class description:

Hooping is more than exercise, it is a connection of mind, body and
spirit. As we hoop we spiral inward, we become centered, balanced,
and through practice we learn flow. Hooping strengthens our cores,
relaxes our minds, and overwhelms our hearts with joy!
All ages welcome! Come join the hooping revolution!!
