Hoop Girls have a whirl of a time, getting happy and fit, while burning calories hooping it up to their favorite pop tunes using beautifully designed hoops. Our Fitness Hoops (they can purchase from Betty) are handmade, slightly weighted, larger hoops, which makes learning hooping easier for beginner and challenging for the pro. We start with a dynamic warm up using the hoops, followed by Hula Hooping and learning some awesome 'hooping tricks” and eventually, full choreographed HOOP DANCE routines. As the sessions progress and the girls master some “Hoop Tricks” they then collaborate together to create their very own choreography. The class will end gentle yoga stretch or some fun games. We do our best to have a Hooping performance for parents on last day (about 10 min before then end of the last class). Potential performance (depending upon level and ability), in various local events such as Vets Day Parade, Thanksgiving Spectacular, Holiday Tree Lighting, St Pats Parade, Alive at 5, Walk for Hope, Talent shows and more. Hooping is a wonderful form of exercise, self expression, and creativity. It improves fitness, stamina, endurance, strengthens Core and improves hand‐eye coordinations, preparation, balance and motor skills. Hoop Girls is also a phenomenal stress reducer. The endorphins flow as the smiles widen with each new Hoop Girl Tick they master. Visit American Counsel on Exercise (ACE) for more benefits of Hula Hoop exercise. Wear sneakers, bring water. Sandals or open shoes not allowed. Hoops provided for new hoopers.

Hooping can burn 100 calories every ten minutes and when you practice Hula Hooping combined with Yoga breathing From The Core, as well as, Yoga Flow, you may find yourself releasing even more calories as you sweat, detox and shimmy off weight and worries. It will strengthen your Core, your heart and spine. But more importantly, in todays world, help calm your body and mind. Improved COORDINATION. Like many sports, hula hooping requires and helps build hand‐eye coordination. To keep a hoop spinning around your waist requires your brain to work hand‐in‐hand with your muscles to maintain a steady directional movement and maintain balance and stability. Once you’ve mastered the skill of waist Hooping, you can learn a variety of hula hoop tricks, including hand hooping, walkthrus and more. Training your body to do these tricks will strengthen your neutral pathways and result in a marked improvement in your coordination. Helps with STRESS REDUCTION: It’s a well‐known fact that exercise helps your brain release endorphins, which are related to feelings of safety, well‐being, and intense happiness. Hula hooping can promote an even higher level of euphoria and you are more likely a have a boost in self‐confidence and self‐expression. The repetition moving of hooping and body engagement can also act as a form of meditation for some, allowing your workout to be a calming, restorative exercise that promotes happiness, well‐being, and peace. YOGA FLOW: We all know the benefits of YOGA. Through basic Hatha Yoga flow, girls will Stretch, Flex, strengthen, while calming thier bodies and minds through focus on breathing and self awarness.
