I love this compass pose as an alternative to a tension split for those of us who aren’t super splitty. Or… do one and then the other 😉

The perfect shade of green silks did not exist… until I asked #GettingInverted to make them for me 😍 Showing them off with this sequence I learned a few years ago, inspired by Laura Stokes’ act #aerial #aerialsilks #silks #aerialist www.gettinginverted.com

From a few weeks ago: the evolution of my showcase routine. Fun to watch the evolution! To me silks choreography is a big puzzle. I start with a song, figure out the parts of the music where I want to do something special, and find ways to connect those dots. #aerial #aerialsilks #aerialist

So incredibly proud of every single performer at the #WarpedMKE student showcase last night 🥲 You all killed it. And thankful to our asst. director Cat for all of her hard work, as well as every other instructor & person who made last night possible 💕

Just finished hanging flowers for the #WarpedMKE student showcase tonight! I wish photos did it more justice 🥲 Grateful for another opportunity to combine my love for flowers and aerial ☺️ Shoutout to our studio’s assistant director who took care of the fabric for this installation collab.

These are real comments from people in the Conservatives subreddit, in response to an article about Trump saying he’s “not joking” about running for a third term. I’m in shock. It’s like, they are SO CLOSE to seeing it. #50501

This week I’m busy: frantically rehearsing my routine for our aerial studio’s showcase after the flu last weekend set me back, stringing up dozens of flowers to hang from 28’ ceilings (also for the showcase), aaaaaaaaand protesting the fall of our democracy 🫠

Ummm so all those times I’ve browsed my local bookstore thinking… dang, so many books I wanna listen to, wish I could buy audiobooks here… Just learned libro.fm exists and now I can live my dream of listening to audiobooks while supporting my indie bookstore 🥹🥹🥹🥹 #booksky #BoswellBookCompany

Oh hi, new app, who dis?! New home for all my aerial things, plus maybe some pet pics <3 Had fun finding the connection from this new-to-me lil flippy to loop splits. Thankful to have my training bestie back in town for fabric puzzles and general goofs #aerialsilks #aerial #silks #warpedMKE
