​I'm just a girl who refuses to stop playing, and wants you to do the same! Hooping has given me so much in terms of physical and mental health, and I'm sure it can for you as well!

My number one goal through hoop dance, HoopYogini™ , burlesque, or yoga, is to make women feel positive about their bodies and their minds. Life is too short for anything else.

Mission

I want people to play. Not just with their kids, for for themselves. We grow up and forget to do those things that are purely joyful, and replace them with chores. Don't make your workout be one of those chores. Live, love, dance, meditate!

Our History

When I moved to Houston a few years ago, I made a list of things I wanted to do before my 30th birthday. One of the things on that list was re learn how to hula hoop. In no time I fell in love with the art of hoop dance, and at the same time, my own body. That's when I knew that I wanted to teach everyone and anyone the benefits of this exercise. After becoming part of the Funky Flow Circus meetup group and becoming a Level 1 and Level 2 certified and licensed Hoopnotica instructor, I started teaching classes at Yoga Studio of The Woodlands, by my 30th birthday (Fall 2011). I've taught all ages, all sizes, all skill levels. I've studied with some of the best hoop dancers in the world, and taught on 4 different continents! 

My interest in Burlesque began before hooping even, and in 2013 I found Goddess Life, and began teaching this lovely art of the tease to other women. As so many others, I found myself uncomfortable in my own skin, and even sometimes feeling uncomfortable with feeling sexy. Through this class I'm able to help women realize that side of themselves, without showing it all necessarily. Continuing my burlesque training, I became a Burlex Fitness instructor as well, an amazing program developed by Cara Cullen, renowned burlesque performer of Scotland!

I continued my journey in the hoop to becoming a HoopYogini™ Certified Instructor in 2015, and then a Master Trainer in 2016 after traveling to Bali, Indonesia to participate in a live training. What is HoopYogini™? A beautiful, dynamic practice that melds hatha yoga, hooping, and mindfulness meditation. For more information, click the HoopYogini™ section on this site, or check out www.hoopyogini.com .

​So inspired by the HoopYogini™ program, I began my own HoopCubed Hoop Dance teacher training, and have trained new teachers all over the United States on how to bring the beautiful art of hooping to their communities. 

In 2020 when the global pandemic hit and the studio I co-owned closed, I decided I needed to have something to show after it was all over, so I studied and received my 200hr RYT certificate through Yoga Blue.
