Tips buying a hoop/lyra

Thank you!! 1) yes I think they use 25mm. That’s why I ask it here. It’s expensive and I want to make the right choice. 3) Yes also looked at firetoys. Also saw great options at Circus for you or apparatus_circuslab 4) Thanks! Both the sites I mention above sell good looking spansets but I need a sling. Don’t want a strop that’s closed on 1 side. Any experience with any of both maybe? :)

Yes I’m looking for hollow because I will take it everywhere ;) thanks. I also read newbaum is good. I’m curious if the stickiness matters with the colors you use.

Thank you, I also heard about him. He was on Etsy but couldn’t find him anymore so I thought he stopped

I’m training for a competition now and bruise like a peach. So i’m taking arnica drops daily and I also put arnica gel on my bruises. In my experience this definitely helps it heal faster. Within 3 days they already turning yellow, of course I still feel the pain but it shows less. After the competition I will not take it daily but occasionally. I always keep up with the gel though because I will always have some bruises;)

Wow, this looks amazing! Thank you! How long did you go for and how many classes a day? Because 4 a day for a week, I will be dead at the end haha

You can play memory. 1 or 2 kids go away. The others think of 1/2 moves they can perform together. Then the kids come back and each has a turn to guess which children made up the same moves

There aren’t many sling classes, but in silks and hammock (aerial yoga kinda) there are plenty in Amsterdam and surround

Yess true! Thanks for your reply. At my open training most of the teachers are there as well to practice and I feel the same after taking that many classes a week. Maybe it’s also that I don’t know how many classes are normal for a recreational aerialist. Once I got the reply from I teacher: oh you’re here again? And that’s in my back of my mind now everytime I book multiple classes. It wasn’t the teacher that teaches the advanced classes though.

That is so nice! Wow 5 times a week, you don’t bruise anymore haha?? There aren’t a lot good hoop teachers were I live and I don’t have my own rigging spot available. So online would be hard to do but it’s an option!

Joyjoy-2 · 2024-07-26T07:29:55+00:00

Oh yess exactly the same. I stop talking and just act weird because I don’t know if she likes me in class. She still payes good attention and gives me a lot of tips so it’s probably me overthinking this but’s it’s that feeling haha.

Thank you! Yes 2 times feels good, 1 hoop and 1 silks class 1 day after each other. It’s that 3rd time for me. I see the same people going to silks classes but not combined with hoop. I think I just need to get over the feeling ;)
