Sharna Rose teaches us how to do the "Vertical Underleg Twist Toss Pass." What's that exactly? You'll have to see for yourself. She lives in Maidstone, England.
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:
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:

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.
