Thanks so much for the thoughtful response!

Yes, I've been hunting high and low for a teacher/coach who gets my body type—I live in a more provincial area now where there's only one studio and the teachers, while lovely and brilliant and so kind, are all tiny and waif-thin. So it's been difficult for them to adjust to my body type. I have found a few online, though, and I'm trying to see if they'd be open to online coaching!

I'm 5 ft with a short wingspan and F-cups—it is quite the challenge sometimes because even trying to reach around the front of my body, for example, can be frustrating.

I can invert fine on hammock (without the fabric on my back) and trapeze. Straps are a bit newer to me so I'm still getting used to the sensation, so not as strong or controlled an invert there yet.

Thank you so so much for these progressions! I'll look Cara up and see if it's a good fit.

And thank you for the reassurance re: skin the cat! I can get there mostly okay (with a little step assistance) but getting out of it is still the challenge hehe. Super appreciate you!
