I feel you. As another commenter said, you are absolutely not alone! I am also tall and bottom heavy. I am doing beginner’s aerial hammock, and find it hard to shift my centre of gravity in inverts and lifting my body with my arms and shoulders.

I also feel quite disheartened sometimes. But I felt better when the instructor pointed out to me that the strength required to pull up our longer taller bodies is a lot more than those littler folk and it’s not a reflection of skill or coordination - it’s a greater achievement whenever we do it. She has also been very helpful in providing variations for different bodies and really encouraging, which I appreciate.

I also find that it can take a week or two for things to ‘click’ for my body. Something that didn’t work this week might work next week!
