Today was absolutly beautiful outside! so me n the hubby took time to go outside and have some fun :)

Not only did I get 3 new videos up, I'm actually pretty impressed at the videos. I practiced quite a few new tricks to try and get them down. plus after my laptop died I started working on my knee hooping. I only have my right current right now but I DID A ONE LEGGED KNEE HOOP! for the first time! and i was able to figure out knee to hips without watching a video (Just the help of an…

I am going on 5 years in the hoop.  I have had two babies and totally enjoyed my time.  Last year I taught some impromptu hooping in the park.   It took off  big for me...  People who came out told me they were comfortable learning from me. They told me that if I can do it they know they can to... So on and so forth.  It made me feel good about myself and made me feel great as these wonderful people found love and joy in the hula hoop and begin to progress doing vortex's and step…

Hello Whoever Is Reading This,

I'm A Newbie On This Site, And In Fact, I'm A Newbie To Hooping In General. In Fact, I Just Started. Literally About Two Weeks Ago. 

The Original Reason For Weighted Hula Hooping: Losing Weight. About A Year Ago, I Was About 160 Pounds. I'm 5'6"-5'7" And Considered Myself Very Pudgy. Since Then, I Have Lost Approximately 15-20 Pounds. I Know, It Doesn't Really Sound Like A Lot, But Working At A Dessert Shop, Keeping Up With School And Living Life…

I really need some encouragement because I'm really low right now about my hoop workshop. Any positive feedback will definatly be welcomed. I look to hoopers in place with more established workshops and communities for help. So although this post has a negative feeling because I'm frustrated, I really am looking for any kind of support and advice because I don't really have many people I can pull it from in my community.

Saturday I hosted a hooping workshop. I thought it went really…

In May, I'm trying to bring The Hooping Life to Kentucky.  I'm currently fundraising the money for it.  My goal is $500.  I'm hoping to have vendors and raffle off an LED, hoops, and a polypro.  Basically it depends on how much I have to put into this.  If only 25 people donated $20, I'd be cool.  I've already donated $40.  I really want this to happen.  I really want to make this a free thing in my community to pass the word about hooping.  I'm even willing to sell…

Hi hoopers! I've never posted anything on Hoop City before so forgive me if I ramble, but I need HELP!!

Since being introduced to the world of Hooping, music festivals and the general lifestyle that follows (thank you Shambhala 2010!) I've been obsessed with the idea of doing something else with my life. Something that I can do where I can help others, be creative and at the same time improve the quality of my own life. The problem with that? Nothing, except for the fact that…

So, I know how to knee hoop but I have the hardest time bringing it right back up.  I must have tried several different ways to do it and I can't get the darn thing to move up my body with just using my legs.  I can grab it no problem but getting my own legs to do it no bueno.

I am at the point of giving up.  Anyone have any suggestions??  I have been practicing this for months and months.  It's a real bruise to my hooping ego that I can't get it to go back…

I am very excited to announce that I will be teaching hoopdance at Hooping University! Hooping University is an online treasury of hoop instruction with curricula by some of the best hoop dancers and instructors in the world. I feel so honored to have been asked to participate in this project. 

These are not 10 minute youtube vids but half hour intensives on every aspect of hooping you can imagine.  I reviewed the site and I feel really good about encouraging people to…

You know you are passionate about hooping when:

-You have a million things on your "to do" list and you push it all aside to have an hour of pure bliss in hooping.

-You are depressed and need a lift. The music plays, your body moves, and you are in your own space with mind, body, and soul smiling.

-You wake up and the first…

I've had a friend say it looks easy, and so I said "do you want to try?" and i explained the trick and did it in slow mo. He tried with no luck and then handed me back my hoop, saying " okay that's impressive." :D

I live on a street corner and when i get out my hoop, people slow down.

Little kids getting off the bus stop and look and smile, I smile back :)

One little girl ran over and asked if she could try, so i showed her a few easy tricks and we giggled together as we…

The Pixie Hoops team are excited to share our new summer hoop collection with our Hoop family! We thought we would take a moment to tell you a bit of the background story and inspiration that we drew on when creating this collection. We were inspired by jewels, by luscious rich vibrant colors and of course, SPARKLES! We wanted to create a summer collection that would inspire you to hoop in front of the sunset, to dance in the grass at festivals, to climb…
