Ok freshman hoopers... This message is for you! Anah started dis shit. When you were still saying "HULA" Anah was being paid to perform up and down the Western Coast. More than any person I can think of, Anah is the MOTHER of this REVOLUTION. I remember seeing her for the first time at the Brewery in LA like 8 or 9 years ago. My girlfriend wept and exclaimed, "That's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen"

It was. It inspired me to start hooping. It inspired Rayna, It inspired Karis. From Anah and those she directly inspired came the mass popularization of hooping on the West coast. Hell! She may even be directly responsible for it in a global sense.

You all should recognize this. Know your roots and give it up.

Anah rocks!!!

She took the 'HULA' out of 'HOOP'

Anah is the most amazing hooper I have ever seen. I am completely inspired by her. I wish I lived closer to come to classes. Maybe I will make a trip to learn from the master! Hoop it up!!

Your art is so fantabulous! I love it that every time I see you, I have to go on and on and on about the first time I saw you hoop. I will never stop telling you that...

Re: Yes. (in The Hoopers' Journal) Great advice! I love the "range of motion" exercises! What I have observed in my students is:

Commonly when one is first attempting the duck out the tendency is to duck out FORWARD instead of to the SIDE. This causes your shoulder to slope forw... read more

Re: Bending over backwards (in Hula Hooping) make sure you are tucking your tail bone as you bend backwards to take the pressure off your lower back! Also, try to keep your head and neck more or less extended(ie, don't let your head fall all the way back) or it can compress your spine in an ... read more

what the heck is going on!??

I had a really interesting and powerful dream a couple nights ago... It involved someone I used to work with, which upon splitting paths I allowed myself to hold back conducting any business in their area or really doing anything that could possibly be construed as "copying" her. Of course she never asked me to do this and wasn’t holding back in this same way for me. Consciously I thought that I was doing this out of respect and a desire not to compete. Unconsciously (this dream shows me) I w... read more

How is it that one persons perceptions of the past can be so radically different then anothers? Am I in the wrong here? Or have I fallen prey to a very clever and manipulative deflect artist? Why is it so important to me that people see the truth as I see it? How can I move from here into peace, wholeness and love? How can I TRULY let go of this ugliness? I feel toxic. Filled to the brim with useless and meaningless crap. I want to trust that those that are important to me and my path will kn... read more

I had this magical dream a couple of years ago and I realized that it relates directly to some trouble I have been having embracing my femininity.. Duh, right? Well here it is I thought I would share it since it was so vivid and CLEAR as to it's meaning.. At least to me anyway... what do you think?

It starts out with myself standing at the bottom of a small mountain. On the mountain (taking up it's side in entirety) is the visage of a terrifying goddess. Her eyes are squeezed shut and a te... read more
