Back to the Ginga

After almost two weeks of absence because of a cold with a really sore throat I finally returned to capoeira class today. I didn’t feel very motivated to go beforehand, but I felt I had to go before completely falling back into my slacking lifestyle from before I started to actually enjoy exercising. Luckily today’s training session wasn’t too hard and as we were an odd number of students I could sit out one or two of the partnered exercises to keep my heartrate a little lower than usual so I wouldn’t overtax my still recovering body.
But it felt really good to be back to class, to the fun and music, back to the ginga.

Double Rainbow

A double rainbow
one vivid, one more obscure
– rain reflecting us.

Inspired by the double rainbow right in front of my window during today’s short shower (5 minutes of lightning and rain while the sun kept shining somehow).

Capoeira Progress: Split!

I managed to get into my first split tonight :) It was far from perfect and my knees hurt, but I did touch the ground and that’s what counts for me.
