Leap Day Trapeze Lesson

Students and teachers: February 29, 2012 Trapeze Lesson

My friend, Patti Digh, was in San Diego and decided she wanted to face her fear of heights and take a trapeze lesson. I agreed to join her at Trapeze High in Del Mar.

The whole experience was exhilarating and scary and fun.

I went up 3 times on the trapeze and was 'fulfilled.'

Climbing that rickety TALL ladder was almost the scariest part!

  1. Jane, you and Patti have had us hanging to hear about you hanging! Looks like spectacular fun as well as great inner and outer testing. You hung by your knees? Impressed. Love the yoga pose photo of you. Stripey socks deserve a ✔

  5. I'd love to join you for the class....but, sigh, there's the whole country between us! I'd never join you for the trapeze act. I'm in total awe of the fact that you did that Jane! I'm also very afraid of heights and almost felt sick just watching your video! If you watch Modern Family, you know that they did a segment on trapeezing just this Wednesday!
