What's the Jelly?

All the Small Things

March 2018-
Backstroke, Backbends, & Belayers

Fairies, and trolls, and gnomes, oh my!!  We're joined by tiny magical friends in March.   We are looking to the sky and hoping for MORE snow!  Today's Jelly is all about opening up and trusting.  Trusting that we will float when the instructor lets go, that our belayer will always catch us, and that we can open up out of our protective shells.
