I’ve been cross-training on Lyra for the past year or so. I love it because it gives me a new challenge that is different from pole and reminds me to be patient with myself.

I recently acheived a cool new move on lyra called the jade. This is a move that I struggle with on the pole sometimes, so being able to do it on the hoop was a tremendous accomplishment. It lets me know that I have the ability in my body, I just need to find the right angle, depending on the apparatus.

So here’s to trying new things!
