De-Stress The Holidays…Hoop!

Breathe, Laugh, Hoop:

3 Ways Hoop Dance Helps You Enjoy the Holidays More + 3 Simple Steps Using  Sound Variety

Che Rippinger of Hip The Hoopla

Che' Rippinger of Hip The Hoopla with downtown Denver hoop sculpture

When life is getting a little chaotic, I find inner peace in the hoop. Why?

Hooping can be meditative.

The consistent rhythm of hooping is a relaxing beat that you can loose yourself in. This hoop flow can help thoughts of anxiety melt into peace. Try relaxing or instrumental music to. Drumming or a metronome will help keep a steady, zone-worthy beat, also.

Hooping can be massaging.

Did you know that as the hoop wraps around your body, various acupressure points are being touched? It’s great for blood flow and digestion. Try humming and feel that vibration with your hoop practice, for added internal benefit.

Hoop movement is a mental release.

As you move through time and space with your hoop dance, your muscles can stretch, engage, relax and release. When you move your body expressively, especially happily, and with laughter, you release endorphins–happy hormones that override the stress hormones like cortisol. Put on your favorite music for your jam time, or try a new era of tunes for a mental leap. (When you try experiencing new things that may be unfamiliar, you create new connections and neurological pathways in your brain.)

There is no age limit to hooping. Anyone who has the urge for fun and would like to piggy-back that on to great health, should give it a whirl!

~Che’ Rippinger, Hip The Hoopla instructor/performer

~Thank You…please enjoy the blessings of the season~no matter what or how you celebrate <3 Peace…Love…Joy…Laughter-share them with others~

Giving Thanks-“Microwave Minutes”

Happily Hooping Through the Holidays

Hip The Hoopla picture from Hoop Path with Brecken and BaxterFall may be a time when things go dormant outside, but inside Hip The Hoopla classes, it’s all warm, hoopy and giggly! Thank goodness for hooping…it can save your sanity over the holidays when your schedule gets overwhelmed with activity.

I like to call this doable tip: “Microwave Minutes”–when you put something in the microwave (if you use one) and 1.) Get in your hoop for the same amount of time…or 2.) Laugh for that entire time…or 3.) Sit and meditate on your gratitude list! Try it. Those minutes add up, and the de-stressing benefits multiply.  November is a special time to appreciate all we have, all we are and all we do to improve ourselves inside and outside on a daily basis. Every bit counts and YOU are worth it!

Hoop, Laugh, Love…InJoy!
