Get "Circus Fit"!
Want to know what it takes to get your body in gear to start training in Trapeze, Aerial Silks, Handstands, Chinese Pole, and other circus performance arts?
I can give you a general overview of what "circus fit" looks like and how to get there using bodyweight and/or resistance training (your choice, but you gotta choose *some* kind of resistance exercise, not just cardio). We'll also cover ACTIVE FLEXIBILITY and how strength and mobility are linked.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I am not one of those "always been fit" types!
I didn't do much with my body until I was about 28, and didn't start training for trapeze until after I'd had a baby in my early 30s.
So, I've had to work pretty hard to build myself up over the years. I feel as though after pregnancy I was starting over, in most ways.
Wherever you're at now, I can probably help you get to the "next level" and give you a road map to a state where you could start taking circus, gymnastics, crossfit, and any other acrobatically-oriented exercise far more safely and successfully!
Training & Qualifications
Trapeze student and performer, martial artist, and dabbler in handstands, Chinese Pole, and aerial acrobatics.
I'm also a software engineer which means a lot of desk time -- and you better believe that means a lot of special handling and knowledge of how to fix and prevent RSI pain!
(I am not a contortionist, but I can point you to some awesome resources if that's your interest!)
Availability & Preferences
weekday afternoons (PST), but try my anytime.
