This weekend we took a trip into Williamsburg. Alli’s sister Tami surprised Alli with a birthday present of Unnata Aerial Yoga. In this very informal class you mix floor and aerial poses to get a different kind of workout. The aerial poses are done using the help of a long loop of silk suspended from the ceiling down to about waist level. I also took the class and found the different kind of movements and stretches required to the aerial poses really opened up the floor poses. It seemed to really benefit the knee I had ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) surgery on two years ago so I would definitely recommend it. The instructor, Michelle, was great. She really relaxed us into it and helped us along the way. Afterwards we went to Diner, underneath the Williamsburg bridge, to eat. The burger there comes highly rated by our friends over at Hither and Thither, so of course I had to have one. I can confirm that it is indeed delicious! Walking around Williamsburg provided plenty of fodder for the lens. While it has of course become a haven for a slightly alternative crowd there’s plenty of industrial grit to see.
