Lyra playing cards

  • Holly Smith

Aerial hoop (also known as Lyra) is a form of aerial fitness that is taught at my local pole studio. After illustrating a deck of pole playing cards (see other project) there was demand for a Lyra deck as well.

The cards can be used for more traditional card games but also can be used to help Lyrists with their training. They can be used as prompts to generate ideas for flow, form random move combinations, and to help beginners learn the names of iconic tricks.
They are stocked by multiple online stores in the UK and Europe. So far I have sold over 1,200 packs.
