My Testimonials

June 19, 2007
Christa is an amazing woman. She has built a large hooping community in her local area but, more than that, she has helped faciliate a world-wide hoop community! In addition to facilitating the Hula Hooping Tribe, she has made tons of instructional videos and offered them for free, via the web, helping hoopers around the globe. From Lebanon to Manila to Scotland, from small towns to big towns to cities, new hoopers all over this lovely floating rock watch and learn from her. She has touched so many lives. Because of her, there are more happy, healthy people in this world. I am so grateful for that. She builds community and makes the world a better place.

Christa also has a lovely way about her. She is strong yet diplomatic, powerful yet caring, kind, empathetic, smart, articulate, accomplished and professional. I think she's the cat's pajamas and I'm so glad she's on the planet. The world is a better place for her being in it.

Hugs to you Lovely. You are a blessing.

Xta took a chance with someone like me, and for that she will always be my friend. It takes courage and an open mind to see the good side of people who, at first, my not fit into a personal vision of what would be considered a valuable friendship. people like Xta are few and far between, and when I find one I tend to hang on to them. eli.

about me
Big and strong yet dainty and delicate... Outgoing but shy... Playful.. yeah, just lots of playful :) Generally happy, serious when I need to be, laughing whenever possible, dancing to the music whether it is broadcast, on my headphones, or just in my head... Oh, and a total touch junkie, hands must be kept occupied! (usually that means knitting, but friends comfy with being touched/rubbed/scritched/linked.. will be :)

My Recent Activity

Re: waivers for our jam? flying/moving object warning? (in Hula Hooping) I'd suggest seeking real legal advice for this.

Signage acknowledges that you (the organizer) are aware of the risk... and I'm not sure that posting signage alone will remove you from liability in the event that someone DOES get hurt. There h... read more

Re: Momentum - Hooping Fitness & Dance Classes in Vancouver (in Vancouver Hoopers) Are these classes still being taught by Laura? Didn't see an instructor credit, and didn't realize she was a Pixie!

Re: two new process vids (in Hooping Videos) Duuude, that was awesome. I actually preferred the acapella version (though I was digging the music, it was distracting!).

My take on the horizontal thang: if I spend effort extending the path of the hoop (maybe particularly my 'point'?), it... read more

New WEDNESDAY circus joins the weekly lineup! (in Vancouver Hoopers) Saturdays are still going strong, but we've added a Wednesday night jam at Robson Square!

I'll head there after my 8-9pm class, so probably arriving around 9:20 or so.. other folks may get there a bit earlier! Last week we played until 10:30... read more

Re: LED and Fire Hoop Opinions (in Vancouver Hoopers) I'm really happy with my PSI hoop.. though my sweetie is planning to build me a new, best-ever LED :)

There's a special LED Hoops tribe, I think, that will have a ton of info for you... and a Fire hooping one, too, now that I think of it!

My Blog

I had an awesome weekend at the Roundhouse. Once again, the Vancouver International Jazz Festival hosted free jazz at David Lam Park in downtown Vancouver, and I was there for most of the acts (and all of the hot, hot sun, my goodness!)

Twenty one hoops went down, and seventeen made it back in one piece! The cheap kiddie hoop that I'd picked up at a toy store proved its non-worthiness by being the only hoop to kink (though hand-hooping with something shaped like a leaf was entertaining) - ... read more
