There is a really big misconception that I'd like to debunk. It's not just circus. It's not just tumbling.

She is the founder and the leader of AYA. What is AYA? It is an aerial studio in Austin, Texas. you know i was in austin for three years but it wasn't quite the same often often i was out in lakeway and it was during covet so i missed out on the entire party locked away that's where i'm at you're in lakeway nice dude is that 7-eleven still there it's probably still oh my god that's 11 was a godsend that was like my home away from home hell yeah lakeway yes i'm right across the street from the lakeway dealership dude did you know that the undertaker used to live there no he used to be our neighbor he used to live in the lakeway before he moved out
Yeah, it's a very like quiet, quiet, little bougie area there. When the zombie apocalypse happens, we won't even hear it. Sorry.
What misconceptions exist about aerial arts?
Yeah, that's why I had a really good time during COVID. I don't like quake. We didn't hear anything. That's so funny that you actually had this alignment. Here we go. All right. So let's talk about purple. Thank you. Yeah. Purple is my color. It means health. It means well-being. Yes, I'm definitely trying to embrace the masculine and feminine energy, and I feel like purple is it. It's not just one color or another. I think it combines both masculine and feminine energy. One of my mentors, he's the guy that got me the job at PlayStation, his favorite color was purple. So every time I see purple, I'm like, dude, you're here. So hi, Jeff. Hi, not Jeff. Hi, Aya. So you're literally fresh off the Legacy Mayor's conveyor belt.

I cheated a little bit. I read your story script. Anyone that's a friend of Ayahuasca is a friend of mine.
