By now you've seen in countless health and fitness magazines that hula hooping is on its way back and instead of being relegated to the schoolyard, it's set to be this year's newest fitness craze. Stars from Michelle Obama to Zooey Deschanel, Marisa Tomei and more have come out rocking the hoop.

 

It's low impact exercise, fun, meditative, and it lets you embrace your inner child while burning up to 500 calories an hour! You'll tone up your core, shake your booty, and have fun doing it!

 

Just a few articles on the awesome benefits of hooping:

We're offering a -free- introductory class to hoop dance. You'll get two trained teachers (both of us are Hoop Revolution trained and one of us is Level 3 Hoopnotica certified), unparalleled personal attention, and a great time learning how to hula hoop both on and off your body.

 

So whether you're looking to lose weight, learn to move in the hoop, or just have fun, this is the class for you :)
