ISPA Conference

We recently had a great time at the International Spa Conference in Las Vegas as one of the “Greet the Morning” presenters. . The conference was hosted at the Venetian Hotel where hundreds gathered for the latest in spa offerings. From the newest trends in fitness to high end skin and massage products and services, we enjoyed browsing the expo and networking. Fitness directors and instructors joined us for the early morning BodyHoops Fitness class that we facilitated and had a blast hooping it up.

BodyHoops Retreat and Teacher Training Conference

A group of us gathered for the fall teacher training and retreat this past month which was a wonderful experience! The group consisted of teachers, fitness instructors, movement art therapists and aspiring hoopdance teachers. In addition to discussing and learning the BodyHoops Fitness Program and hoopdance teaching techniques, we enjoyed laughing, hooping, sharing and relaxing. The two and a .half day conference culminated with a celebratory firehooping session which was really fun.

Our next Ojai Conference is scheduled to happen April 27-29, 2007. Register before January 31 to receive a special discount. Limited accommodations are available on site at the beautiful Glen Muse, located in Ojai. For more info and to register for the upcoming Ojai conference click here.

Hoop Move of the Season:
The Infinity

This move will not only exercise your arms but will also stimulate your brain. Stand in your basic stance and imagine moving your hand in an Infinity pattern (sideways 8) in front of you. Hold the hoop at your side with a loose grip.

.

Bring the hoop up and over crossing the hoop down to the opposite side and back up to the first side and then repeating. Each time the hoop comes down it crosses to the opposite side and continues in this motion.

Watch your hand holding the hoop and notice the Infinity pattern it is following. As you become comfortable with this move you can transfer the hoop to the other hand by passing it off directly in front of you. You can add variations to this move like side-stepping for a more aerobic approach.

The Infinity and movements such as these are fun and effective ways to help integrate body and mind and have been proven to bring rapid and often dramatic improvements in concentration, memory, reading, writing, organizing, listening, physical coordination and more. It’s the motion of repeatedly crossing over to both sides of the body that stimulates the right and left hemispheres of the brain. Spend at least 10 minutes before you go to school or work a few mornings a week, hoop it up and play with the Infinity move for a few minutes. Notice the difference. You will feel more energized, alert and happy.
