Love The Skin You’re In Topics in This Episode:
•Health Tips – Laughter Yoga Breathing exercises:
Laughter Yoga Breathing Exercises-Fountain Laughter and New “I Love Myself” body-tapping song
• Health Information – My personal health challenge journey with Candida–
Itching, psoriasis, eczema, and detoxing from sugar to heal myself, plus several helpful health tips I’ve learned to incorporate into my lifestyle changes
•Loving The Skin You’re In-
Not just in a physical matter but also an emotional acceptance. How not just feeding yourself really well with healthy nutrition for you, but also trying belly dancing and hooping, too.
•Hooping: Loving the skin you’re in…
Try core hooping and exploring the inner and outer space (both literally and metaphorically), plus some rolls, because I have a “Delicious Rolls: Not Just for Dinner, Anymore!” Hoop Workshop coming up (and online class offering, too!).
Hooper Recommendations: Ann Humphreys of Line and Circle and Anah “Hoopalicious” Reichenbach
•Yum To Try/Helpful and Healthful recommendations*:
1.Bragg’s Amino Acids (super yum and a great alternative to soy sauce)
2. Black Lava Sea Salt (delish!)
3. An easy cinnamon clove tea
4. A tasty healthy homemade chia seed lemonade.
*Of Course: check with your doctor before trying any of these for yourself. Everyone and body is different, and reacts differently depending on when you take things, in what quatities and in combination with other things–so do be careful and do your own research. These are helpful for *me* and are things I’ve learned through having a health food store with my mom, and learning a lot along the way from other sources as well.
…Plus a few high hoop jump-throughs by visiting big pup Brown!
♥ Cinnamon Clove Tea Recipe:
1 stick cinnamon
10-15 whole cloves
Steep in boiling water.
For extra sugar/candida detox and system balance add the juice of a fresh real lemon.
♥ Chia Seed Lemonade Recipe:
1 teaspoon chia seeds (add more if you like a thicker drink)
Juice of one lemon (or to your flavor preference
Steep chia seeds in 1/2 cup boiling water to plump them up. Add cold water (a good 8 oz. or so) and then add the lemon juice.
For extra sweetness add a few drops of stevia. Do not use sugar or chemical substitutes like the pink or blue packets. Sugar FEEDS candida and helps promote and overgrowth and a whole host of domino-effect problems. This is helpful for a candida detox and system balance, so do try to use the juice of a fresh real lemon.

Happy Healthy Leg Hooping Tips, Tricks and Q & A
Happy Healthy Leg Hooping Tips, Tricks and Q & A
With Ché Rippinger of Hip The Hoopla
This Week’s Hoopspirational Hoop Booty Camp check in includes great hoop tricks and tips, floorwork, leg hooping vs. knee hooping (for Ashley Larson), breaks & paddles, question on hoop size, hooping safety tips, healthy cooking tips (including my yum corn & quinoa chowda this weekend (Yum Cooking performance art recipe below), greek yogurt, silent laughter and even an extra doggie hoop trick! Sorry the tech pixilates the video a bit, but this content rocks–and there’s lots of humor! Remember, “leg hooping” took me a YEAR to learn, so be patient with yourself, with floor, leg or dirty pizza toss leg hooping, starts and recovery moves. Hoop Love, Ya’ll! ~Che’ … your happy hooping humorist ♥
Corn & Quinoa Chowda Recipe by Che’ Rippinger
(Disclaimer…my cooking is “Performance Art,” meaning it’s on the fly, with what I have in my fridge/pantry/stock. Go ahead and experiment (as you might with leg hooping) with some changes…no guarantees on how it will turn out, but mine was not only raved about by one of my husbands friends, but also I ate this for the next several meals including breakfast –an entire snowy Sunday with multiple trips back to the crock. I ate 2/3 of a big crock–myself in 1 1/2 days–it was that delish! This is sure to fuel your leg hooping and floorwork practice with love and joy.
Throw in a crock pot on high…
2 packages of frozen corn kernels (splurge for the yummy organic if you can)
1 cup ground corn meal (I used Bob’s Red Mill)
1 cup or so of quinoa (I used a tri-color, which was lovely)
1 chopped up onion (cut up thicker if you like chunky soup)
1 small container of marscapone cheese (you can sub in cream cheese)
At least 3 cups of a Liquid of your choice (can combine): water, stock (veggie works great), unsweetened plain almond milk (or other alternative “milks” like cashew, soy, rice etc, or dairy milk if you like)
Spices to taste (start with a pinch, you can always add more!), including/suggested:
White pepper
Tumeric
Chili Power (just a pinch–it will get spicier the more you heat it!)
Paprika
Onion powder
Garlic powder
Save the salt for the end of cooking or as a garnish–and you’ll be able to taste it better and use much actual salt which equals less sodium (more bang for your salt buck!)
Thoroughly heat on high if you want to eat it faster, or let it simmer all day on low if you want to come home to a “welcome to dinner” fabulous smelling kitchen. You can use an immersion blender for a little bit, or blend about 1/4-1/3 of the soup in a blender (be very careful blending hot liquid–it can explode out the top of your blender and can burn you)
*Serving suggestions* Make it pretty and even more tasty:
Put in a beautiful bowl, drizzle with a good olive oil, and sprinkle with black lava salt, and a bit of yummy nutritional yeast flakes, sun-dried tomatoes, and garnish with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a pinch of paprika or chili powder on top.
Biscuits are a great carb-overloading side to this, or go green with some steamed broccoli, or nice salad. I made this soup to share, and I ended up eating most of it myself! In~Joy! ~Che’

Hula Hoop Hand Grips for Interesting Hoop Dance Variations
Here’s a short tutorial video on several hoop hand grip positions with Hip The Hoopla’s Che’ Rippinger. Note: I use the names of these grips as Emma Kenna teaches–because I love the accuracy in her fun descriptions, and she is a total enjoyable hoot–plus I love to credit the original source!

Hand Grip Variations Video Tutorial Link
FOR THESE HAND GRIP TECHNIQUES:
There aren’t any prerequisite moves that you need to have accomplished first for these hand grips. Just know that they do flow together with each half turn, and can be used interchangeably in your hoop dance flow session. It’s good to know these on both hands, and going in both directions on each hand–so your possibilities for combining them and creating variations on new moves and dance combinations, is endless!
HOOP DANCE TIPS:
Please warm up and cool down (head to toe!) to keep your body safe and hooping longer, hydrate, and take it sloooow! Make sure you have a nice dance posture: stand tall, shoulders back, chest and head lifted, abdominal wall in, pelvis tucked under, and a slight bend in the knees. Dancer/Boxer feet–keep your weight shifted forward on the balls of your feet, rather than resting back on your heels–easier for nimble movement. Try everything *without* the hoop first. Next, just hold the hoop and do the moves. Then get your fancier hoop moves in while coordinating with some basic stepping or fancy footwork dance combinations. Bring all you have to the table–your personal style, experience and sass! Stay positive and give yourself lots of credit for any and all progress! Keep a hoop notebook and take a couple of moments to write down tips and tricks that are helpful for you. Then review them right then and there, and a few minutes the next day…etc. You’ll be amazed at your progress! Please post how you are doing. Grab a buddy and stay accountable to another. And Please Share! Thanks So Much for watching!
