Class Overview

Level 1 & Level 2 students Adult class (18+). Basic Techniques: You will learn fundamental lyra techniques and moves. These can include mounting and dismounting the lyra, holds, hangs, poses and transitions. The focus is on building a strong foundational technique that will set you up for success in more advanced moves. Strength and Conditioning: Lyra requires a good deal of body awareness, upper body and core strength. You'll work on building and developing these muscles through various conditioning exercises. Progression: As you advance through the classes, you'll gain confidence and competence in lyra techniques, poses and transitions, to find a flow among poses setting a solid foundation for sequencing, and in preparation for more advanced skills as you progress to the intermediate level. It's essential to wear appropriate attire (usually form-fitting clothing that covers the back of the knees) and to communicate any physical limitations or concerns with your instructor to ensure a safe and enjoyable learning experience. All skills and exercises will be tailored to your body’s current abilities. All bodies are welcome. **The aerial hoop (also known as the lyra, aerial ring or cerceau/cerceaux) is a circular steel apparatus suspended from the ceiling.
