This video covers the basics of hand and body hooping. Put on your favourite music and set aside personal judgement. This could be the beginning of a beautiful journey toward flow.

Learning flow arts literally changed the trajectory of my life.

I picked up a hula hoop in my 40th year and with a little bit of help from a complete stranger who became a friend, I learned to flow.

What you need to know about hula hooping for flow

  • Size matters. Small hoops for hands, large hoops for body.
  • You won’t find an Adult size hula hoop in the toy shop. Try Threeworlds. No affiliate aside from I’ve purchased here & not been disappointed.
  • Buy the cheap kids hoop from the toy shop too – it’s great for hand hooping.
  • Get 2 – you deserve it! See why in the video…
  • Or make your own, it’s easy. 

If hooping is not for you, maybe poi is more aligned. Poi offers a more accessible entry point to flows arts for some. You can even poi whilst seated.
