It looks like a hula hoop, but it’s steel and suspended from the ceiling. It’s Lyra. Want to take flight? This introductory workshop will get you up on the hoop, have you hanging upside down and spinning off the ground. This 2 hour introduction to lyra will teach you the fundamentals of aerial hoop, including spinning, ways to mount and get down from the hoop, simple poses, as well as an overview of form and safety. The workshop also includes a warm up and flexibility segment, cool down and some aerial conditioning exercises. Take a peek into how you can develop a fantastic skill, increase your fitness and your flexibility while refining your balance and core strength. Lyra leverages your own body weight as resistance to help you build upper body strength, create a flat stomach, improve your flexibility, and build longer, leaner muscles.
What to Bring Wear
Comfortable, close-fitting clothes that offer a full range of motion – leggings and a leotard are preferred. You’ll probably want something that protects the backs of your knees, such as tights or over-the-knee socks. Please do not apply lotion or oils to your skin before.

A minimum of 4 students are required to hold workshop.
