Easy AERIAL HOOP MOUNTS Tutorial: 6 different Aerial Mounts for all levels

Here are a variety of fun aerial hoop mounts - too often in aerial class we're taught one lyra mount and told we have to just muscle through, but there are lots of choices for how to get into the aerial hoop. Here's an aerial hoop tutorial with some of my fav ways to get on the lyra, plus tips to help you master them all whether you're at the beginner aerial hoop level, or intermediate or advanced. I'll also go in depth about the technique of spinning aerial hoop mounts, which can be a very confusing aerial hoop trick.

Thanks for this, super helpful! As someone without a dance background I really struggle with ways to approach my apparatus or begin a performance - basically the moments BEFORE climbing on. Would love a tutorial for that kind of thing!

Hey, thanks for this video! It was super helpful. Would you maybe consider doing a video specifically about exercises we can do to get these mounts? On the hoop, but also at home or at the gym. I'm having such a hard time getting my straddle and trapeze mount :/

I just had my first hoop class. I really liked it. I hope it gets better

As always u r on cue with the details. A clean, controlled entry sets the choreography off and I have been on a spin-exploration--entering and trying to control a steady pace. Thank you so much for this!!! 💕

Thank you for the explanation! Lovee the studio aesthetic

Getting my hoop delivered today, so this is perfect timing! Thank you so much!

Love this video! And love your channel! I started in March this year and would love to see a video on how to do a flare spin into a straddle and different combos that can be done with that 💗💗

If you are still taking requests for tutorials would you please be able to do one on what you can do after the pull over/front entry mount? I get into the front balance position in the hoop but then executing something graceful to transition into sitting in the hoop eludes me :) Love watching all your tutorials, thanks for taking the time to do them.

I didn't know about the beginner-friendly mount. It seems super easy but looks really nice. I'll try it tomorrow :) The rest... well, I'll keep working on them haha

Would you be willing to show us more mounds on the aerial moon? And also maybe more rolls as well? The aerial moon is such a curiosity for me…. I just can’t think of many mounts to get up onto it other than the one leg hock position

[kylieannen]

I swear my arms are too short/disproportionate to do trapeze mounts 😂. I can hold myself in an inverted tucked ball under the hoop for like a minute straight....but there's not any space left for anything to pass under the bottom bar 🤔

[laceyjackson]

I'm so mad at how big of a block the straddle mount is for me atm Dx

[emeraldfire]

Ahhh the trapeze mount is the baine of my existence. Is that a common feeling? I feel like Ill never be good till I can get that mount.

[valentinacircus]

Can you please make a video of different ways of how to get out of a bird (the pose where u lean on we hoop with the stomach) thank you

[katg]

I struggle and hate the trapeze/pike mount too - thanks to your top bar tutorial, I was able to gracefully & intentionally get to the top bar in my very first (ever) performance! I love your videos!!! Thanks so much!!!

Hi so I learned how to do a single knee pull through in silks class today and my mom can’t watch so I have no way to explain it to her and I can’t find any videos on it. If you could make a video of you doing a single knee pull through that would be awesome tysm!

[Mnster_Brbie]

Had 4 classes until now and feel that I will never learn how to get into the hoop properly. D: I'm just to weak D:

[dianap]

I still can't do the pull-up mount, can someone please give me tips, exercises, and where should I work on to do it? Thank you

[heathermendell]

Any good conditioning exercises for the trapeze mount?? I cannot get my feet under the hoop I can crunch my knees to the bar and then I get stuck every time. And to use it to get onto the top bar is not happening for me either, any tips help!
