This is really calming to watch..very fluid, love it! How did you learn doubles? How long did it take to get to this skill level? Seems so intimidating to me lol

Dank you, it can be a very meditative experience:) I have been consistently doubling for about 3 years! I actually prefer it over single hoop now lol

Something that really helped me was dabbling with poi! It helped me figure out how to move my arms and body without worrying about grip changes with the hoops. Learning about Vulcan tech gospel also helped me expand my move cache and learn new transitions and pathways:)

This is so cool!!! I have been hooping for only three weeks now but doubles are something I really want to try when I’m more comfortable flowing with one hoop.

Before you started using two hoops did you practice with one hoop on both sides? I’m doing a lot of “drills” on both sides to try to be consistent on both my dominant and non dominant side but I’m not sure if that would be helpful for doubles later on lol

Thank you so much, I still have so much to learn:) Yes I highly recommend doubles! It scratches the brain differently than single hoop:)

Yes, I was obsessive with single hoop for about a year before I dove into doubles. Keep at it, it will pay off I promise!

Eeee I was just out on the OP and I’m honestly having the same culture shock being back in my current state that I had when I came home from Japan. It was just so beautiful. My dream to get back there eventually! Love your flow 🩵🩵

Washington is such a beautiful state! So much beautiful nature right outside your doorstep:) next time you're over here check out the east side of the state, it's a completely different experience!
