Another way to fly...

The last few weeks seem to be about learning to have fun whilst doing yoga! I love yoga for the way it makes me feel calm. Focusing on my breath and movement has become a way to tune out of the buzz of life and tune in to how I'm feeling. However, sometimes it's good to just let go and laugh!
I had my first try at aerial yoga yesterday, and again I'm hooked! It's an amazing way to stretch out, as you are allowing gravity to help your body to release into poses. It helps to relieve muscle tension, improves circulation and core strength. 
I love the way that yoga is being combined with other things like acrobatic, silks and slings to make it more fun and challenging. Whilst I know that it is not so much about 'focusing my mind and quietening the chatter', it has opened up a whole new door into body works for me, which I am loving... hopefully I will be able to share this all soon!
