Lyra fitness, also known as aerial hoop or aerial circus hoop, is a form of aerial acrobatics that involves performing exercises and tricks using a suspended hoop apparatus. Participants engage their entire body, including arms, shoulders, upper body, and core, to lift themselves into various positions on the hoop.
It provides a full-body workout, improving strength, endurance, flexibility, balance, coordination, and self-confidence. Classes typically include learning basic entry moves, different postures while in the hoop, and progressively challenging tricks and routines.
Lyra Fitness is suitable for all fitness levels, with instructors guiding beginners through foundational techniques and ensuring safety by adjusting the hoop height for each individual’s comfort. It is a fun and empowering form of exercise that combines elements of dance, gymnastics, and circus arts.
