HOOPING FOR LADIES
Hooping is feel-good fitness! Have fun, work up a sweat, shape your core and feel sexy.  The custom hoops used are not 'kids hula hoops', they are 4 feet in diameter and a little heavier, allowing them to rotate more slowly around your body.  This means that even if you think you can't hoop, with one of these hoops, you can, regardless of age, size, or sense of rhythm. You'll be keeping the momentum going while learning tricks before you know it.  This is a great cardiovascular workout and builds muscle tone.  The whole class is set to upbeat music and taught by professional hooper Sophie Latreille of Fire Weavers performance troop. No experience necessary!  Drop in for your first class or sign up for the 10-week progressive session.  To check out what is being done with hoops these days, visit www.hoopgirl.com.  You will be amazed!
Please wear non-slippery yoga clothes.
