Meet The Team
Laura - Director
Laura began her Aerial Hoop and Silks journey in 2013 training and performing at local events.
Hoop swiftly captured her heart and she began instructing in 2015 focusing on Hoop/Lyra as her main discipline. After performing at an array of events from corporate to charity up until 2019, Laura decided to focus on teaching and coaching the next generation of aerialists. Lyra with Laura, which created digital content and in person classes for aerialists, was founded in 2022 and 2024 has seen the birth of our newest passion project,
The Aerial Hearts Collective.
With her growing academic studies in Sport and Exercise Psychology, she hopes to continue helping you bring your full potential to life with a safe place to try something new - all whilst bringing a bucketfull of joy!
Orly - Aerial Silks, Sling & Youth
Orly is an aerialist specialising in Silks, exploring Rope and dabbling in Hoop, teaching and performing at events all over the UK. Orly loves the gravity defying freedom of the aerial arts and being able to share them with students. She first started teaching 10 years ago and hopes to continue for many more! "For me, one of the keys to teaching is understanding what each person wants from their aerial practice and trying to adapt what I can offer to them accordingly"
Bene - Aerial Hoop
With a background in Classical Ballet, Bene brings that effortless class to her Hoop practice. Starting her journey in France 2021, as a way to try something new and make friends in a new country, she quickly fell in love with the unique mix of strength and grace that the Aerial Arts brings. Her classes will positively encourage you to explore your strength, flexibility and creativity. Bene believes in fostering an environment where everyone can feel empowered by meeting their appropriate edge with kindness.
