!! awesome. i've been following the yogic path for about 4 years, more solidly the past half year since i got my teaching certification. I've been wanting to incorporate more ground and foot work. i've been practicing warrior III, hooping on the standing leg, hands in front or in prayer.. as well as trying to hoop on my extended foot in this pose - eventually to toss the hoop up with that foot and catch it with my hands to hoop again. I also love just experimenting and trying to find ways of hooping in as many poses as possible. warrior 1 and 2, triangle for slow expressions, etc. i think the my ultimate goal is to be able to do Bird of Paradise pose hooping on the lifted leg - http://thesoniashow.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/shanna-bird-of-para... - and also to be able to do a backbend hooping, switch off to the foot, and be able to flip over, maybe even into a scorpion, all the way over into a 3-legged dog/standing split... all in due time. the greatest thing i learned from yoga is that you can do anything. There is no more what you can't do... but what you can't do YET.

Thanks you encouraged me to keep on going. Your ideas sound great! I love the standing split, and one day if possible to a headstand...like you said NETHING IS POSSIBLE!

Can you post a vid of the sequence, Alison? I can visualize some of it from test, but I'd love to really see what you mean. :-)
