Hooping Anyone?

Hooping Anyone?

Picture
Perhaps you've heard.  Hula hooping is back!  And more exciting than ever before.  Last January I was lucky enough to be on the Colorado River with a Hooper for 25 days, and boy did she have some tricks up her sleeve!  Since then, however, I haven't had quite the time or exposure to explore this fun activity.  Well, last weekend that changed! 

One of the great parts of teaching at a yoga studio is that you get to join in all the fun workshops!  We were lucky enough to host a very talented hooper from the August, GA area.  She taught us basics, tricks, and then we even got to make our own hula hoops!  I'm not ashamed to admit I came home with 4 (for the kids of course!).  I've been addicted (to my kids delight) ever since. 

Not only is hula hooping fun, but yes it has health benefits as well!  According to hooping.org (2011) hula hooping helps burn fat, tones the body, increases your fitness level, improves your mood and coordination, and increases the flexibility of your spine.  I can vouch for the fact that my core muscles are feeling a little sore these days!

For me, my favorite part of hooping has been spending time outside with the kids being active.  It's almost a moving meditation and it has really helped clear my mind and reduce anxiety when I most need it.  Check out the link the the video to see what it's all about!

Happy Hooping!

    I am constantly amazed by the healing power of yoga and herbs. They inspire me to heal, to write, to teach, and to keep exploring.
