When I have been weaving for any length of time or sewing or cooking or gardening or.....  I start to ache.  That is the arthritis and chronic pain syndrome I have.  I find yoga helps even though I really do not like it.  Russell and I were looking at a friends pictures and were like "why is hanging upside down and what is she doing?"  Come to find out she was doing anti-gravity yoga in Salt Lake City.    We do not have such a place but we did some research.  There is an aerial yoga manual published which is similar but different.  The idea of doing yoga while hanging from the ceiling or upside down really appealed to me, especially since it is supposed to decompress your joints and back.

Russell got the silk installed the day after Christmas.  With the book, this is really cool.  I have to admit that there are some fearless people around here so there is a bit of looking at the world upside down.  It is decompressing my joints but I am surprised how much muscle I am adding.  I can already tell there is a difference and I am using the silk everyday.  This is actually on top of the twenty minutes of yoga I do everyday just to get moving.  It is so cool!  But not tonight.  I am so tired I am about to fall over and I have a few chores to do.  Tomorrow I will fly again!
