The name “Moon Bunny” comes from a long campaign to make Lyra classes more inclusive. One of the first Lyra moves you will learn is traditionally called “Man on the Moon” but we see no reason for aerial moves to have genders. Our instructors instead refer to this move as “Moon Bunny” to continue our mission to be welcoming for all genders, body types, and levels.

The studio name also pays homage to the founder’s East Asian heritage, where the moon is often associated with rabbits.
