Hooping Manifesto - Hoop City - Hooping Community

This manifesto is a work in progress and is here to represent in words what hooping means to us,
how it has changed our lives for the better and the lessons we have learned through the hoop.

Much love,

 Hooper’s Manifesto
  • The sound of hoops hitting the floor makes you smile because you’re learning.
  • Find freedom in your flow.
  • Explore, expand, experience.
  • Practice makes perfect improvement.
  • We don’t have to learn everything.
  • There is no “best” only different.
  • Break the rules; defy gravity.
  • Bruises are our badges.
  • Comfy clothes are a key to life.
  • Create smiles with guerrilla hooping.
  • Hooping is our meditation.
Our Mission and Core Values


Compassion - We will be kind to others and respect their point of view, helping them grow will better the world, better them and better ourselves.

Integrity - We do what we say we will do. If we cannot keep our promise we let other know as soon as possible to find a newer, better solution

Balance - Everything we do in our lives are connected. We will give balanced energy to others and to ourselves in our work, play, body and mind.

Independence - We have the strength to create our own futures and our own lives, independently of our childhood, our past and our present situation.

Fun - We appreciate everyday, filling the frustrating ones with activities that generate smiles and laughter.

Hoop Mandala: When we arrived at Hoop Camp we were given a stone to write our intentions on. During the opening ceremony we shared our intention for this weekend and then placed our rock in this hoop mandala. My intention for the weekend was “Friendship.” I wanted to spend the weekend getting to know fellow hoopers. At previous hoop retreats I felt nervous about meeting others and feel like it sheltered me from making more friends. This time I had a blast, met tons of great people and feel like I really had the chance to connect!

Kent caught me on video playing with my hoops at Flow. I love those hoops… sadly I accidently left them in Portland so I’ll have to make a new set.

Hoop Instructor of the Year: It’s crazy to even believe I won a Hoopie Award! I remember looking at Hooping.org last year and thinking, “sigh… I wonder if I could ever be good enough to win a Hoopie.” Accomplishment is a nice feeling. It’s a new feeling too since I had a lot of indirected energy in my youth. I was nominated as well in three other categories. Fire Hooper of the Year, Hooping Video of the Year and Female Hooper of the Year. It is truely an honor to even be nominated considering the other hoopers in these categories. Such amazing beings!Much love,SaFireHoop City.ca
