We are part of a greater & growing community of hoopers who believe in positive change & personal transformation within the hoop.
Special thanks to Patrick DeLuz, ‘Merlin,’ creator of PSI Hoops for his instigation, exploration, & inspiration!
Hoopdance, or “hooping,” is the magnificent and holistic evolution of what we have known as the “hula hoop.” Driven by a renegade, free-thinking tribe of first-generation hoopdancers, live music (String Cheese Incident in particular), and alternative festivals (especially Burning Man), hooping has now entered the mainstream in communities all over the globe. Hoopdance is a whole-istic form of physical fitness, dance & performance, play & creative expression, as well as daily, self-reflective somatic practice. Most devoted hoopers will also describe hooping as a spiritual practice. When you’re in flow with the hoop’s rhythm, you enter into a moving meditation~ when your heart is sad or confused, the hoop heals by moving energy (e-motion=Energy in motion) & quieting the questioning mind. Best of all, the hoop is a constant source of joy & play! All of us appreciate more playfulness & childlike wonder in our lives, plus, getting a workout has never been so fun & felt so good! The benefits of Hoopdance include: *Heightened sensory awareness *Increased brain-body connection *Right/Left brain coordination *Increased confidence & creativity *Decreased stress & a quieter mind *Increased feelings of joy & being in the flow of life *Connection with other hoopers around the world *Building Creative Community *Changing paradigms from linear thinking to recognizing the more cyclical relationships of life Some incredible & inspiring links to get to know the Hoopdance community better: Circle of Community: The symbol of the circle is universal for the unity & interrelatedness of life. The ‘Hoop of Life’ in Native American traditions includes all of us as well as the entirety of the Natural World. We at HoopNectar choose to live in a conscious manner that reflects our unity with all things, our support of co-creative community, sustainability of life, & holistic well-being for each individual. Many of our friends live guided by these same values, check out their awesome creations and instigations! Local San Diego healers we support: Mary Tamsin Roeshan Kelly Thompson | |
