Well I'm in my first weeks of hooping and I think it's going pretty well! I have learned a few basic tricks and am trying to learn to flow with the hoop, I think thats the hardest part of all! I think it would be a little easier if I had more space but I make do with what I've got :) there is a nice hoopy space in the back of my apartment but it is the communal doggie bathroom....gross! So I will stay inside for now until I become more comfortable with my hooping skillz!!
