Kristal had always been intrigued by aerial hoop or lyra but felt apprehensive due to her perceived lack of strength and flexibility. She feared that starting something new at her age would be challenging and intimidating.
Challenges:
Self-Doubt: Believed she wasn’t physically capable of performing aerial movements.
Fear of Judgment: Worried about being the least experienced in a class setting.
Physical Limitations: Concerned about her flexibility and strength levels.
Tigermom Approach:
Personalized Introduction: Kristal’s first class Intro to aerial hoop, where she received individualized attention to ensure she felt comfortable and supported.
Progressive Skill Development: Intro Aerial Hoop classes were designed to support Kristal to progress at her own pace, focusing on building strength and flexibility gradually.
Supportive Community: The inclusive environment ensured Kristal felt welcomed and encouraged by both instructors and fellow students.
Results:
Increased Confidence: Kristal began to feel passionate about movement and exercise practices that were not about losing weight or associated with having a certain body type.
Physical Transformation: She gained confidence through repeating strength and flexibility movements, mastering poses she once thought impossible.
Community Engagement: Kristal became an integral part of the studio community, forming lasting friendships and supporting others on their journeys.
“This is the first time that I have felt passionate about movement and exercise practices that are not about losing weight or associated with having a certain body type. I showed up, tried new things, gained strength, and listened to my body when I needed to rest and refocus. I am so excited to take more classes, to get stronger and learn more!”
Training lyra at Tiger Mom’s helped me fall in love with myself again, building up my confidence and freedom of expression.
The best part of training is the community: it’s one of the most welcoming environments I’ve been a part of, and I am so grateful to have made some really close friends in the process. We truly love to see each other grow and shine.
A good amount of my personal and physical growth happened at the Tigermom Studio. I’ve been attending aerial hoop classes here for over a year consistently. My confidence, my body, my strength, and mental health has changed for the better.
All the teachers Carolyn, Krystal, Caroline, and Alexus, are all phenomenal lyra instructors. You leave each class a better version of yourself! I am so happy I found this gem!
Training aerial hoop classes at Tiger Mom has completely changed my life, my relationship with my body, and my relationship with movement. Over the span of the last two years, I went from someone who had never had any sort of consistent movement practice to someone who can confidently do a performance or freestyle on aerial hoop. Best decision of my life!
I love being a part of the Tigermom community! The aerial hoop or lyra instruction is very thoughtful and precise. The community is supportive and encouraging. Such a fun way to stay fit, mentally recharge and challenge myself.
Amazing flexibility class of much needed stretching with an attentive instructor who adapts the stretch per student’s body and need. The stretching can change based on what the students wanted to focus on at the time. Forward fold, hamstrings, straddle, quads, toe point, splits, you name it and the instructor will help you stretch!
What a wonder experience, EVERYONE was friendly and helpful. Carolyn and all the other teachers are wonderful instructors that makes every aerial hoop move achievable.
