fly yoga = cirque du soleil yoga-style

i’m traveling (again) and this time i’m in chicago, getting ready to cheer on some 40 thousand runners in tomorrow’s marathon.  so today’s post is brought to you by the letter ‘F’…as in Fly!

part of the perks of my job (and one of the many reasons i *heart* it so much) is that i get paid to do yoga wherever i go. yesterday morning i was treated to a fly yoga class with my chicago lululemon peeps….and all i can say is fly yoga: PLEASE COME TO VANCOUVER!

for those of you who’ve never heard of fly yoga (otherwise known as antigravity yoga), fly yoga involves a silk hammock suspended from the ceiling (think: circus) that are utilized to provide support for inversions, standing postures, and more.

don’t get me wrong:  vancouver has an amazing yoga community, however, i miss the variety that i used to find in larger cities and often find myself craving something a bit more intense than the usual anusara-inspired practice.

i wish i would have taken pics (but then i wouldn’t have been able to live out my circus fantasies to their fullest) so i’ve stolen some from facebook:

Q: what’s more fun than yoga in a hammock?

A: yoga in a hammock…upside down!

...a selfish yogi, on a constant quest to find zen daily. i've been practicing yoga on and off since i first discovered bryan kest's power yoga series on VHS in college (it was a while ago). since then, i've been practicing in a studio for the last 4 years, however, it wasn't until this previous year that i began practicing consistently. i am admittedly a much, much friendlier person when i get in my mat time. it's so integral to my being that life gets scheduled around yoga--yoga does not get scheduled around life. styles of choice include power or vinyasa, with the occasional hot class on the side for purely meditative benefits. i'm also single and looking, just in case you're a cute, flannel wearing slightly scruffy single man in your late twenties/early thirties and single yogis with blunt bangs and bobs are your thing. (flirtatious *wink*)
