VII. I imagine it can be quite unnerving sometimes to be hanging mid-air with nothing but a rope or hoop for support. How much of your performance is pure muscle memory and how much of it is mind over matter?
VIII. Does your experience with yoga assist your performances in any way? If yes, how so?
IX. Tell us about a challenging experience you've faced with the art form?
