Favorite Song to Hoop to:  “From My Heart to Yours” by Laura Izibor

I started hooping in the BVI with a friend and some hoops we found at our local island department store – we needed some "serious hoops" and my husband said I should check out "hoopnotica". He heard about this through his friend's fiance, Keaton! 

I really didn’t predict how much I would love it and how challenging the workouts were.  Hooping is a perfect low-impact cardio compliment to Pilates & Yoga for building strength, toning, increasing flexibility and coordination and the best component of having fun with DANCE!  I love that it always makes everyone smile and that I can pack my hoops in the car and go out to community events and get all ages moving.

Thanks Keaton for your inspiration and for getting hoops to the BVI!  I see your smiling face everytime I'm hooping. ~ Cate

The Spiral

Want to bring the hoop up to your chest without using your hands? It’s all about isolating the movement of your torso—Here are some tips to help your hoop climb that spine- this move really works that hourglass- do a few sets each day and see results fast!

1. Focus your Energy: Start by undulating your spine front to back until you feel the hoop start to climb to your ribcage- now pop in your side pushes to get it up and over your bust and begin chest hooping. Keep the moves separate & isolated.

2. Avoid the Dip: It’s instinct to try and dip your body down to get the hoop to where you want it, but this squishes your torso and makes it harder for the hoop to climp. Keep your body tall!
