Our lightweight hoops are made from meticulously polished hollow stainless steel, making them easier to manipulate; they move with the performer for infinite smooth rotations and optimal balance and tend to bruise less.What is an Aerial Hoop, or Lyra?The Aerial Hoop, also known as “Lyra”, is a metal apparatus (made of hollow steel)in a symmetrical O shape that looks like a suspended hula-hoop. Aerial hoops are usually available in single-point and double-point configurations.Which is better, a single-point or double-point hoop?Whether you select a single- or double-point lyra hoop depends on how you will use your lyra. Keep in mind:- Single-point lyra hoops tend to rotate much more, but they can be rigged in smaller spaces.- The rotation of single-point lyra hoops allows for additional moves.- Double-point hoops allow you to perform moves that tip forward and back with less lateral movement.- Double-point hoops allow less overall movement. They also allow for an extra range of poses to be performed on the top bar. However, due to the method of rigging, they do take up more vertical space.

What size is best for me?

We recommend measuring to make sure you get the right size hoop, but sizing on the hoops is a little flexible and up to personal preference. Bigger hoops are better for certain tricks and practice styles, and smaller hoops are better for others. Smaller hoops tend to be a little easier to work with, but most aerialists like the hoops to be big enough to sit in. To measure, you can sit in a chair and measure from your bottom to the top of your head and add two inches.

Measuring is important as people carry their height differently. But, as a general guideline, people under 5'0 will choose a 31 inch hoop, 5'1-5'3 may choose a 33 inch hoop, 5'3-5'5 may choose a 35 inch hoop, 5'5-5'7 may choose a 37 inch hoop, and 5'7-5'10 may choose a 39 inch hoop.

Safety Tips for Aerial Fitness:

- Use a mat under your apparatus
- Always practice with a spotter for flips and harder moves
- Learn from a professional. Books, YouTube, and videos are a great source, but we highly recommend attending an Aerial Class
- Always check your equipment before each use to make sure damage has not occurred at any time and that the rigging is secure
- We recommend that you tape your hoops for both hygiene issues and safety issues.
