I have been thinking a lot about the other day when I was at my acro yoga class, I got there and it was a whole new batch of people and Aaron wasn’t there and I had this feeling like I should just turn and go and this was after walking there after leaving my bike with the flat tire hooked up to a restaurant gate. But stay I did and I found some interesting things about myself – faced with a difficult position and unfamiliar (read: untrusting) of my group, I wanted to say no, but they all encouraged me to keep going and so i was able to get through some pretty scary moves – helicoptering on someone’s feet, backbending into a headstand, and even my initial handstand had me in cold sweats.<\/p>\n
I remember when I first started managing people a million years ago and I wanted everyone to be like me and couldn’t understand when they weren’t. Since that time, I’ve grown more accustomed to recognizing different abilities in different people and I would only hope that I give them enough encouragement to break their neck when they’re stretching beyond their comfort zones.<\/p>\n
In my regular yoga class at NOAC, we were told to do a forearm handstand and up I went and was surprised at how much I’ve advanced after being with a group of people who have helped me push my boundaries. It’s hard to trust a complete stranger, but sometimes when you do, great things happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
