The Hooping Kind

01/04/2023

Due to personal reasons and change of circumstances I've decided to pause classes for a bit, so there will be no classes for the foreseeable.

Thanks to all who have come to classes and hooped with me since I started teaching hula hoop! And many thanks to The Together Centre for letting me hire out their lovely hall ❤️

I am still making hoops so if you'd like one for hooping at home, send me a message! 📨

Keep your eyes peeled here for any updates on classes coming back!

It's hula hoop day tomorrow!! Who's coming to learn some cool tricks?

This video was a routine me and my hoop flowmie Ruth made up together ages ago, during the lockdown I think! We each took turns coming up with a trick and added it on to create a little flow routine. It was loads of fun! ❤️

DM me to book in, Sunday 12th/19th February, 5:30pm-6:30pm, just £6! A wide range of hula hoops are provided, just bring water!

Thought I'd start documenting my progress with this trick, a 360 turning 3 beat weave thing! 😆

I've been working on it for a bit, and it's going to take a while longer yet 😃 My hoop instructor Becky is teaching it to me in parts, and I'm practicing weekly with breaks in-between, because rest periods are where the magic happens ✨

So this is the first and second parts I've been taught mashed together, which I want to master before moving on to the next turn. Watch this space! 👀

I managed to have a go of the static hula hoop thing that's been all the craze at the moment. I've been wanting to have a play as people have asked me about it and having not had a go, I didn't feel like I could bring any valid insights into the conversation.

They're not really a thing within the hula hoop community because, well it's not really a hula hoop. Personally it's not for me because I'm a hooper and immediately I started wanting to move it up to my shoulders and down to my legs and play, which you can't do with it stuck to your waist. I know after a while I'd be bored.

But in all honesty, pre-hooper me probably would have got it because I do like the idea of taking links off as you lose the fat. It's a good visual that is helpful to many.

Then again, hooper me also says because it's static it's only working one set of muscles continuously, whereas a hula hoop will target a lot more muscles as it moves up and down your body naturally, therefore giving you a better workout and more bang for your buck.

But at the end of the day I'm a massive advocate in people moving, no matter what that looks like. As long as you're moving and having fun doing it, then that's all that matters! What one person enjoys doing, another may not, and that's okay. The important thing is consistency, and to get that the activity needs to be FUN for you! ❤️

Another great evening at The Together Centre playing with the hula hoops!

Sometimes learning tricks takes time, sometimes you can just smash something out straight away. That's why hooping is so amazing - challenging but in an achievable and fun way! ❤️

Next class is 12th Feb, come and join us and see what it's all about!
