Celebrate Outdoor Hooping Season! Expand your practice with a new style of Hooping. Try something new! Minis? Isolations? Inspiration is key and is all up to you.
Have you ever observed children on the playground? They create games and worlds simply by using their imaginations and most importantly, they could care less who is watching. They run, jump, climb and swing their little hearts out, not because they think it’s good exercise; just because they are having fun!
As the season changes, embrace your inner child and get outside and use your imagination to try something new. Experiment with our New 007 Hybrid Hoop Collection. The possibilities are endless, as long as you are having fun doing it!
Keep Hooping!

Check out this little piece of inspiration, filmed on location in Costa Rica! Gabriella explores the tiny changes that occur in our style and flow when we make changes to what we already know. This month's Scoop addresses grip, or how tightly we hold our hoops with our hands. Great advice for new and advanced hoopers alike!

The Taurus
 Grab life by the horns, with our new Taurus Hoop. As a Taurus, you are aware you use all of your senses to explore the world. How something feels, sounds, smells or tastes matters to you–a lot. You love good food, the touch and feel of certain fabrics against your skin, and are very responsive to bright beautiful colors. Yet you are also a creature of comfort and can become a couch potato as a result. The Taurus hoop is a bright beautiful hoop that will attract your eye, thus making it irresistible to use. So Taurus' - secure yourself in this hoop and persevere!

Favorite Hoop: Pregnancy Hoop
Favorite Song to Hoop to: My significant other, Michael Ratza, is a saxophone musician or “Joyful Sound” by String Cheese Incident. I find it fitting.
How I started hooping: I used to spend my time just sitting or crocheting for the 6 hours I would spend at my partner’s gigs. (4 hours of play and an hour each for setting up/breaking down.) I was usually alone. One of the bands that he was playing in had a lead singer that began dating the most beautiful little hooper, Shellie White. I now had a companion at shows, AND a new hobby to pursue. She inspired me by her flow and positive attitude. She gave me my very first hoop and taught me my first trick, the isolation. I was hooked! I began studying as much as I could on Hoop Dance and joined the hoop community.
I got pregnant in February of 2010 and gave birth to my beautiful little boy, Coltrane, on November 5th, 2010. Being pregnant almost that whole year, my progression as a hooper stalled until January of this year. After the baby, I decided to go full force as a hooper, not only to hoop every day to help lose my baby weight, but to inspire my students to hoop every day as well.
