Maker Faire Austin 2008

HoopCircle

HoopCircle is Laura Scarborough's homegrown hooping promotion campaign and website. "Hooping" refers to the use of larger, weighted adult sized hula hoops for fitness, fun, dance, and empowerment. The hoop is a powerful rhythmic tool that helps you burn calories & strengthen all parts of the body while allowing for play and exploration!
A number of demo hoops will be provided to public for day long use. She will demonstrate how to make them yourself and give tips on how to hoop. She will have info on hoop classes in Austin and will have hoops available for purchase. Her mission: To encourage more hooping experiences for EVERYONE!
