Aerial Hoop

Aerial Hoop (otherwise known as Lyra) consists of performing acrobatics in a large steel hoop suspended from the ceiling.

During your hoop class you will perform a warm up, conditioning exercises, learn poses and acrobatics and finish with a cool down/stretch.

We run 3 types of hoop tuition: a 4 week routine based course consisting of many tricks, mounts, and transitions within a routine, private lessons for those uncomfortable with class situations and a Hoop Tricks class solely for those wanting to learn tricks with no transitional work included, this  class is not suitable for complete beginners. Please see booking information below.

Aerial hoop is unlike pole, in that you need to cover the skin to avoid burns.  You may also wish to wear multiple layers to avoid bruising.  We would normally recommend leggings and a close fitting top. 

The benefits to learning Lyra are many. According to research conducted by AerialBliss while increasing your metabolic rate you could burn up to 520 calories in an hourly class. Lyra is also brilliant for building strength and improving posture. Many Lyra moves involve balance, therefore you will be engaging all those core muscles that have probably been dormant for some time! There are also many moves that involve flexibility on a Lyra and these will also be worked on. You will find with regular practice  your flexibility will improve and these moves will become easier.

Please note upon booking you will receive an email from us with some health forms attached. These must be completed and returned to us prior to your first class.

Trapeze workshop focusing on different entries to spins, controlling the speeds and flow. Open to anyone

 

Our flying pole will be the centre of attention in this spin style workshop (don’t panic, she can spin slowly!).

Learn to spin faster than Mary Poppins herself, you’ll be able to climb, fly and be a true badass during this workshop

 

Ever look at photoshoots and feel things are getting a little stagnated? Looking for quirky poses but not sure where to start? Tracy has years of experience and countless photoshoots to draw her knowledge from and can’t wait to share some polefect poses with you all. Let your inner Poppins reveal herself!

 

Hoop workshop focussing on innovative strop use. We will have low hoops for those with limited experience so do not fear! Let yourself take flight, you never know… it may lead to tea parties on the ceiling!

 

Trapeze workshop focuses on using the ropes to do combinations of static wraps and dynamic rolls. Any level is welcome to this class, but the ability to invert (even on pole or hoop) is necessary.

 

In this workshop, you will discover what pole silks is all about, with the perfect mix of pole and silks, combined to give you that fabulous flying feeling, whilst learning something new, and having fun doing so.

We will be looking at various tricks, entries and combos throughout, suitable for all levels!

What to wear:

Shorts that you would typically wear in a pole class/ that are short enough to have your knees and thighs out. Short sleeved t-shirt is perfect for this, please avoid long sleeves as you will need elbows for grip with various tricks!
