What was your Ah Ha moment with hooping?

My experience was when I was hooping to Beruit in a very small area... too small even for horizontal on body hooping. All of the sudden the restriction of the space transformed into inspiration. I moved in unison with the music in ways I had never moved before. The movement was fluid and creative. I felt " tapped into the universal flow" for lack of a clearer expression. It is an intense connection between my hoop, the song, and myself is inexplicable.

Pure potentiality, peace, and joy.. AH HA!

(Usually, when there are "restrictions" this feeling comes more naturally. I am sure it is the resulting intention and concentration of the situation.)

My aha moment was a night about three weeks after I started playing around with a hoop. My fiance set up our laptop with some computer speakers in our backyard and I spent the whole night hooping outside. After a little while, I just got the flow... All of a sudden, hooping to the music became effortless and I was able to dance inside it. My body started to understand the hoop and they became one. It was magical.
I had a similar Ah Ha! moment! I just moved into a new place and before I had moved all my furniture in the dining room it was a perfect little space to hoop in- I couldn't do a lot of off the body stuff (which is usually my go to when I'm on a hooping roll) so I found myself playing with a lot more breaks and stalls which I have been slacking on.... It wasn't until I was restricted that I was able to feel the flow!
I love hooping because I have so many of those aha moments it's hard to keep track! My latest one was figuring out the three-beat weave. It's catapulted the rest of my hooping into overdrive :D
Love that move!
That sounds beautiful... <3

Mine was a night when I was upset and having a hard time being around family. I had just moved back in and felt sorta trapped and a lot of old memories were coming up for me. So I grabbed my iPod and a hoop I rarely use and went outside. Something in me let loose and I was able to dance with my hoop, not perform or do tricks, but free flowing expression and full form dancing with it... I have never been able to let loose an dance like that let alone while hooping. I discovered a new curiosity and passion for a flow Id been searching for for months. That moment is in every spin of my hoop since.

I had a moment like this too.

I was outside on my street it's a dead end road. Theres this old building and a field at the end surrounded by trees and in my opinion, It looks pretty. Anywho,It was raining a slow rain, a peaceful rain and I had my hoop with me and suddenly, this strange african song came into my head and as I hooped to this song I was graceful and I had flow and my movements matched  the song and it was just awesome feeling. And it was md summer so the green of the tree and the scenery and everything was just in unison. A true "Ah ha" moment for me. :)
