DON’T LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS. ESPECIALLY IF YOUR DREAM IS TO GENTLY KISS A BEAUTIFUL LION ON ITS FOREHEAD WHILE DOING STATUE AT A CORPORATE GIG. 🌬🦁💕 https://www.instagram.com/p/BxtlGkZgqSf/?igshid=1wnd9xpjnnuab

Get you a coach who finds vintage contortion videos and spends your entire lesson breaking down the weirdest looking move ❤️ @thetrapezestar https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxh5_MkgYEN/?igshid=1xwcn6c60qn5l

I’m in full baby deer mode with this trick still, BUT this is the first time I kept my hand off the ground for the full rotation! (swipe to see one of the numerous mat high-fives that preceded it) 🦌🦌🦌 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvww_UoAT4X/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ib4wef8i92yn
