What size is best for me?
One method of selecting an aerial hoop diameter is to sit in a chair and measure the distance from the seat of the chair to the top of the head, then add 2 inches.
Safety tips for aerial fitness:
- Always use a mat under your apparatus
- Always practice with a spotter for flips and new or harder moves
- Attend Lyra classes instructed by a professional.
- Always check your equipment before each use to make sure damage has not occurred at any time and that the rigging is secure
- Taping your hoop helps with better grip.
Which is better, a single point or double point hoop?
Whether you select a single or double point hoop depends on how you are going to use your lyra. Keep in mind:
- Single point hoops tend to rotate a lot more, but they can be rigged in smaller spaces.
- The rotation of single point hoops allow for additional moves
- Double point hoops allow you to perform moves that tip forward and back with a smaller amount of 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
