interesting things about HULA

1.little history about Hula Hoop

You may think that the Hula Hoop was a fad born in the 1950s, but in fact people were doing much the same thing with circular hoops made from grape vines and stiff grasses all over the ancient world. More than three thousand years ago, children in Egypt played with large hoops of dried grapevines. The toy was propelled along the ground with a stick or swung around at the waist.

Hooping has changed and enriched my life in many wonderful ways. Along with increased physical, mental, and spiritual awareness, hoop dance has brought me the gifts of joyous health, fun fitness, and lovely community. Over the years I've seen the hoop bring these gifts to many others as well, constantly affirming its positive, healing power.

Whimsical toy, symbolic dance partner, spiritual tool and circular portal to increased somatic and spiritual connection; as the evocative shape might suggest to you, a hoop is a holistic tool as the many benefits of hooping (or hoop dance) affect Body, Mind and Spirit.
