Is it actually possible to overdose on gratitude? If so, I'm there! I spent three days surrounded by amazing women (and one man) stepping into their absolute magnificence. It is a beautiful and precious gift to be able to live the life that I do.

So onwards about the brillance I got to play with... a few words about each attendee...

A new day... Level 2 of the HoopGirl training here in England and a new exploration of the connection between body-mind and emotion. We have four new students who have joined some of those from the last group to make 14 total... Diana from London who is an expert fitness instructor... Jessica, a spritely, beautiful dancer... Sharna, a phenomenal leading hoopdance pioneer showing the way for all of the UK and Karin from the Netherlands who is an experienced teacher and circus artist. While we did loose the vitality and expert insights of some of our previous students, I have to say, every single one of our new additions has been an prolific contributor to our conversations and a radiant talent in the room to share skills.

Considering the bus never showed up to pick Candice and I up in the morning, our phone went dead and the printer broke, I think today was a miraculous unfolding of perfection. Everything proceeded to occur magically -- easy, fun, and in total flow. Lots of master classes, active conversations, spirited exercises and more... it is such a pleasure to be here, sharing this material.

Thank you!

Tune in and catch me on "Live with Regis and Kelly" this thursday morning, August 7th! I'll be on the show on my way back in from England. I'm so excited! The producers have been really fantastic to work with and are so genuinely interested in the HoopGirl Workout!

Tonight I trained the HoopGirl Allstars in partner hooping (where two people dance at the same time in one hoop). Partner hooping is an amazing art form which is under-discussed in the public realms. Honestly I have stayed away from it for several years after finding that it "complicated" things too much. After a long hiatus, I finally felt the urge to step up and mentor the girls in it tonight. It was a blast! However, we didn't really get the opportunity to talk afterwards and we are now off going our separate ways for a few weeks. I suggested each member blog about their experience just to keep our communication going. To lead the way, here are my reflections...
