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 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!

At Red Elephant Workshop 
Giving Thanks-“Microwave Minutes”
Happily Hooping Through the Holidays
Fall 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!

Laughter Yoga and Breathing Well
Happy Health Tip:
Did you know you could be laughing your way healthy? Hearty big laughter dramatically increases the air and oxygen level into your lungs, and radiates out to all the body’s cells. Disease does not survive thrive in well-oxygenated cells. Most people breathe shallowly, regularly taking in only 25% of their lung capacity. Laughter Yoga is one of the ways to increase that.
You can learn more Laughter Yoga information, health benefits and fun exercises at a Hip The Hoopla humorous hoop dance class. All skill & smile levels welcome 🙂 A little belly dance is included, too!

Travel with Hula Hoop(s)
Here’s some advice on traveling with hula hoops:
Hip The Hoopla collapsible hula hoop
Hip The Hoopla collapsible hula hoop
I travel with a 32″ collapsible attached to my purse with me everywhere. 1st time through the airport I brought cheap mini hoops that could connect into a larger hoop, in case TSA took them. No questions were asked. Then I traveled with my own custom made 32″ collapsible attached to my carry on rolling bag. I had the TSA woman run up to me shouting, Mam, mam! And then she giggled like a little girl asking what it was and I explained it was a hula hoop. It was priceless!
I can store in overhead or under my seat. A cover may protect hoops better, in case they are shoved in and wedged with other baggage in overhead compartments. Hip The Hoopla can make unique stylized coverings for you along with custom hula hoops to your size and needs. And we make big hoop covers for non-collapsible and multiple hoops, too. Please e-mail us at Che@HipTheHoopla.com for sizes, price and shipment.
(Also saw a great little bag on Etsy from Sarah Maccarelli Jordan http://www.etsy.com/listing/103217637/the-hoop-sack-bag-for-collapsible-hula.)
P.S. Check with your airline about their fees. They seem to be charging quite a lot these days and it may be easier to ship UPS or USPS and save yourself the travel hassle. (Though I find having a hoop in an airport makes waiting shorter-because then you won’t have time, lol—and it amuses and entertains others :)~
Hip The Hoopla custom hoops, full size & collapsible available
Why Hip The Hoopla? A Love and a Business
What motivates us to do what we do?
Maybe a lot of people may dream of having their own business. Most people wouldn’t do it if they knew how much work it was going to take to make it successful.
For me personally, I love being able to bring health & happiness the world through hooping with heart & humor. It’s my mission. My students from all walks of life are phenomenal individuals ♥
Thank you all for your blessings, support & positivity!
