7 Aerial Hoop basics that you NEED to know (lyra tutorial)

It's back to aerial basics time! These easy aerial hoop moves are so incredibly important, even if you're no longer an aerial hoop beginner - they are the foundation of many more advanced and intermediate aerial hoop tricks and you'll use them in almost any aerial hoop choreography or lyra routine. They will also help you with aerial conditioning and feeling comfortable in the air, not to mention smoothing out your aerial hoop transitions and lyra flow.

Hi, just started lyra. I have a bout 7 classes under my belt and a week ago I installed a lyra where I work. I work at a cool place!! Ha ha. I love it. I'm having trouble sustaining pointed toes without cramping in my foot. Any tips? Thank you for your great channel.

cool video. sometimes you are getting so into mastering the difficult, more advanced, cool looking moves that you forget about the basics :D the first position I was taught was the man/woman in the moon and it is still one of my absolute favourite positions

Hi Cara,
this video was a great idea and I think most of us realy needed it.
I love the move to change the legs! It's looking so great, that I will even use it when it wouldn't be necessry to change legs.

Can you do a video about how to exit the amazon position greacefully?

Hi Cara, where do you get your lyra wear from? I like the sets that you wear when you train.

Such beautiful transitions - and great suggestions for which ones to focus on. I really need to tidy up mine!

Hey Cara the hoop at my club is suspended about 8 feet in the air. Can you show how to get up there and how to bring your torso up once you get your legs in

Off topic question. How did you become a house sitter.

I had a coach try and show us how to get into front balance by rolling and when she did I failed to understand you roll on your upper thigh. Not hip. Did 3 in a row on my hipbone. Most painful thing, I had a bruise for weeks.

I know mermaid is not a hard move but for some reason, I’m scared of trying it. I can do more tricky moves but I struggle with mermaid :(

[petrajantacova]

how can you do that you don´t rock swing sway, just spin. Sorry for bad english, you know what I mean.

That second move is not easy 😂 I keep falling of the hoop and it's very painful 😅
