Hi everyone. My name is Lydia, I am 49 years old, and I am a hoop fitness instructor and massage therapist. I started hooping at home seven years ago, just for fun, and quickly fell in love with how it made me feel — strong, free, playful, and completely in the moment. A year later, I trained as an instructor so I could share that feeling with others, and I’ve been hooping (and smiling!) ever since.
Hooping is such a beautiful mix of movement and mindfulness. It’s fun, it lifts your mood, and it connects you with your inner child — who doesn’t want that feeling? Like so many women, I juggle a lot in life, but when I pick up my hoop, everything else just falls away.
My Friday morning class is one of the highlights of my week. It’s not just about exercise — it’s about the amazing group of women who come along, from their 30s right through to their late 60s. They inspire me constantly with their progress, laughter, and energy. They really do fill my cup.
Hooping is for everyone — no matter your age or experience. It’s fantastic for building strength, coordination, and confidence, and it does wonders for your overall wellbeing. Don’t be afraid to give it a go — we all started somewhere, and I promise you, it’s so much fun. 💞
My class is on Friday morning's at 9:15am at the Te Kowhai Hall.
There is also another class on Monday at 6:00pm at the Te Kowhai Hall - your instructor is Belinda Jones.
