TRINITY STARR

Hooping has affected me in so many ways. It has given me a portal to break out of my shell. It has opened my mind to activities like artistic creation and all kinds of movement arts. I can actually dance now. With Ness, I attend hoop jams just about every weekend and meet new interesting and talented people every time. I have always been a bit of a gym rat but I have found that hooping has brought me a new kind of core strength. I try not to encourage people to hoop only for the physical health benefits but I do feel that they are there. Since Ness and I have started hooping we have gained a greater appreciation for health in general. We eat more healthy meals and have become more playful. We play just about everyday. I enjoy letting my mind travel away from the world of work and bills and just letting myself be immersed in the movement of the hoop. Like a focal point in meditation, the hoop helps me to look inward and to simply connect my mind to my physical senses. It feels good.
