It’s winter.
A good time to work on your indoor waist-hooping, since it doesn’t require a lot of space. Plus, there’s something very soothing about the rhythmic movement of waist-hooping.
Some of you may or may not know but I recently moved to Washington, DC ~ far away from Rachel, my sister and hoop partner in crime.
(She and our mom will be visiting this weekend tho! Yeepees! Watch out, Capitol!)
A fresh start in a big city felt like I needed to revisit hooping on a very basic level.
So, in our tiny DC apartment, I shoved aside the kitchen table and created a little tutorial for all those beginners out there wanting to give “hula hooping” a swing. It’s part tutorial, part dorkiness. Cuz that’s how I do videos, apparently.
Watch the video below even if you already are a champ at waist hooping. Some fun bits in there you may enjoy. And you may have some other tips to share for beginning hoopers.
Please let me know how this helped you by leaving a comment below! And, of course, if you have Q’s or extra tips leave those too. Thank you and happy hooping!
