🤸 Getting back on my Acroyoga journey! The Road to Recovery! 🤸

This weekend, I had the opportunity to play in a big beautiful pool. Of course, being silly acrobat kids, @acromott and I couldn't resist the temptation to goof off in the pool. Since my collarbone injury, I have not tried doing standing hand to hand (which is when you hold a handstand on someone's hands). I have been letting myself heal, and I have been avoiding putting too much pressure on my collarbone. According to the doctor, I would be ready to play and back in action beginning of October, so I decided to test out his theory.

*This was my first hand to hand I ever did on the ground.

I was a little worried that I would not be able to do standing hand to hand, because I had not trained for it in over 2 months. Before my accident, I had just started to practice hand to hand... so I was already pretty beginner status. Well, as it turns out, hand to hand is like riding a bike... your body just remembers what it has to do, and well I just popped up! I was lucky that a friend captured our moment on video, so I thought I would share.

It makes me so happy every time I watch this little gif. It's a reminder that when life gets tough and there are big ditches deterring you from getting to your destination, keep pushing through. Determination, willpower and the ability to bounce back will not only make you a warrior of life, but you will be so much stronger.
