This past weekend I had the honor of training 10 phenomenal hoop teachers in the first Level Three HoopGirl Teacher Training. I am overflowing with inspiration. It was a hit!
Beautiful women who were here: Natasha, Jenna Luna, Julie, Mollie, Allison, Diana, Cassandra, Heather, Lisa, and Krissana... and of course my fellow master trainer Candice, along with assistants Jenny and Susan. What a brilliant assembly.
The material in the Level three revolves around spirit and hoopdance. We teach over 60 new moves in a holistic format which evolves the level 1 and 2 material to the next level. It is the next frontier in establishing hoopdance as an authentic movement meditation practice... so many new exercises, elements and explorations. It was a place to re-ignite the passion for what is possible! Within myself as a trainer and in students seeking new material to teach their students.
Words that came to mind while witnessing teachers doing their practical exams: Stunning, spiritual, authentic, awe-inspiring, generous, bliss, precise, insightful, professional, surrendering, uplifting, creative, connected, original, soulful, supportive, enchanting, gifted ...
It was a powerful experience to hand out the 100 page manuals and share the culmination of almost a decade of spiritual hoopdance insights with the women in attendance.The Zoom moves, especially, were a cherished addition to the program. A wonderful philosophical exploration of Yin energy, receptivity and the power of allowing and intrinsic muscular activation. I feel like I could write volumes upon volumes about the revelations I have received in these tiny portals in such a short time... but this needs to wait.
The spirit of HoopGirl -- beyond my personality -- as a body of ever expanding material and a global community of leading edge hoopdance educators -- was present and surging through all of us in waves of insight, personal growth, joy and creativity.
For now, I will leave it at that. Off to an amazing night of well deserved sleep.... I am so grateful for this amazing life I live!
