Micha Adams: Hoopin' For The 'Hood

micha adams Michigan's Hometown Life reports, "Three months ago, Micha Adams stepped into a Hula Hoop and realized it was impossible not to smile. Curiously, the yoga instructor began to play and within just months, her hips and the hoop became one. Today, she can spin and twirl multiple hoops - dancing as if it were her partner. ... As she hooped with friends in outdoor parks, she noticed the joy in children's eyes as they watched. Adams, of Detroit, who enjoys giving to the community, quickly decided she wanted to give Hula Hoops to kids whose lives aren't so easy. ... Adams hopes to raise enough money to make 1,000 hoops this year for kids at a homeless and domestic violence shelters - and to other children who aren't so fortunate. 'It really is a spiritual tool,' Adams said. 'There's a kinetic awareness that happens in the hoop - you're truly just in the moment.'" Full strory and fundraiser info: Hometown Life

  Track of the Week

Our two tracks for the week start off with Cosmic Cowboys and their new release "One Last Whisper." We're especially loving the Hiro Remix which is why we've added it to the Hoop Sounds iPod below. Check it out and other mixes and download yours on iTunes by clicking:

Cosmic Cowboys - One Last Whisper EP - One Last Whisper

Next we cool things down with a track for some dreamier hooping. The track is called "Ruby" from the new release from Ali Farka Touré & Toumani Diabaté of Mali. We think you're going to like it. Give it a listen on the iPod and get your copy on iTunes by clicking:
