Initially, I faced several challenges, but as I continued to practice, I began to feel more comfortable. Surprisingly, I realized that I was slowly developing the flexibility needed for aerial yoga. This experience not only led to physical improvements but also brought about a sense of inner happiness.

LO2. Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process.
This experience had its own set of challenges, demanding considerable flexibility which I lacked in. This made it somewhat challenging for me. Additionally, my level of physical activity had not been very high, resulting in weaker arm strength, an important element in aerial yoga. Further, maintaining a calm and focused mind was essential to execute the poses effectively. Overall, it was new expereince for me and the most fun.
LO4. Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences.
I dedicated myself to this activity with the aim of enhancing my posture and flexibility. The initial days were challenging, with significant body pain. But I didn’t give up. I have always been inclined towards physical activity, hence I showed perseverance to in achieving my goals, especially when it comes to improving my health and lifestyle.
