The Maya Method: Aerial Hoop

12 weeks. Zero experience needed! Start exactly where you are.

The Maya Method is our 12-week structured Beginner Aerial Hoop programme, designed to take you from your very first hoop class through to confidently performing a range of beginner mounts, sits, shapes, transitions and combinations.

You'll learn the foundations properly, practise them regularly and gradually add new skills as your strength, confidence and technique develop.

By the end of the 12 weeks, our aim is for you to look back at your first class and be genuinely surprised by how much you've learned.

WHAT COULD I ACHIEVE IN 12 WEEKS?

Everyone learns differently, which is why the Maya Method isn’t about expecting every person to achieve the same move at the same time. Our programme gives you clear, structured progressions while allowing your instructor to adapt skills to how you learn, move and progress best.

Across your 12 weeks, you'll work towards:

✨ Learning different ways to mount the hoop with increasing confidence and control
✨ Learning a range of beginner sits, shapes and poses both underneath and inside the hoop
✨ Learning transitions that allow you to move smoothly from one position to another
✨ Creating combinations by linking individual hoop skills together
✨ Becoming more comfortable moving in and around the hoop, rather than learning isolated tricks
✨ Building your grip, upper-body and core strength as your body adapts to aerial training
✨ Improving your coordination and body awareness as aerial movement starts to feel more natural
✨ Understanding fundamental Aerial Hoop technique so you're ready to continue progressing safely after the course

HOW DOES IT WORK?

You'll attend the same 60-minute Aerial Hoop class every week for 12 weeks, alongside the same small group.

We'll introduce new moves, revisit previous ones and gradually begin linking everything together into combinations.

You'll have plenty of opportunities to repeat things too - because we don't expect you to nail something once and immediately move on!

And because everybody progresses differently, your instructor can give you variations and individual progressions where appropriate.

You don't have to keep asking yourself:

Which class should I book? Am I good enough for the next level? What should I be practising?

We've already mapped out your first 12 weeks for you.

  • 12 x structured 60-minute Aerial Hoop classes - Your dedicated class every week, with each session building on what you've learned before.
