HOOP YOUR WAY TO HEALTH & HAPPINESS™

Welcome to HulaHoopla®

Hoopdance is an expressive movement combining dancing and hooping. It is a fun way to get fit while working all the muscles of the body, improving balance, flexibility and coordination, relieving stress, pumping up your energy, awakening your senses and unblocking your chi. You will tone up, slim down and get a great cardio workout!

That toy store hoop you grew up with has gone through some major evolutionary changes in the past few decades. Adult-sized hoops are heavier and larger in diameter. The size and weight allows the hoop to spin slower, making it easier to control and learn on. It's pure childhood joy in adult size.

Welcome to my world of bliss. -- The Hoopanista™

Hooping at Buses by the Bridge

Holy cow! Made a very special journey to Lake Havasu, Arizona this past weekend to be with friends and Volkswagens (by other passion!). Lots of hoopers down there too so I got to do what I love and got a little TV time on the local station. Thank you TV45!

NEW YEAR - NEW HOOP!

For night time play and performances, I like to use an LED hoop. Well, I don't make LED hoops and often get asked where to purchase one. There are so many great companies who make quality products. But I just bought an Astral Hoop Atomic Pro because I saw one at HoopCamp and it blew my mind!!! Check out their website and buy one of their hoops!! And if you do, please use this code: http://astralhoops.com/r/Hoopanista. Sort of like saying, "Tell them I sent you!"

I need to tip my hat to LED Heady Hoops for my very first LED hoop. I have since gifted that hoop to another hooper. I purchased my next two Trick Concepts hoops through The Spinsterz. Those are my workhorses. They go camping with me and have been to Burning Man twice. If you're considering an LED, do your research and talk to other hoopers before making your choice. It's a personal and exhilarating step in the hooping world.

NEW YEAR - NEW CLASSES - NEW HOOP JAM
