Hoop-Mamas

A space for hooping mothers to share their love of dance, family, and living joyfully.

Welcome Home!

As women who inhabit the dual worlds of possibility and responsibility, I think Mothers have a unique dance. It's the dance around a cluttered kitchen and the stride that carries a child, three hoops, and a backpack where they need to go. A Mother’s dance welcomes the moon and celebrates sunshine. The Mother’s dance teaches others to twirl.

So make your selves at home! Share your stories, inspirations, and suggestions. This group is brand new so we have plenty of space to explore. Feel free to start new discussion threads!

Yippee!

I'd like to take a moment to extend healing prayers to Willow, whose newborn son passed away earlier this week. Willow you a beautiful hooper, kind friend, and loving mother. My thoughts are with you and your family as you move through this sorrowful journey. May you find healing and comfort.

P.S There's a thread where you can introduce yourself and your family. You can use the "view all" discussion forum link to find this thread, if you don't see it here on the first page.

We're not even that busy! And all I want is an hour a day, but it's so hard to find, or rather, demand. When I'm home with the littles, they gravitate toward my hoop or ask me for something or turn…

Hello Hoop-Mamas. I want to thank you for the inspiration and point you to this week's blog on Hooposophy: "Hooping IS 'Mothering'"

There's a link to this group at the bottom of the entry. May our numbers grow!

Hi Hoop mommas~ Im Jenny AKA Hoopnosis :D Im a proud mother of TWO cutie tooty kids. My son Trey, 11 years old, my daughter Mya, 6 years old. They both love to hoop ( woudnt let me teach them a thing) they wanted to figure it out on their own. So thats great!!! Hooping is something that has helped with many things in my life, including finding something active for the kids and I to do together. And man do we get laughing when one of us bops our selves in the head! haaa!

Prenatal hooping is easy... if you hooped before you were pregnant you can hoop during pregnancy. At some point you will want to make a switch to a lighter hoop but your body will let you know for me that was recently (4 months.) As long as your not high risk or anything that would put you on bed rest your fine.
