Converging at the Hoop Convergence

Wow, what an awesome weekend! It is very rare where I can go to a movement class and learn something new in every single class. I can't wait to share tons of new tricks. Also, I have a new obsession. . . MINI HOOPS.

Connecting with hoopers from all over the place was amazing, but connecting more deeply with our local hoop crew was a definite highlight for me. My friends Michele and Brecken are quickly turning into international hoop celebrities. It has been a true honor to watch them progress and grow into their mind blowing and unique hoop styles and recieve the recognition that they deserve. It was also a pleasure to see local hoop teacher Jocelyn Gordon play a key role in grounding out the conference with her peaceful and loving meditation and yoga, I deeply admire her energy and have deep gratitude towards this energy (it recently got me through a successful film shooting). It was also awesome to share space with local hoopstars Noelle, Shanna, Beth, Max, Jaguer Mary, and Tina B. were just plain fun to hang out with and hoop with and I was so proud to know such an amazing crew and consider them my peeps.

The best part is that we all left the Convergence, with a renewed excitement to hoop more together and to collaborate more deeply.

This weekend there are two fun opportunities to hoop together. On Saturday a group is meeting at the Tidal Basin at 5:00pm and on Sunday a group is meeting at Malcolm X Park at 5ish to rock out the drum circle. I will be at Malcolm X and I hope to see you there!
