If you’re wondering why it took so long to blog about the Alberta Premiere of the Hooping Life – it’s because we were exhausted after all of the festivities of this past Saturday, February 11! We kicked off the event in the afternoon with a 3 hour hoop workshop offered by a variety of [...]

So who is coming all the way from California to celebrate the premiere of the Hooping Life in Edmonton this Saturday? It’s vaudeville hoop queen and incredibly funny girl Revolva!

mini + mini + me
There was a time when I found minis incredibly frustrating, but in the past few months I’ve been spending more and more time with them, and I have to say, I pick up my minis as much as I pick up a regular solo hoop these days. Megan Baird of Vibe Tribe and I will [...]
Hooping To Feel Good
In one of my classes right before Christmas, we had a great talk about the importance of hooping as a feel-good activity.
