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

I love my students
A highlight of the Kaleido Festival for me this year was the opportunity to perform at the Bedouin Beats Caravan stage with three of my star students.
