Etsy's Alberta Street Team highlights Farren Square of Edmonton, Alberta, who has gotten a lot out of hooping. She explains, "Hooping taught me to let go of my inhibitions, that it is ok to make mistakes - even in front of other people! Hooping taught me the perseverance to pick my hoop up off the floor again, and again, and again. Hooping taught me to let go of my expectations and gave me the understanding that things travel in their own path, human or hoop. Hooping taught me to have confidence in myself, that I can do what I put my mind to, and to be grateful for the gift that is a body that works and moves. Most of all, hooping gave me a place to go when I need a smile, a space to meditate and lose myself to the flow of dancing, a place to find serenity." Etsy Alberta Street Team
