aerial silks

My First Aerial Routine - Rehearsal Video

Hope you all had a great weekend!  Mine was pretty full with teaching, family, and working on the new business.  I admit, I can get a little obsessive with work projects so I took the kids to the Boston Rock Gym for a little climbing and some time on the silks.  There's nothing like physical exertion to get you out of your head for a while!

Thought I'd share this video of a basic aerial routine I'm working on -- it's actually my first!  I'm no Cirque du Soleil performer yet but I'm so glad I picked up this hobby and look forward to continuing to develop my skills.

It's never too late to start something new -- the first time I touched the silks I was 29 or 30.  Not that that's old!  My point is I didn't grow up doing this, or even doing gymnastics for that matter.  My favorite quote:

"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago.  The next best time is today." -Chinese Proverb

Have a great week! Andrea
