well Debra Roolz and Spin Gypsy really taught me isolations the best,, and what they said to do was face a mirror and fixate ur hand on the hoop like a steering wheel, going which ever direction u want, only making sure u can keep ur head centered in the mirror as the "wheel" or hoop, rotates within your wrist on a full rotation around your "head" basically  in the mirror lol!  once u do it a few times, u feel ur rotating the hoop around your head in a way, only thru the mirror and keeping ur head centered about the hoop as it goes around.  your arms should hurt like a u know what if u are doing this right ;)

No joke, I thought if I get the vortex down, I can surely do isolations! But oh the burn, my poor arm!

Success!!!! My "Ah-Ha" moment came last week and I can feel the flow now! I have got it done pretty damn good with a mini hoop and I almost have it with my standard hoop! Thank you all for your help and support, this has been a great adventure. :)
