I tried the distance version first and found it just wasn't happening.  When I saw that they were offering in person training 20 mins away!  Wow, how could I resist?  I opted for that and am very glad I did.  If you are going to try distance... see if you can hook up with someone via skype or something to help you out.  (I am on skype...)  Good luck!

Hello! If I was living in the states I would say purchase a pair of twin hoops from me! But since I won't be back for 6 months you should purchase some from my best friend peri. Email her through her website www.havahoop.com. Tell her you would like twin hoops like mine and choose a color. Most of mine are silver or rainbow reflective. And I work with soze 33. Peri will know. Sending you hoop love! Xo
