6 Pack: Finding Your Flow
Finding your flow is all about moving with the hoop, not just moving the hoop. This course teaches and invites the body to dance with the hoop and helps you discover the hoop as a dance partner rather than an object that you happen to be moving.
Note: the demo video above only demonstrates what will be covered in the first 2 lessons.

This has given me a whole new way of teaching myself to let go and enjoy the dance side (not just ‘tricks’) which has been scary but invaluable.
-Karen
I have been hooping for a while and know quite a few tricks. Problem was, I couldn’t move freely between them and I was always overthinking everything. Thanks to this course, I finally know what flow feels like and I am loving it.
