Finding my community in Sacramento!
I spend most of my free time at my favorite gym in the world, Pipeworks. This is where I train with @acromott to get stronger and work on our acroyoga skills. I thought I would give a tour of my gym today, because it is so special to me. When I first moved to Sacramento from Texas, I had no friends. It was difficult to find people I really connected with that also shared the same interests. All of this changed, when I discovered Pipeworks and the vibrant community at this gym. More than half of my friends are from this gym. People at Pipeworks live a really active lifestyle and typically like the outdoors.
Since being a part of this community, I've acquired new skills. I've learned how to rock climbing, acroyoga, and slack line! My favorite favorite activity out of the three is of course, acroyoga! I actually met @acromott on the blue matts of this gym. Now we play together pretty much everyday.

Another reason why I enjoy Pipeworks, is because there are so many furry friends around. Members are allowed to bring their pups to the gym! I'm always snuggling with new buddies. Fun fact, my gym is even opening up their own brewery, so you can grab a beer after your climb!
I think no matter where you are, it is important to have a supportive community. I happen to find mine at my local rock climbing gym. What community are you part of, and why do you like them? Feel free to share below.

Very good your text. Two things caught my attention in him. As a psychologist, I know that if a person is alone, both in relation to the family environment and social life, he will begin to create beliefs related to helplessness and will tend to develop depression. Your strategy to quickly get a community that can give you the support you need, shows a great quality of coping with problems you have.
Another thing I liked, was his picture with the puppy. It's a Saint Bernard, right ???
I love puppies and I always have my dog Miya with me next to me !!!
Thank you and good night!
Acromott and you are the yin yang of acroyoga. Keep it up it is both fun, healthy, and fulfilling @karenssuestudios
awww! Thank you! Good to hear from you. :) Thanks for stopping by!
looks fun! I want to try Bouldering! Is it difficult?
It can be when you first start, but it is a lot of fun! It makes you strong!
Sincerely I sometimes find it difficult to believe you are actually doing those.....A friend beside me as I typed this say "I don't believe all these pictures aren't Photoshop" effect.
I need you to keep doing this, because you leave me in awe whenever I see you do your acroyoga.
Spreading the love of accroyoga, I've been up and going about trying to get you, I've not been able to reach you on discord, how can I reach you on discord?
You guys are awesome and I always love your guys' beautiful acroyoga . You guys are the first ones that I have actually seen and heard of acroyoga and I always love watching you with @acromott.
You guys make it look so easy and fun. Hope to take acro yoga classes in the future :)
Cool gym! I have tried slackline once and it is soooooo hard. I love climbing gyms but haven't been in one for awhile.
I didn't know you were from Texas! I think that it's wonderful that you've found a community you love—a home for learning and having fun with others.
I am very anti-social in general but I do love our Dance Dance Revolution community we have out here in Hawaii. We go to arcades, bars, and do karaoke and dinners sometimes. That's my family <3
