During the session the teacher will work in bringing body awareness for the practice of aerial disciplines together with going through the basics such as climbing, straddling and working on the much needed strength to get flying.

Being on the air requires strength and flexibility, but also safety principles that we will embed from the very first practice.

With this lesson we finally bring the beautiful geometry and dynamic possibilities of aerial hoop (Lyra) into the Aerials Amsterdam studio.

 

During 1.5 hours our experienced teacher will guide you to get familiar and eventually master this technique.

 

The lesson starts with a group warm-up, followed by stretching and core exercises. Afterwards there will be technique exercises and creative sequences on the air adjusted for the level of the students.

​

This lesson is designed to gain more flexibility in all major joint and muscle groups which is very important for both athletic performance and the ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

 

If you are doing Aerial Silks, Hoop, Pole dance, handstands, dance, martial arts or other disciplines this is a perfect class to complement your training and enhance your performance.

 

Performing different stretch techniques will not only improve your front and box splits, chest openers and back bends, leg holds and balances but will also decrease the risk of injury, enhance your posture and reduce muscle tension and joint stress.

​

Each person is taught to stretch in a way that suits his or her needs and lifestyle.

During this lesson the teacher will continue to work on strength and flexibility while developing intermediate combos and transitions in the air.

​

This lesson is for students that already have gone through the beginners A and B or practiced aerial silks for a longer period of time.

In order to join we ask that you are familiar with different ways of climbing on the silks, footlock, back-cross, crab-lock, hip-lock, straddle and different drops.

During one hour and a half we will be focusing on styling elements for the practice of aerial acrobatics.
