We began, as always, with some conditioning and in just a week I could feel that I'd got stronger. I felt more stable getting on the hoop (it didn't swing about when I got on) and I no longer needed to jump up, I could just pull myself there.
The advanced group moved fast, so we could get through the conditioning and onto some poses. First up was front balance. I was looking forward to this one all week after the success of the last class but knowing the advanced hoops were much higher, I knew it would be more challenging. It was less than graceful (let's blame the cramp I got in my calf on the way up) but I still managed to get up a couple of times, so I'm happy with that. Next week, when I'm back on the trapeze, I'll literally fly onto this pose with the extra momentum from the swing!
Next week I start my new flying trapeze course, which I cannot wait for but I'm going to miss aerial hoop. Lucky, then, that I've got a few souvenirs from the class!
