Aerial Dance on Silks

Yoga has been a great gift in my life. Beyond bringing me strength and flexibility, health and peace of mind, it has taught me to approach difficult challenges slowly and steadily trusting that I would progress. With my yoga practice as my teacher I've been able to do things I never dreamed possible: learning and performing professionally on aerial silks and rope starting at 40 years old! Each day before I faced the challenge of going up into the air, I practiced yoga as a warm-up to get my muscles warm and flexible and to find the clarity of mind I needed to be safely 20-30 ft. in the air. Although I am semi-retired now, performing on aerial silks brought together my lifelong pursuits of yoga, dance, and art in a satisfying and exciting visual manifestation of the creative spirit. For this I am blessed, Laura Morgan
