Hula Girl replied to Laura's discussion 'When/where do you hoop?'

Favourite time and place to hoop? All the time and everywhere! I usually get up and do a hoop workout. Then have breakfast. Then do some hoopdance/routine practice followed by stretching. I have a hooping room in my house which isn't huge…

Hi everyone I only discovered that grown-ups could hoop a week ago and since then I have bought 3 hoops (one large and two smaller twins) and I have practiced every day. I am basically working on everything but my main focus is getting it from my…

Hi Suzanne, Leg Hooping !!! A whole new subject... :-) The main thing you need is lots of time, and patience. Many people will tell you it can take six months or more to learn how to succesfully get the hoop back up from the knees to the waist,…

What are you working on?

In my series of never-ending questions for fellow hoopers.... :) My question for today is:What are you working on?It could be a particular trick/s, style, or an extension of hooping (e.g. generosity, compassion, sharing)...?I always have at least one trick which confounds me at any one time, so I won't list those ;) At the moment, I'm trying to develop more of a flow, making my hooping more of a hoopdance, rather than just a series of tricks... I'm trying to observe other hoopers and loosen up…See More

Wow. I've seen this video before but every time I watch it I find it so amazing. I find sustained spinning hard. I just feel soooooooooo dizzy afterwards and end up wishing I hadn't tried it. Lol.

Heidi - no, sadly I wasn't there! I got the video link from Shakti Sunfire... The "hoop" the lady uses in this video is known as a Cyr Wheel, which I think is made of aluminium with a thin rubber coating? Search online for "Cyr…

Sue Wilkinson replied to Laura's discussion 'Favourite hoopers?'

Ann, Beth and Bonnie of the Hoop Path are three of the hoopers I watch with joy. And I love Sharna's contortions with the hoop. I think Beth is the ultimate hooper for flow and fitting with the music. She really becomes one with what she's…

Sue Wilkinson replied to Laura's discussion 'Favourite hoops?'

I have so many hoops I don't know where to start! I drag them all out for others to play with when I hold sessions in the village or in Leamington so they come in handy, but I keep a few favorites by for me. I started hooping with a mammoth…

I teach diet & fitness classes normally but now have incorporated some hooping sessions for variety which are going down really well. I would love to take part in the Hoop-Girl training but am, sadly, unavailable on the dates that she is over here.
