Hooping Changes Lives!

Posted on December 8, 2010 at 11:30am 4 Comments

Hooping changes lives! I can attest to this because it has in fact changed mine.

3 years ago... I am not sure I knew myself or knew where I Was going in life. Even now I can't say I completely know myself but I have at least found a way to tap into a classroom for me.

Before hooping I was headed into a stressful career that I knew in my heart I didn't love. Before hooping I was headed nowhere fast.

I found the hoop in May of 2008 and have been completely hooked ever since. I…

Healing arts and the hoop

Posted on November 7, 2010 at 5:42am 2 Comments

Hello world!

So I just began an amazing massage therapy course (LOVE!) and I have to say, even though I am only 3 weeks in, that it has already affected my hooping. I almost feel like the flow that you have to apply to a massage is reminding me of the flow in the hoop and visa versa. Then when I go to pick up the hoop its like I have been flowing all day already, and it feels so much easier to find that place. I wouldn't have guessed that something to do with touching people could possibly…

Been so Afraid

Posted on November 19, 2009 at 3:59pm 5 Comments

So, I have probably mentioned that I am moving to Georgia in less than 4 months! (EE) but I have been sooooo afraid of moving cause in Boulder, Colorado where I live now there is a large hooping community that is wonderfully encouraging. I am sooo sad to think of leaving it, yet I find it entirely too encouraging to see people on this site from ALLLLLL over the place :-D



Besides this I realized that converting someone to hooping isn't too terribly difficult it really has its own draw…

Dreaming of Busking...

Posted on October 28, 2009 at 9:30am 0 Comments

So last night I decided to research the busking scene in my soon to be new home Atlanta, GA. And the more I read the more excited I got about busing and sharing hoopdance joy. Creating little sequences to wow audiences who haven't seen hoop before and then adding comedy as my skills and confidence as a busker in crease. And last night, all I could dream about was hooping and busking. It was magical.



Hooping is magical. <3 <3



I hope you are all well and are dreaming…

Pumpkin Smoothie Time!

Posted on October 8, 2009 at 5:20pm 3 Comments

Since it is officially snowing here in Colorado, kind of unusual this early, I decided to make me pumpkin smoothie! Pumpkin has a ton of benefits for you, which is surprising when you think of how many people actually eat them versus carving them. They have 3 antioxidants, loads of fiber, and almost 50% of your required vitamin A in a half cup. Try out my smoothie and let me know what you think!



1/2 Cup Pumpkin Puree (canned or your own preparation)

1/2 Cup Milk, almond or soy…
