Why learn from the aerial hoop library?
Unlike random aerial hoop tutorials online, this library is designed to help you truly understand your movement. I’ve been training aerial hoop for 15 years and teaching it for 8, working with aerialists of all levels, from complete beginners to professional performers, across a wide range of strengths, abilities, and body types. My goal is to give you the knowledge, techniques, and coaching cues that took me years to figure out myself, so you can train smarter and progress faster. From the smallest adjustments to the key details that completely unlock a lyra trick, every tutorial is designed to help you better understand your movement and build confidence in the air. Train anytime, anywhere, and revisit tutorials as often as you need to build confidence and consistency in your aerial hoop practice. Each lyra tutorial contains:
- Technique and body positioning
- Common mistakes and fixes
- Strength requirements
- Coaching cues that unlock tricks faster
- Progressions and regressions
Whether your goal is to feel more confident in the hoop, finally unlock tricks you’ve been stuck on, improve your flow, or build strength and flexibility for more advanced aerial hoop skills, the library is designed to support your progress every step of the way.
"More than just tutorials"
This library is designed to help you truly understand aerial hoop technique not just copy tricks.
My aim is to provide you with all the knowledge that I’ve spent years figuring out, so you don’t have to. From those tiny tweaks to the big cues needed to unlock a trick. You have me in your pocket anytime, anywhere to help you achieve all your hoop dreams.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can beginners join the Aerial Hoop Library?
Yes, but I would highly recommend attending a month or two of classes first with a reputable aerial lyra teacher. I teach a weekly class at the Bendy Studo in Bristol, UK
What is included in the membership?
Members get access to aerial hoop tutorials, lyra flow combinations, spin technique training, conditioning exercises, flexibility sessions, warm ups, cooldowns, and new monthly content. Anywhere, anytime on your phone.
What is lyra?
Lyra or aerial lyra is the same as aerial hoop. I believe the Austrailians use the term lyra, whereas in the UK we call it aerial hoop. Also often confused with the spelling Ariel (which is the little mermaid, not what we do in the air). Aerial hoop or lyra is using a metal ring to perform acrobatics or dance in the air!
Is the library suitable for intermediate and advanced aerialists?
Definitely! There is a wide range of lyra tutorials in lots of different aerial hoop genres and styles to try.
How often is new content added?
New aerial hoop tutorials and training content are added every month.
Do you teach spinning aerial hoop?
Yes! The library includes spinning hoop technique, combinations, and drills to help you build confidence and control while spinning.
Are there conditioning and flexibility classes included?
There are conditioning drills and follow along cool downs but if you are looking to really improve your strength and flexibility I have The Anti-Gravity program which is a gym program designed for aerialists.
