Class Spotlight
Lyra Hoop
Spin and pose on a suspended steel hoop — graceful, athletic and endlessly creative.
About Lyra Hoop
The Lyra Aerial Hoop combines strength, flexibility and stunning poses on a suspended hoop. Students learn how to maneuver their bodies through and around the hoop, creating beautiful shapes and sequences. Both inside and outside the lyra become a stage for poses, spins, balances and dramatic drops.
Lyra is approachable for newcomers and rewarding for life. It builds extraordinary upper-body strength while showcasing your artistry — from playful musical pieces to powerful, performance-ready choreography.
What to wear
Leggings and a fitted top that covers the backs of your knees and underarms. Bare feet preferred. Long hair tied back, no jewelry.

Lyra Fluidity
Low and spiny, this class focuses on developing choreography. Students should be interested in challenging lyra-based choreography and lengthy flows. Comfort working on a single aerial point and the ability to complete an unassisted in-air inversion are required. Slightly more challenging than Level 1.
Intermediate / Advanced
Lyra Level 2 / 3
Hocks, splits, layouts and dynamic spins with momentum. Drops, beats and transitional sequences for choreography work.
Workshop
Lyra Connectivity & Flow
A periodic special event focused on linking lyra elements into seamless, performance-ready sequences. Watch the schedule for the next 'Ography Edition'.

Booking FAQ
How booking Lyra Hoop works
How do I book a class?
Use the live widget above (or open it in a new tab). Create a free fitDEGREE account, pick a Lyra Hoop class on the date you want, and check out. You'll get an email confirmation immediately.
Which class should I pick?
New to Lyra Hoop? Start with the lowest level offered (Beginner or Level 1). If you have prior experience, check the class description for prerequisites — or contact us and we'll point you to the right fit.
The widget shows no availability — what now?
That usually means the next week's schedule hasn't been released yet, or the class you want is full. Open the booking site in a new tab to view a wider date range and join the waitlist — we release spots regularly.
Can I cancel or reschedule?
Yes — cancel up to 12 hours before class through your fitDEGREE account for a full credit back. Late cancels and no-shows forfeit the class.
Do I need a package or can I drop in?
Both work. Single drop-ins are available, and class packs / memberships save money if you plan to come regularly. See our pricing page for current options.
Still stuck?
Email or text us through the contact page and we'll book you in manually. We're happy to help first-timers get set up.
