Intro to Flares

Lyra and Sling

This workshop will introduce flare pathways both under the bar and into the hoop. We will start with a ground warmup and do some drills in the air to refine your technique. Bring a way to film yourself - we will have in-workshop video review so you can take breaks and let your body recover. Come hydrated and bring some ginger/ peppermint/ candy along as well!

Prerequisites: Unassisted entry to the hoop and a 20 second long hang from the top bar or under the bar. A straddle inversion is needed for a flare, but progressions are available for participants that are still working on their straddle up.

Required Materials - a way to differentiate your legs (different colored socks, a scrunchie, etc) plus a phone for in-workshop video review. Ginger or peppermint may also be helpful for nausea
