Loved learning this drop tonight. It was so much fun. Gonna miss doing this for the next 4 weeks (I have a class Tuesday but it’s just not the same), and I hate to think how much it’s all going to hurt when I get back. Thanks Polarise fam. I’ll see you in 4 weeks #Polarise #studentsofpolarise #lyra #aerialhoops #drops #straddle #backwards #fun #love #lyralife #break #fun #fitness #weightloss #strength https://www.instagram.com/p/BypeHfil3_H/?igshid=fbo4ixu8puhr

The first time I’ve managed to get into an inverted pose in either silks or Lyra from standing!!! Not perfect but so excited to finally get it!!! #aerialist #silks #invertedpose #pose #inverted #upsidedown #finallygotit #lyralife #studentsofpolarise #love #excited #hardworkpaysoffs #flexibility #strength #fitness #weightloss #fun #happyplace (at Pol-arise Newcastle) https://www.instagram.com/p/BulRmDUARnr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wh0ri7mysl08

Last hoops class of 2018 last night... I can’t believe how much I have improved over the last 6 months.. my strength, flexibility, confidence... everything has improved. When I stared this class 3 terms ago I never imagined I would be hanging upside down with just my butt as support and legs for balance, or that I would ever be able to get my knees to the top of the hoop and have the strength to hang there like this. To think that getting into a simple secretary sit was a struggle at first. I can’t thank the people at @polarisenewcastle for all their help and encouragement this year. Can’t wait to see what 2019 brings! #happyplace #studentsofpolarise #aerialhoop #lyra #lyrahoop #lyralife #strength #flexibility #confidence #hoops #improvement #health #fitness #weightloss #lastclass #upsidedown #bringon2019 #love #life #newthings #newpassions #hobby (at Newcastle, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/Brm7xzHBp0m/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ajveytw0xf81

12 months ago I walked into my first @polarisenewcastle aerial hoops class full of nerves, unsure if I’d like it, sure I’d be terrible, desperately hoping I could do at least one of the moves, and I found my group of people. In all my years of sports participation, in everything from swimming and tennis to gymnastics to horse riding, I have never known a more supportive, friendly, encouraging group of people. They cheer when you get a move regardless whether it’s your first attempt or you 1000000th attempt, they encourage you to keep trying when you don’t get a move, they offer to take photos and videos (and encourage you to take them more often), they help you and offer advice, and they laugh with you when you fail, fall and get back up. I cannot thank Bailey, Sarah-Kate and Chelsea enough for all their encouragement and help. I may not be where I want to be, or where I had hoped I’d be at the 12 month mark but I am getting better little by little and I don’t care if I stay this level until this time next year, this is my ‘me’ time, and I am so thankful I found this wonderful, quirky little community ❤️❤️❤️ #studentsofpolarise #polarise #aerial #hoops #aerialhoops #lyra #learning #love #fun #fit #1yearanniversary #fitness #weightloss #strength #fails #laughter #learn #flexibility #gymnastics #metime (at Pol-arise Newcastle) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0VbPwXFanj/?igshid=12xh01fjapjmg

#handstandfebruary and #frontsplitsfeburary until this month I really haven’t done a lot of handstands since I have up gymnastics years ago. While I’m sad at how bad they are compared to back then, I’m impressed I can still hold one, even if I need the wall to make sure I don’t fall. Just need to work on my strength a bit more. And front splits? It’s been a long time since I even attempted the splits so I’m excited to see that they’re not as bad as I thought they were and I can’t wait to get back to being able to do them properly again. Bring on more stretching and flexibility! #aerialist #studentsofpolarise #lyralife #lyralove #frontsplits #handstands #progress #flexibility #strength #weightloss #fitness #fun #love #gymnastics https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt8C9HdgBqi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v5f47ydzxnoz

Hello #handstandfebruary a little late but better late than never. After doing full handstands up against the wall, I finally remembered to take a photo when we were doing the silks class after tumbling. Nice straight back, but I need to work on the shoulder/wrist positioning. #handstands #silks #tumbling #gymnastics #strength #fitness #weightloss #calisthenics #skyhighcalisthenics #hoops #lyra #flexibility #gettingbetter #studentsofpolarise (at Pol-arise Newcastle) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtdMYJ3Bn95/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cdgblmajy7ui

First low flow aerial class! Not bad for my first real go at any sort of hoop choreography, the hoop just might need to be a touch higher next week 😂this class is so much fun. I WILL be able to get my knees onto the bottom part of the hoop without standing this year! Ab strength goals!!! Now to make it smoother 😂 #lyra #aerialhoop #lowflow #spins #dance #studentsofpolarise #fun #happyplace #fitness #strength #weightloss #love #firstattempt (at Newcastle, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvOklMVgEZY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1g6ezk5bs79vj

Needs some work but I did it! Hip hang transition to Peter Pan... definitely need more practice to get it smoother but yay!!! Plus a bat (or a vampire? 🤷‍♀️) empress and some sort of straddle. End of first term of silks and super happy with the progress I’ve made in just 8 weeks. #aerialsilks #aerial #silks #hiphang #peterpan #empress #happyplace #newthings #improving #firsttermdone #stillneedspractice #acrobatics #gymnastics #fitness #flexibility #weightloss #strength #studentsofpolarise (at Pol-arise Newcastle) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrfMBtIBISR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ls2ujzxdqv0i

First session back at hoops tonight after 4 weeks off. Haven’t really gone backwards which was surprising for me because I really didn’t do too much over the break. This ⬆️ is my goal for the next few months. I want to be able to get in to and hold these inverted poses like pike and straddle. They’re so common in Lyra and silks that it’s definitely something I need to be able to nail. More core and upper body work for me 🙂 #lyra #hoops #aerial #aerialhoop #lyralife #pike #straddle #invertedpose #goals #workingonit #happyplace #firstdayback #strength #flexibility #agility #weightloss #fitness #fun #love #exercise #studentsofpolarise @polarisenewcastle https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs-fA5mhcqH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ihhipk275wr4
