Thank you! Yes, I should keep making them but being a full time student keep me busy. I do have a couple new videos planned talking about what I have been training during the pandemic. Its not lyra and should be shocking to some. Ill be posting it soon
Thank you! I just started Lyra and it’s helped me so much because I am legally blind and have super horrible balance anyways I was not told about warming up and the importance of it! My rig can’t go that high in the apartment but it’s still helped me and I’m a super beginner
Hey! Thanks for watching and supporting my channel! I am glad to hear that you found something useful in this video! I also have my aerial rig in my apartment. Its super low! But you gotta do what you gotta do!
yes I agree! I find it difficult to find things to do and mine is so close together that it’s hard to not hit the sides! I am about to go to California and I got a new rig that’s wider but not taller and I will be able to practice my spins but not any taller so I’d still need to find moves to learn to take back home!
Got my hoop about 2 days ago, I didn't stretch, I just got on and let me tell you. Now my back hurts my hands are also in pain, I learned my lesson very quick 😂
I know its so tempting just to jump on and go for a spin. But warm ups and conditioning build strength, prepare your muscles for activity, and ultimately make lyra more fun! Lots of love to your aerial practice! Thanks for watching and supporting my channel!
I tape my lyra always. Im a sweaty person so the tape helps me maintain my grip despite the moisture and also the tape helps prevent your clothes sliding against the bar. If you prefer untapped I may suggest wearing clothes more suitable for pole dance like shorts.
This is an awesome video! Lots of great additions to my usual conditioning. I do have one question if that's ok. Having taken classes for a year and a half I now have had my own rig at home for the past 6 months (yay). I am seeing so much progress from training both off and on the hoop, however I wonder how many days/how long for you recommend training generally a week to ensure slow but steady progress? I do a lot of HIIT and weights off of the hoop which helps majorly, however I probably only get on the actual hoop once a week (particularly because it is weather dependent). I really just want to amp up my skillset now, as I've been stuck at the same level for a while. Thank you ! x
Good morning! Thank you for watching and supporting my small channel. Congrats on getting a hoop and seeing progress, I know sometimes progress can be slower than we would like and that can be frustrating. But progress is progress no matter how small. Everyone progresses in their own way and time. What you are doing sounds like a steady solid practice. You could bump up the hoop practice to 2 sessions per week, if you are feeling it. Another tip that helped me progress, if that I would film myself doing choreography and conditioning, then watch the video and give yourself a little critique. After watching yourself immediately get back on the apparatus and make the changes you critiqued yourself off on and film it. Then you can compare the two videos in the same session. See what you did well and then see where you would like to improve. And its an awesome and easy way to see the micro progress between practices. I do this every time I train now. Even if I am just messing around, I always film myself, watch it, and then try it again.
@@katerawsaerialist844 that's amazing, thanks Kate! It's so true, things progress slowly and steadily. I remember thinking I'd never EVER get my front balance, and suddenly there it was. Thanks for taking the time to reply as well, I think now the sun is starting to show I'm going to push my sessions to 2 days a week :-) x
@@lydiastevens6206 My pleasure Lydia! Enjoy your practice and celebrate the small progress between the leaps and bounds! Congrats on your front balance! Lots of love to you.
Hello, thanks for posting this! please answer me. I just took my first Lyra class today! I love it but I couldn't hang on it (from hang) without assistance and I couldn't do the one leg change even with assistance, I feel that my arms are very weak! when I go to the gym I never do a pull up or chin up or push ups! I feel a little bit disappointed but I don't want to give up. Can you please tell me if strengthening my upper body would help? Also, is the hoop being high (I'm short) a factor? would you recommend me asking the instructor to lower it? please advise!
Hey! I completely empathize with you. My first lyra class I could not pull up and I was the only one in class who could not get into the lyra. My advice to you is to keep going! Stay consistent in your conditioning and over time and practice you will be able to hang. Remember that all tricks stem from conditioning exercises. So yes, build strength from excercises (core, arms and yes, even legs) and you will get more aerial endurance. Feel empowered to ask your instructor for modifications and ask questions. Let them know how you are doing. I like to use resistance bands around my lyra or pull up bar when I train pull ups, see if your gym has them. If your gym has the ability to change hoop height, then yes you may ask for it to be lowered. I have trained at gyms where the hoop could not be lowered. And I have also trained at gyms that denied my request to lower and stated that the height challenge is part of strength building.
Your videos are awesome! Really great teaching style. Very clear & easy to understand your instructions. I hope you keep making them!

wow!! this is quite the workout!

It would be awesome if you could show some videos with lower height. Mine is pretty low, and I have a hard time figuring out what I can do on it.

I am about to go to California and I got a new rig that’s wider but not taller and I will be able to practice my spins but not any taller so I’d still need to find moves to learn to take back home!
Soooo many choices!!! These are all great exercises. Great video!! ✨💛
thanks for checking out my channel!
Great insightful video!!

Just did this today and love it! Do you tape your Lyra or leave it as the metal base?
I tape my lyra always. Im a sweaty person so the tape helps me maintain my grip despite the moisture and also the tape helps prevent your clothes sliding against the bar. If you prefer untapped I may suggest wearing clothes more suitable for pole dance like shorts.

Hi! What exercise would you recommend if I can't pull my legs up to get on it? 😦 thanks a lot!
