From personal experience...isos take A LOT of practice. I spent about 3 months one winter getting them to look okay...and that was only in one direction. Be patient with yourself, it's a tough move!

Allyssa is right.  I am still learning and feel like I never get it right after 5 months of a lot of practice. If you haven't seen this tutorial: This one was fairly easy to learn (for me) and I felt accomplished in learning one type of isolation finally!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz05utrJ48Q  (the cat eye) KatieBug has more isolation tutorials that maybe you can pick up on more quickly than I did.  Totally be patient because the amount of arm and hand strength as well as timing is (for me) would be considered fairly intermediate!  I was thinking about signing up for the Brecken Waves class since it is 20% off.  As Safire's tutorials are super quality and verbally articulate from what I have seen and heard.  So I assume since this online workshop is offered by Safire it is good as well.  Awesome pic by the way Allyssa!

When I was learning them, practicing in a mirror helped a lot. Do you know anyone else that hula hoops? Sometimes learning in-person is easier than via tutorial. But isolations are tricky just keep at it, when you nail it you're gonna feel so awesome and proud. Goodluck & happy hoopin! :))
