Trapeze | Gazelle

One of my favourite moves! And a great one for beginners!

Although the first time I heard it, I thought it was called Giselle haha!

One point you're sitting on the bar and the next, you drop gracefully to one side with a knee holding you in place. 

I am very confident dropping to my right however, I get nervous when I go on to my left leg. So much so, that I don't want to let go of the rope! Guess who needs to train their left side??!!? =P

The photo below was the first time I had tried gazelle back in November last year. I love my form here - so relaxed, so free!

I also love double gazelle! We even tried flowing from double gazelle both above the bar to one below the bar. It was a little tricky but we got there in the end! Don't worry, Will's leg was fine with me dangling off it!

The graceful gazelle.
