    Yesterday’s hoop practice left me in a funk…I hate it when I feel so uninspired…I feel like it is so repetitive and wonder how I will ever get my hoop joy back.

    Then this morning I did my 30 minutes and got really into it! It’s funny how that works. In an effort to get over my fear of tossing the hoop, I learned a new toss. 1st attempt didn’t go so well, I broke 3 fingernails w/ one hard thwack! So I tentatively tried it a few more times and then got it. So I kept doing it and worked it into a combo.

    I spent a chunk of time doing the isolation type thing…I haven’t really done this before….where you are holding the hoop in place vertically (a couple inches off of the floor) and walk/dance around the hoop while the hoop remains still. Then I pretended that there were hinges on the sides of the hoop and would move it like it was a creaky old door.
    Is there a name for this type of isolation?

    I didn’t think I was going to have time to hoop today, but I had such a stressful morning that I decided to take refuge in my hoop. This is a dramatic change from the weekend, when I was frustrated to the point of anger with being so fumbly with the hoop. Today I went to it for stress management, only for a few minutes. Then my 1:00 client didn’t show, so I hooped a little more – probably close to 30 minutes. It is SO nice to be able to come here & share a little.
    Loop D sorry to hear about the broken nails! I’m not sure what the isolations to which you refer are called – Dwiizie might know. Sounds fun & exploratory!
    Hope everyone’s days are going very well!

    So, I totally Hooped it up to bela fleck and the flecktones at work tonite. It was awesome. Played, twirled, danced, got the vortex, which I gave up on months ago without trying. I just did it like it was natural. Weird how easy things come when you stop stressing them. Still bummed I missed jam this week.

    Tried to get a little creative in my space and just had fun. I pulled a smaller hoop out of the shed tonight and have decided its time to take the hoop size down a notch! Tomorrow I’ll be helping with a wellness event at work and will be sharing the love of hooping with the staff and students.

    I hooped while watching Glee this morning and loved the tribute to Black and White, so I ended up downloading that and hooping to it for a while. I used to listen to MJ’s Black & White as a kid, and found myself really inspired!

    Worked on flow tonight in a mediative and flow hoop class and it was great! My daughter came too instead of her usual workout at the gym and she thought it was better! I may get her to join me more often! Yeah!

    I got outside and hooped. Tried to play with the minis, got a bit stagnant in the moves I currently know with them. Still, I felt like I had a good flow going with them. Tried to finally video myself but my flip battery was dead. Next time. It was a bit wet on the grass, so I didn’t want to drop my hoops.

    I core hooped my way through two episodes of Misfits tonight and my reverse direction has become much more second nature which is pretty cool. I don’t really hoop in both directions while hooping dancing, but when it comes to hooping for fitness it’s more important. :)

    Toady, I took the day OFF from hooping lol. I actually spent some time with Mr. Treadmill. Its funny, so often we talk about hooping to “break up the gym routine” and “add spice” The gym has become a nice “I need variety today, I’ve been dancing for 6 months straight” haven for me. O<3!

    Started a new round of teaching beginning and intermediate fire hoop classes at the Crucible. It was a lot of fun and great groups of people. It was nice to see some beginner students coming back for the intermediate class and some other familiar faces. I’m looking forward to this class series!
