Lyra Mini Cirque-shop

Service Description

Lyra, also known as aerial hoop, is a classic aerial art form that alchemizes the strength and athleticism of conventional sports with the grace, flexibility, and intuitive expression of dance. With roots in circus heritage and historical aerial gymnastics, lyra has inspired individuals from all walks of life to both literally and metaphorically rise above their personal ideations of what is considered "impossible". Join us for an afternoon of beginner-friendly fun as we float, flow, and fly through a short series of moves designed to leave you SHINING! While securely suspended from the ceiling on a steel hoop, students will be encouraged and invited to let themselves TAKE UP SPACE as we explore a sample selection of level-appropriate positions, transitions, rolls, drops, and / or spins from our full-length class. No previous aerial background is required! Experience the unparalleled joy and empowerment of allowing your body and spirit to soar! A unique and liberating twist on traditional fitness, aerial arts encompasses much more than cardio and strength training… As we grow, we become more adaptable. Flexibility transcends the physical plane. As we learn, we increase our brain’s neuroplasticity, which over time includes benefits such as: >>> Improvement of our mental health and emotional regulation >>> Increase in our resilience to environmental changes / stressors >>> Prevention of the development of neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia or Alzheimer’s As we celebrate our successes with one another, we nurture ourselves and our connections with our community. We show our nervous system that we do not need to fear the invisible lion in the room - we are the lion, and we all flow together with harmony and pride. Open to ages 8 and up. No previous aerial experience is required!
