting and crying from making that final pose.

circus, rehearsal
