Testimonials

Lyra 30.jpg

Samm Haney

“Several of my students have expressed finding the gym and classes to be a sanctuary where they forget about their stress for a while and can focus on something rewarding for themselves. In a nutshell, aerial hoop class is about letting yourself learn to become strong, beautiful, and confident. It’s about allowing yourself to struggle with challenges, and giving yourself permission to break your own ceiling.”

ABOUT THE STUDIO

Our flooring is made out of carpet-bonded foam for soft landings. We have lots of safety mats which are used for tumbling and standing acrobatics, and occasionally for building forts. Our mats can be rolled up and moved away for parties, events, or dance socials.
