#TechniqueTuesday with @llucyintheskywithdiamonds_ Blindfolded practice is a bold, brave and brilliant way to rediscover your discipline. "TIP: Keep calm! The blindfold really helps you to focus and understand body placement." Only try this in a safe, supervised training space with a harness! #ttcircus #techniquetuesdaytips (at National Centre for Circus Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8tzHBNAdVU/?igshid=18q21ti09w8z2

#TechniqueTuesday with @emmadilemmacircus "Ticked off the first skill of my New Years goals- Zombie Press✅😅 Not my best handstand shape in this one but the first time I managed to go back down to straddle hold after, wahoo!☺️ TIP: Focus on your conditioning, particularly abs and hip flexors, before attempting to pull this off! 🧟‍♀️🤸‍♀️" #techniquetuesdaytips #ttcircus (at National Centre for Circus Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8bmxn7DlsE/?igshid=u11jqenenud3

#TechniqueTuesday with @sophiecircus_ Play time @nationalcircus to @fkatwigs ✨ ~ Want to experiment in your own way? "Always be aware of where the tail of the rope is because it can easily get in your way and break your motion and make a sequence messy. It’s important to practise and discover transitions between root moves to create a similar sequence :)" ~ #techniquetuesdaytips #ttcircus (at National Centre for Circus Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B73XNsiAiQ_/?igshid=50fkf62tpkiu
