Kansas City was cooL!

I dropped the hoop motherload in KC. awesome hoopcircle on Saturday at Sunshine Yoga. Had a lovely 6 piece class that was inspired and fun. Brie and a couple of her fabulous hoopgurlz showed as well as a couple newbeeez. It was rad - I really enjoyed facing the group and making the eye contact and watching them. I think when we have a mirror in front of us we focus so much on ourselves.
"what does it look like" thoughts....
hooping is much much much more on "feeling" it that seeing what it looks like. We have to feel the move, or the "pe-a-ce" - the grounding and control within. I think we can discover more by listening to these sensations than by "watching" ourselves.
I realized that I needed to learn how to communicate "right" and "left" reversed (when not facing the same direction as the class) that took some thinking...
It was fun - thanks to Kelli Austin at Sunshine Yoga
and Brie "Breeze" of http://www.kaivalyahoops.com/
THanks YA"LL.
I'm about to be taking off on a family venture in Switzerland.
Hoops and hoop practice are joining the trip. Of course.
Collapsables are very handy! just fixed up a matching LED duo last night!
HOOPON>>>

Blogging

Blogggg - ok i will... out of hoop commitment.
committed to hoop every possible day in 2009. yes!?
Obama began his speech - "i stand here today - humbled"
i felt humbled too by the hoop today. in outflow - working on my knee hooping --
eek - very humbled...
gggrreat tho because a commitment to
controlling the hoop is discipline and reward to me... no doubt...
i'm tripping out a bit because since starting the hoopclasses
twice a week - i'm already stronger in my arms, back, abs - I feel
it!! - and i'm just so stoked - to be teaching - to be working out -
to be pushing more and going for it! I hope everyone is spending the time
to give themselves the hoop love!
i'm so thankful for my 2009 push into more hoop commitment -
and the classes are an amazing help! and thank you to those who've been coming!
yey!!
I'm going to be posting here - my personal hoop practice / performance / work / class / freestyle / whateverrz / experiences.
Just for fun! I encourage everyone to make a hoop blog that
they can share with their friends and families and hoop peeps.
Show your commitment! pics! videos! experiences in your own hoop blog.
