Aerial Hoop

WHAT IS AERIAL HOOP?

​

The aerial hoop (also known as the lyra, aerial ring or cerceau/cerceaux) is a circular steel apparatus (resembling a hula hoop) suspended from the ceiling, on which circus artists may perform aerial acrobatics. It can be used static, spinning, or swinging and mainly balancing.

Balance is an ability to maintain the line of gravity (vertical line from centre of mass) of a body within the base of support with minimal postural sway. 

Maintaining balance requires coordination of input from multiple sensory systems including the vestibular, somatosensory, and visual systems.
