Yogi took flight (AcroYoga)

Over the Thanksgiving weekend (the Canadian Thanksgiving), I, not only over-indulged in turkey (a very delicious one cooked by my talented cousin but also had a new experience - AcroYoga. On a wimp and by pure chance, I signed up for a weekend acroyoga workshop and was definitely physically humbled. AcroYoga combines the practices of yoga, arobatics and thai massage and most importantly promotes the spirit of trust, connection and playfulness - http://www.acroyoga.org/.

Despite my recent struggle with my fundamental faith in good versus evil in humanity, I pleasantly surprised myself by placing trust in complete strangers to be my base as I fly in seemingly dangerous acrobatic moves. The sense of community was so full within the group of participants; the positive energy exuded by the group slowly restored my faith in the good of mankind.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I am grateful for the strong support base from family/friends which allows for opportunities to explore new experiences.

Namaste
