yayyyy i finally am able to bring the hoop up from my knees!!! now i just have to master it

moondancer what kind of glo in the dark tape do you use?

i ordered mine from identitape and it was hard to apply it ripped all the time. Then i left it outside all day. It was glowing good but only lasted an hour or so

I'm not crazy my reality is just different then yours.

Strangers are just family you have yet to come to know and love.

Yay boo!!!! I need to get my hoop out and play! Things keep getting in the way though. Geez, sometimes I wish life would slow down so i can do something every once in a while. lol

I order my glo tape from identitape, boo. It is the High-energy Long-life (12-hour+) Photoluminescent Adhesive Vinyl Tape. The first one you see on the page. I get the 1"x30'. It's easier to work with than a 150 foot roll. It does have a tendency to tear, but I've found if you go slowly, it doesn't do it as often. And it seems to glow for quite a while. Are you using the same kind??? I can leave my hoop out during the day and it seems like it glows for hours at night. I left them out one night in Salem and even in the middle of the night they were still glowing faintly.

Taping hoops is such a zen thing for me.

boo you'll get the knee lifts in no time!
My husband says "if you've gotten it once, you'll get it again". It's true!

I have been trying out some things I've neglected these past few years...I have about a 60% success rate with a behind the back elbow pass and I am SO CLOSE to getting an across the chest roll. So close...

If the vertical step through is what I'm thinking of, that's one I can actually do, albeit slowly. lol

It has been a long winter and i finally took my hoops out to play yesterday! It was warm enough not to need a sweatshirt - finally!! Of course, I woke up this morning wondering why the skin on my back hurt. Duh! It has been that long since I hooped! I have no place to do it in the winter, and I'm a huge wimp when it comes to the cold. Winter in Maine is not always pleasant.

I can't wait to go home and hoop some more today! It's a beautiful day out there.

Hey JoJo!! How are ya' sunshine- Jules here

And hello to all you fellow hoopers out there!!

So very glad to see y'all getting this hooping thing in motion! I posted on the other thread about the workshop, as I hadn't seen your posts here-- if you want to team up let me know, I'm happy to help in any way- if it's got to do with hoopen you know I'm there

I've got my fire hoop ready to go... I don't know if they'll let me light it up though- anybody official enough to answer this one for me? I have fire extinguisher in tow (never had to use it but good to have!) and take full safety precautions Always~ would love to have a burn session late night~

Yay Hi Jules!

It's official, there will be at least one hoop "class" in the wellness building. Anyone interested please bring a hoop or two if you can.
More details to follow.

I also have my fire hoop but I was wondering if it was worth bringing...

Woohoo I'm so excited this is going on!

I'm going to start by doing a few simple stretches and then show the correct stance/posture. Then I'll move on to "freeing the feet" and moving around freely (arms too!) with the hoop and exploring the space.
Then I'll show some "foundation" movements - moves you'll need to practice that will lead to tricks, yes, but ultimately will give you flow.
It would be great if the more advanced hoopers could help out the ones next to them that may be struggling. Jules! I'd love it if you would help out - I know you got the moves mama. =)

Friday and Saturday morning, (not too early), about 10am sound good? It's a good hour before the music starts This is when I've expressed I'd like to hold it to the powers that be.

They said that we can use the "wellness building". Not sure where that is but I'll be heading to the venue on Thursday so I will get back here with details. =)

I'm sure we'll be up by then. I remember seeing the Wellness tent on the map somewhere. We'll find it.
