video of the day


This weekend I was privileged enough to meet Deanne of HoopLovers.com at Hoop Camp 2008. Here she is with the other Tokyo Hoop Stars enticing everyone in Japan to join the love revolution.

trick of the week


This week's hoop trick is a foot interception that comes to us from Crissy Gugler of Santa Clara, California. She notes, "Corby calls this the 'Beckham Catch', which I think sounds pretty nifty."

track of the week

thievery corporation: mandala

This week's hoop track is from the new release by Thievery Corporation and it's called "Mandala" from the new album "Radio Retaliation." Merriam-Webster defines "Mandala" as "a Hindu or Buddhist graphic symbol of the universe ; specifically : a circle enclosing a square with a deity on each side that is used chiefly as an aid to meditation." Featuring the stylings of Anoushka Shankar, I can't help but think they wrote this specifically for us to hoop to. Check it out in our Hoop Sounds listening station up top, and listen to and download the other tracks from the new album on iTunes by clicking:

Sarah Gets Obsessive About Hooping

sarah Over at Stitchy Witchy.com, Sarah has been hooping obsessively. She writes, "Maia, the owner of the herb shop 'The Apothecary Garden' organized a hooping workshop with the lovely and talented Marlena this past weekend and in preparation for it I made myself a hoop and started to practice. OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! I don't want to sound crazy, but this just might be life-changing for me. It is SO addictive and fun and meditative and stress reducing and not to mention a great full body work out. The first 2 weeks I was hooping every chance I got, I averaged about 3-4 hours daily and lost about 5 pounds that first week. Then I had a health issue which kept me from hooping about a week and then started back up again last week and I am feeling great again, hooping at least 2 or more hours a day. I have been enjoying this so much that I decided to start making hoops for sale!" Full post with photos and videos: Stitchy Witchy
