To give a little background  for our listeners Stu and I competed during the same era in acrobatic gymnastics and have known each other for quite some time. Our last professional circus run in was at Cirque Du Soleil’s Headquarters in Montreal when I was intensely preparing for my handbalancing role as the promise in Varekai. I believe you were in creation/rehearsal during that time Stu? 

I wanted to start by saying how grateful I am that you created your coaching platform Aerial Fitness bodies. It’s given myself and other coaches in the circus and fitness communities the opportunity to provide high quality training during such extraordinary times we are living in. Aerial Fitness bodies has been an immediate grounding presence in my life and granted me the support to give grounding to my students as well, which I feel is what is called for during such times,  and as mentors we are vessels for stability and regulating consistency in the lives of others, and that is so important to the overall health of a persons life especially right now. 

I’d also like to express that if it weren’t for Aerialfitnessbodies.com I very well may not have had the inspiration to create the handstand doorknob method. What you and your co- creator Arthur Hong have created has been so beneficial for the greater community in terms of providing them access to our coaching methods during the pandemic and beyond once we become more mobile in the future. So I say thank you again for all of your efforts!
