Welcome to Aerial Hoop/Lyra at Divas
We cannot wait to introduce you to the world of circus fitness. We totally understand that starting something like aerial fitness can be super scary and intimidating but we are here to help and guide you so that when you walk through our doors for the first time, you feel as prepared as possible.
WHAT IS AERIAL HOOP/LYRA?
First off, just to put any confusion to bed, aerial hoop and Lyra are the exact same thing. Lyra is just the formal circus name for aerial hoop. Lyra is a performance art using a steel hoop that hangs from the ceiling. Lyra tricks can be done under the hoop, within the hoop or above the hoop.
Although "Aerial Hoop" might be more commonly used in some places, "Aerial Lyra" is a term that highlights the same beautiful and versatile apparatus. At Aerial Divas, we really love to spin into all our tricks as it looks so pretty!!!! If you’re worried about getting dizzy, don’t stress. We start off super chill to build up your spin tolerance.
