Lyra: Squirrels and Snakes

With Eliza Gaston

Come find new pathways to slither around the hoop. This workshop is all about interesting transitions: squirrel into and out of single hip hangs, discuss lyra theory to fine tune your technique, breakdown the ever-illusive beauty roll, so it is smooth as butter. This workshop is great for those wanting to challenge their movement patterns on lyra. We will leave time to improv and play!
