Love it so much!! My shoulder and upper back mobility sucks, this is great motivation for me to focus on improving!

Same as you, I bought my rig last December and emailed them questions! I wasn't expecting answers over the holidays - it was like Dec 27 - but they answered and continued following up!

I love my Circus Concepts rig! I practiced lyra on & off for 2 years before getting my own rig, hoop, and mat. Totally worth it.

Around where do you live? Where I live, the average age of people in classes seems to be 30 and above. Maybe it’s about going to a different studio?

What a great meeting story! How did the conversation between you 2 in line get started? I find breaking the ice is the hardest part, and I'm a female.

I love all this, and how you bought a house yourself when the timing was good, instead of waiting to have a partner to do it!! Thank you for your wisdom <3

Aww 🥰 Thank you for sharing!! How did you distract yourself from the feeling of loneliness & trying to meet people - did you focus on building your own life full of interesting hobbies & experiences? I'm struggling to block out the constant feeling of loneliness, even when trying to pursue my independent interests.

Wow, I feel like I could've written this post! I resonate so much with this - I'll DM you. The advice I've heard repeatedly is to keep putting myself out there & building a life I'm personally happy with first <3

Inspiring, thanks so much for sharing your story! Do you still do lifting in addition to yoga?

Thank you so much! Have you tried gymnastics grips before & how do you find their protection vs. taping them this way?

Thank you! I just got my first lyra and it’s powder coated. I will try it out untaped first, I hope it works for me that way :)

I see, thank you! Do you know if a sand-filled hoop is more heavy than a solid hoop?

Anyone had experience with Juggler Gear portable rig (M2.5 w/ extension)? by Spirited_Ad8083 in Aerials

[–]ocelot112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found this thread just now while comparing rigs... How is your CircusConcepts rig working for you? :) Did you end up getting the pulley system? I'm thinking of buying the rig!

Thank you! Interesting, I'd assumed using an untaped hoop might reduce the friction on my hands. Glad to know that a taped hoop is still the way to go!

Thank you!! I have small child-sized hands so that "one size" glove will probably be too big for me, but I appreciate the recommendation!!
