helski replied to the discussion 'Reverse current and negative emotions'"I am awful in my opposite current. Well actually, I find I can do a lot of off body stuff in reverse pretty easily, but even hooping on my waist in reverse still feels horrible and awkward to me. I've had 4 years inside the hoop and I…"
Traci "CircularPraise" Bonney replied to the discussion 'Reverse current and negative emotions'"It's easier for me to hoop in my second current (for me, it's to the left) with my heavier hoops; just like when I'm learning new moves, it's less work to keep the larger, heavier hoop going than the polypros I've been…"
Christine replied to the discussion 'Reverse current and negative emotions'"When I am hooping in my reverse current I feel like a kid that has to stop playing and come inside to get ready for bed! I have so much more fun in my natural current, but I think it's only because it is so much more comfortable....Does…"
Caroline Krueger replied to the discussion 'Reverse current and negative emotions'"I sort of love my reverse current. I anticipated problems with it when I started waist hooping, and I could see my potential future being very uncomfortable hooping to the right. One of the things that inspired me to start hoopdancing…"

Çaturn replied to the discussion 'Reverse current and negative emotions'"Currents are an interesting business... I hoop left, I'm a disaster when I try and spin right. I wonder if its something more inherent, or if its something we learn? When I first started no one was teaching me, I learned…"
"I love reading this--yes! I am so grateful to have begun my hoopship with Baxter, who taught me to send the hoop in the opposite current after every drop. Six years later, I can't believe how important this simple directive…"
Danielle Starshine replied to the discussion 'Reverse current and negative emotions'"I feel your pain. I am humbled by my hoop every time I try my reverse current (left). I can only waist hoop to the left for about 2-3 minutes right now before it falls. Persistence! We'll get there :)"
Traci "CircularPraise" Bonney replied to the discussion 'waist hooping for those of us without a waist' in the group Curvy Hoopers"That's great, Basimah! Keep up the good hooping. :)"
Basimah replied to the discussion 'waist hooping for those of us without a waist' in the group Curvy Hoopers"So, I know it's been some time since I started this thread, and tonight I decided to take a quick video to show that I actually have made some progress. It's sloppy and rough, but not only am I officially a waist hooper, I've also…"
Basimah replied to the discussion 'Hooping while...'"I'm just barely past the point where pretty much all of my brain power and energy goes to just keeping the hoop up, but I've managed to send short text messages while waist/hip hooping. A goal of mine is to be able to knit while hooping…"
Basimah posted a status"Just nailed the lift from waist to lasso! I've been trying to figure that out FOR. EV. ER!"
Basimah replied to the discussion 'Reverse current and negative emotions'"Thank you to all for the advice and encouragement. I plan to keep working at the reverse until I'm at least comfortable with doing it, knowing that it will take a while. It's taken me a long time to get things going in my natural current,…"
Traci "CircularPraise" Bonney replied to the discussion 'Reverse current and negative emotions'"I do get frustrated sometimes trying to learn something in second current, but I've learned to laugh at myself. It would help if I worked on second current more often; thanks for asking the question and reminding me I've been…"
