One of our favorite tracks from the new Future Disco Vol. 3 is by Ilija Rudman and it's "Call Me Tonight (Greg Wilson Version). We really get lost while hooping to this one and it gets better with every listen. It's on the Hoop Sounds iPod below and download it and more "Future Disco" for yourself on iTunes by clicking:
Then we're going Sub Swara with "Koli Stance" - the David Starfire Remix - from Sub Swara's Coup d'Yah, Vol. 3 (Remixes). We've uploaded it so listen on the iPod and download it on iTunes by clicking:

Hi Hoopers!
If you're new to back bends, here are some VERY important tips:
1. Get thorough instruction on how to do a bridge. Here's a good video: http://www.5min.com/Video/How-to-Do-the-Bridge-Pose-Exercise-68732373
2a. Warm up THOROUGHLY before practicing your bridges. I wait until the ends of my workouts to do my bridges, just as is practiced in most yoga classes.
2b. Shoulders: Warm up your shoulders with shrugs, circles, backward squeezes, and arm rotations.
2c. Spine: Warm up with undulations, chest circles, and hip circles.
