Intro to Lyra

AERIAL SILKS

Aerial silk (also known as fabric or tissu) involves a paired length of fabric hung from above that are climbed and wrapped around the body to create dramatic poses and drops in the air. It will build upper body strength, tone your core, and increase your flexibility.

AERIAL STRAPS

Aerial straps are a pair of cotton or nylon apparatus suspended in which the aerialist wraps the ends around their wrist and arms and performs rolls, twists, and maneuvers similar to men's gymnastic rings. This apparatus is one of the most physically demanding disciplines.

HANDSTANDS

Handstands are the foundations of all acrobatics and help build strength, body awareness, and balance to support all other circus disciplines. Our classes are open to all levels and focus on giving each student a personalized approach to their practice.

CONDITIONING

Moving across all apparatuses, students will use different hand grips, conditioning techniques, strength training, lock-off skills, inversions, and general fitness to increase stamina, strength, and help to prevent injuries as you attempt more advanced skills in other classes.
