Laila Buck-AdamsMeet Laila - Our Lyra instructor.
Laila started her journey on silks in November 2024, but Lyra claimed her from her very first performance. With over a year in the air, she's drawn to hoop's raw strength, circular momentum, and the way it demands both control and surrender. Off the apparatus, she works in nursing - leading home care teams and moving through the intensity of Labor & Delivery unit. She can't wait to show her students they are capable of more than they think! |
