Been pretty much a dancer all my life , become disabled in 92. Now I'm 70 and want to do something even if it's going to a playground and sit on a swing. Hope this gave you a smile. Your adorable. Thanks for good memories.

I turn 50 next week and have been doing aerial for about 6 weeks and loving it . It's taking me longer than the rest of the class but I have a go. My instructor tells me to watch your videos for tips. Your amazing. I hope to be 5% as good as you and I will be happy
Hello! This video is meant for those who are learning aerial hoop, it is not an instructional video, it is more to help people remember the names we use and more of a reminder. I have put in the notes that it is best to attend lessons with a professional and not try this on your own as it is dangerous. I uploaded this video as I couldn't find anything like this when I was learning and it would have helped me so thought why not try and help others :o)
Hello,I've learned the aerial hoop for just six months in Taiwan .I fall in love with this sport. It makes me stronger . The movements are so beautiful. Thank you for your videos helping me learn more .

Thanks for this! Very thorough. Just a tip for those watching: make sure your hands (while holding the lyra) are brought directly under the point before mounting. This will prevent it from swinging. The further from the point, the more you will get the unwanted swinging.
I’ve just started doing aerial (had 4 lessons so far) and wanted to set some goals, but I didn’t really know any of the poses, so this video was really helpful! Now I have a list of which ones I want to work towards 😊 thank you!
So so helpful. I just bought my first lyra (double-tab) and feel so limited. I'm set to do some lessons to broaden my vocabulary but this video is just...invaluable. Thank you for taking the time to film, edit and share.
Ran out of space... The course is put together for professional fitness instructors. Mainly pole dancers as most have the strength to start with, they attend a weekend course then have up to a year to complete the exam which is to teach an aerial hoop lesson and they are marked on it. They also need to be able to demonstrate each move to show they are able to safely excute each move to a high standard. I really enjoyed the courses and they were a couple of the best courses I have attended xx
HI- I started taking aerial classes at the age of 39. I have no dance or gymnastics background, its definitely more difficult for me and takes longer to learn new moves than those who have that background, having said that if I can learn it- you can too! BTW I'm doing it because it so much fun and have no intention of performing!

Emily I practiced all your moves and I think that I can go to the next level, but for that I need your help haha, I am going to be very glad if you do another tutorial with intermediate and advance tricks. Thank you!
EmilysPoleFitness Oh also! This isn't a tutorial, it's just a guide to help you all out :) I won't be posting anything crazy but I suggest you take up lessons with an instructor if you haven't already so you have some guidance by a professional face to face :) xxx
This is fantastic! I've just started classes and I'm putting a hoop in my living room (we have a girder that our hammock is hanging from already so why not put a hoop in too?) and this video is going to help me unbelievable amounts while practising in between classes. Thank you so much for the instructions & the very clear way you enter & exit the moves. Beautiful!
All the moves in this video and many more are in the Aerial Hoop Manual Volume 1. Although they are covered in the book, I'm glad to hear you say you wouldn't learn certain moves without an instructor! The manual is meant to be a supplemental resource. :)
I'm 12 but I had 3 teachers the first started learning when he was 23-24 my second teacher was a gymnast before but started aerial when she was 23-24 too and my latest teacher started learning when she was 26 (I think) without any background. And all of them are amazing for people who started learning in such a age so I'm pretty sure you can start now too!.
Just discovered there is an aerial place where i live..... You are amazing... Thanks so much for this.... willl deffo check out other vids once I start classes. What an inspiration!
Watched this so many times now - there are moves they teach in the class but by the time I get to practice them at home silly things like hips in front or behind the bar can go clear out of my head so your tutorial has been a brilliant reference. The one I still can't do is the crescent moon - every time I try it hurts like heck as the hoop catches just between the legs - ouch!!!! :-/ xxxx
Hey Abby! It does seem a bit nuts but I think the idea around it is to educate people safe practice, not to become an aerialist over night. I really admire what aerialists can do and I know I still have a lot to learn, I teach what I know in a safe environment. I'd rather teach my students safely then them go somewhere else who doesn't (there is still a lot of un-safe practice going on in the pole world as you can imagine!). xx
Thank you so much- this is such an excellent video- clear- precise- and so much material- this is a years worth of lessons in one video- I hope that you are getting something from this! Much appreciated.
Hello! Yes of course it is! We teach complete beginners aerial hoop, you build up your strength over time. The hoop can be lowered too if people struggle to lift themselves to start with but you would be surprised at what you can do :o)
Excellent demonstrations! I tried once or twice previously but the instructor seemed impatient; your demos are wonderful-- all achievable with some time and practice.
Stale Cupcakes lots of people wear shorts under their legging or two pairs of leggings I'm not sure if she does tHat but practice so your body doesn't believe it is foreign also works
Thanks for this Emily. This is sooooooo good. I'm getting back into it and have notes but it was like reading ikea bookcase instructions at times. this has refreshed my memory well.
This has been very helpful, I've been doing aerial hoop for about 2 years and I've taught myself almost everything know on hoop from other performances I've found on youtube so I've never learned the proper names for them. It would be great if you could do one with advanced moves too.
Thank you! Yes I am going to do an intermediate/ advanced video soon... training a lot for competitions at the mo so haven't had time but will eventually :o)

Another easy way out of star in the bar is to bring one leg to the other side of the hoop and push down with your front leg so you turn up into wineglass. It's one of my favourite transitions
Hi, there are loads of exercises you can do. I found chin ups helped but I was already quite strong as I was pole dancing for 5 years before I started hoop. But any arm strength building and core strength exercises will all help towards aerial work.
I have Rebekah Leech's aerial silks book which is amazing but got to a certain point where there was no way I would try certain moves without an instructor. I prefer videos as I can see more of what is going on but all resources help. I didn't know about her lyra book, I will definitely look into getting myself a copy!
Hi Rebekah! Thanks for your reply :o) I love your silks book and still need to get your hoop book too! I have been having regular silks lessons lately so will start referring to your books again soon as have a better understanding but they are an excellent resource! xx
I just bought the hoop and I just can't wait to learn doing those things! I'm also pole dancing for a year so It probably will be helpful becouse I just saw many similar moves on your video :D can't wait omg I want my hoop :D
This is awesome!! I have been hoping for something like this and you've done it! :D Thank you so much! Perfect for recapping moves and little variations that I didn't know about. I'm so excited to review all of these! Thanks again! (But I will also be super excited when you do a int/advanced one too ;) )
So beautiful and so helpful Thank-you! My hands always start sweating and getting slippery quite fast though, and I can't use the magnesium in a middle of a performance! :( any tips pleasee!!
Hello Emily, I just saw your video and was wondering if you can tell me what do I need and where to buy the lyra and accesories for installation to be able to set it at home . thank you!
I buy all my crash mats from Ceetex, very reasonable prices and loads of different sized mats to choose from. There is a link in the video description :o)

What a great show of what is done on the hoop. Really helpful, though I know it's harder than you make it look.

I really need to get on this! I have been meaning to do this for MONTHS now. I will eventually... super busy but it will happen :) xxx

I love this video! You don't get many people slowly showing you poses and also telling you the name of it. Just a great video!! Thanks a ton :)
I'm 12 but I had 3 teachers the first started learning when he was 23-24 my second teacher was a gymnast before but started aerial when she was 23-24 too and my latest teacher started learning when she was 26 (I think) without any background.

Loved this! Very clear and easy to follow for an aerial hoop beginner - and love your pole videos!
Thank you x
Just discovered there is an aerial place where i live..... You are amazing... Thanks so much for this.... willl deffo check out other vids once I start classes. What an inspiration!
Thank you so much, really means a lot xx

wow i’ve been doing hoop for a year now and i’ve learnt most of these but there are many that i’m looking forward to learning
I'm literally learning these moves in order!!! Thank you!!!!
Hey Abby! It does seem a bit nuts but I think the idea around it is to educate people safe practice, not to become an aerialist over night. I really admire what aerialists can do and I know I still have a lot to learn, I teach what I know in a safe environment. I'd rather teach my students safely then them go somewhere else who doesn't (there is still a lot of un-safe practice going on in the pole world as you can imagine!). xx
Wow you look like a graceful beautiful bird perched on the hoop. 💗
wow thank you for this video, where I train we don't use names for the moves and they are not taught so well defined! thanx a million fro this!
Just want to say thankyou...thankyou soo much. I bought a hoop and this tutorial has inspired me so much. Your excellent!!
Thank you so much- this is such an excellent video- clear- precise- and so much material- this is a years worth of lessons in one video- I hope that you are getting something from this! Much appreciated.
Thank you. This might be something else new I try. I have been doing aerial yoga for about 4-5 months now.
Hello! Yes of course it is! We teach complete beginners aerial hoop, you build up your strength over time. The hoop can be lowered too if people struggle to lift themselves to start with but you would be surprised at what you can do :o)
Thank you so much! I always ask too many questions in class but this clears up all my confusion !
Just signed up for a class after being inspired by your videos
Excellent demonstrations! I tried once or twice previously but the instructor seemed impatient; your demos are wonderful-- all achievable with some time and practice.
I buy all my aerial equipment from Firetoys and crash mats from Ceetex, I have added links in the video description above :o)
How do you stay in hip hold for more than a second without crying:(
Stale Cupcakes cause she has practiced
Stale Cupcakes
lots of people wear shorts under their legging or two pairs of leggings
I'm not sure if she does tHat but practice so your body doesn't believe it is foreign also works
Love This!!! Thanks Emily- What a Gift!!!!
Thanks for this Emily. This is sooooooo good. I'm getting back into it and have notes but it was like reading ikea bookcase instructions at times. this has refreshed my memory well.
thank you for your amazing tutorials!
Fantastic! Great for reviewing and seeing different variations of moves for when I'm practicing on my own. Thank you!
This has been very helpful, I've been doing aerial hoop for about 2 years and I've taught myself almost everything know on hoop from other performances I've found on youtube so I've never learned the proper names for them. It would be great if you could do one with advanced moves too.
