The Lady in the Moon and Chariot Leg Calibration On Aerial Hoop is one of the more difficult leg calibrations. Not only do the legs and butt have to work really hard, but the body also needs to lean back and forth to maintain balance while moving. Most students find one direction easier than the other and it is definitely OK to focus on the easier direction first. This tutorial will cover doing the leg calibration in each direction. There is also a two handed pathway that is much easier. It can be found in the variation section below.
