In case you wondered about the point of my #firesword #balanceoftheday posts: I'm hoping to improve my performances with this implement, since I adore working with it but have previously neglected training up in the skills department. I will be bringing it out again for @downtownbank's #glowfair again this year, and to stages around the city more often going forward. Come to #burlesquewednesday at Bourbon Room on the regular and you might see it! Thank you @kiddglove for this shot. #progressnotperfection #circusartistcirque #fireart #swordplay #circuseverydamnday #circus #circusarts #fireartist #ottawa #ottawaburlesque #showgirls #burlesque #artstrippers (at The Bourbon Room)

#firesword #balanceoftheday is Utthita Hasta Padangustasana with the blade on my shoulder. My hamstrings are feeling very tight today so this was a bit uncomfortable for me, but a smile works wonders on a difficult pose, for me. :) #progressnotperfection #circusartistcirque #fireart #swordplay #ottawaart #ottawaartist #ottawagirls #circus #circusarts #ottawayoga #yogisofig #yoga #fitfam #ottawaburlesque #showgirls #burlesque #artstrippers #utthitahastapadangustasana
