"This is an excellent thread with such great information. I haven't taught a ton of seniors yet, but my mom, who is 65, is starting a Grandma Hooping group in her local area, and I look forward to passing on all of this info to her. Thanks…"

"I had my class and the advice about the chairs and the lightweight hoops were great.  We did 1/3 of class in chairs with arm hooping and coordination,  did 1/3 with waist hooping and reversals, then used the wall to do stretches and…"

Shannon "Inertia" Sealey replied to the discussion 'Teaching Seniors' in the group Hoop Teachers Unite!
"The advice I'd have to give, which would be pretty similar to Jenny's comments, is that for arm hooping you must make sure the hoop is lightweight. When I was teaching my grandmother-in-law, she was taken back by the wrist pain because the…"

"I have done some demos for high schools, but unfortunately, in our province you can't get paid for in-school or after school activities unless it's a special event through the phys-ed or drama dept, that are already strapped for cash.…"

"Hi LavaAura - cool name - actually, I try not to 'perform' or demonstrate for seniors or beginners anything different than variations of what I've introduced to them. If you blow their minds, they'll back off and say 'I…"

LavaAura replied to the discussion 'Teaching Seniors' in the group Hoop Teachers Unite!
"I also was curious, did you begin an after school program for hooping? I am interested in the teaching path and would really love to share my hoop love with students and teachers alike. In your own experience, did your district…"

LavaAura replied to the discussion 'Teaching Seniors' in the group Hoop Teachers Unite!
"Greetings! My mother is a teacher (High School level Seniors as well) and from what I have observed, I  agree with you. I think that your approach is probably the least daunting for beginnners, and I know what works…"

"Wow!  This information was so fantastic- all great suggestions and it totally made sense to me about the need to make them comfortable way before we get underway.  And the music tips are great!   I am so grateful to all of you for…"

"Thanks Sadie, yes, the Seniors are a superfun bunch, and once they let their inhibitions down, I find them the 'free-est' group that really enjoy themselves. I agree they aren't 'trick' driven, but truly love to shake it up.…"

Sadie 'Spins' Yancey replied to the discussion 'Teaching Seniors' in the group Hoop Teachers Unite!
"In my experience, seniors love stories and silliness. They love to hear stories of where hooping came from, why someone would do it, what my story is. They also love the chance to shake it inside the hoop, be silly, be smiley, be with others.…"

"They love isolations too! and if there's some that prefer to sit in a chair, they can still do an isolation pattern. Isolations are core strengtheners, and I talk about how we've lost the natural strength we used to have when we harvested,…"

"HI - I teach a weekly seniors class since last September, and I've seen remarkable leaps and bounds in their skills, but more importantly in their mobility. I only do max. 20 minutes of core hooping, and have a super big hoop (Dave) that they…"
