Mindful Hooping -- A Hula-Hoop Class September 29, 2009

What is Mindful Hooping?

Its hooping.
Its meditation.

Its hooping and mediation!

The intent of this class is to use guided meditation techniques to increase mind-body connectivity in 2 ways.

In sports, meditation has been shown to reduce mental and physical anxiety caused by performance expectations while increasing concentration. Like in sports, in this class meditation will be used to quiet our minds and aid hoop flow. And by using ideas from Psychology/Buddhism we will also focus on increasing our emotional vitality to stress caused by daily living.

The class features lots of stretching, some hoop drills, and some movement exercises in addition to meditating. So it is preferable that you be able to hoop at the waist with some ease. If you are new to breathing meditation, no worries; instructions will be given in class.

Currently I am only doing this twice a month, so sign up now! If this class becomes popular I create more opportunities for people to participate.

Price is a suggested donation of $15-$20 per class but if you only have $1-$10 you will not be turned away.

Please send me an email or message if you want to attend a class or have questions.
