{Music Monday | Band of Horses}

Oh, how I love this band!!  I am sooo excited to be seeing them this

 Thursday at the Salt Lake Twilight Concert Series.  

I recently stumbled across this B side song cover they did, "Am I A Good Man".  

Enjoy!

Rich Porter | Pink Moon

Rich Porter is an amazing hooper from San Francisco, California.

 

He experimented with different hooping types that helped pave the way for the poly pro tubing we love today.  Using the lighter weight tubing helped Rich perfect his iso techinques:  isopops, isobreaks and reversals.





As an architect, he says he imagines drawing and tracing geometric shapes with the hoops.  Very cool! And at a very high speed!  Back in 2011, he and Spiral put together a fantastic DVD, called Hoop Technique that features beautiful hooping demos and instructional walk throughs.  He teaches workshops all over the world and is a three time Hoopie Award winner - 2010 Male Hooper of the Year, 2010 Photo of the Year, 2011 Instructor of the Year.

Check out more from Rich on his YouTube channel.

Also, this weekend, if you are in the Utah or Salt Lake City county area, you should come to Brewvies on Saturday at 3 pm for The Hooping Life screening!  It's a documentary all about hooping (it features my hoop sensei, Baxter!)  There will be hoop performances, prizes and 2 LED hoop giveaways!!!  Should be lots of fun.  I'll be there with friends :)  More information here.  Let me tell you, I am SO excited to see this!  Come see what hooping is all about :)

::I believe I can fly::

In my quest to be an aerialist artist, I came across anti-gravity yoga and was instantly intrigued.  It's a combination of aerial silks and yoga.  I am  super excited as it is supposed to help people that have alignment problems with their legs and hips and helps with decompression of the spine.  I have been working with a trainer for a few months now on correcting all of my terrible leg and knee problems.  

I am starting to see progress but that's an entry for another day!  

 I have signed up for my first class at Imagination Place in Salt Lake City.  

Check out all the classes here. 

Tonight I 'om' and fly!
