I feel this desire to drag my giant hoop into the basement for some reason. Not sure why…

To spin, of course. (Guess no one here would know my practice space is in the basement.)

That was awesome! Anah, your energy is so beautiful and inspirational. I especially loved what you had to say about bodyrocking—I absolutely love the feel of the hoop on my body and I am glad it is not something I will need to move away from to progress. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom with us.

Thank you so much for this. Especially for talking about Body Rockers (!!!), because ultimately that’s what I love about hooping. I’ve been feeling discouraged because I really struggle with isopops and the like, which makes me feel like I’m never going to master that next ‘step’ of my hoop journey. Your words helped me realize that there are many steps I can take, but even more than that– I now remember that I should love and appreciate my current place on the path for what it is and not focus all of my energy on what comes next. You’re beautiful, and thank you for sharing yourself with us.

Thanks for clarifying that I do what I feel and not what I see. Nothing its wrong or perfect, just right per feelings, experience and emotions. I’m driven by the hoop
