AcroYoga Slacktastic weekend...

well, i stepped out of my comfort zone and experienced my first yoga retreat. solo. it was a weekend filled with strangers and sharing. not my two favorite things. but there was also lots of acro yoga, beaches, slacklining and (surprisingly good!) healthy food.

saturday morning began with a little sunrise yoga. beautiful. and freezing. it may be in the 70s and 80s during the day, but at 6am it's in the 40s. and i wasn't wearing socks. bbbrrrrrrrrrr....

my favorite part: acro yoga. it's like if extreme yoga and gymnastics had a baby. perfect.

here we go. cartwheel on!

 

ps. the guy in the background is in his 50s

 

 look mom! no hands!

the slacklining part was ridiculously hard. It's a 1" wide piece of nylon suspended between 2 anchors (usually trees). i got to kneeling and standing. one time i was able to take 3 steps...

 whoa whoa whoa.... and down. this was a 30 second series..

 although the pros still fall too. splat!
