HoopWarriors Program™
Created to unite, empower and support all women and children. Students get to find their own rhythm while hooping to the 4Elements. Upbeat music and guided imagery make this teambuilding experience fun and unique.

The Programs Outreach
It has been effective in Battered Women Shelters, Youth Recovery Centers as well as Childrens Hospitals & Bulimia/Anorexia Recovery Clinics.

The Collapsible Dance Hoop
Not any hoop will work. Height, weight & spinal tension dictate the size of hoop needed for each person. The Collapsible Dance Hoop is used. This hoop was designed by Betty Hoops & is easy & effective. It is heavier & larger than the average toy hoop. This hoop comes 2 sizes in 1! It fits kids from 7 yrs old up to adults that are 200 pounds. It is extremely durable & has a cushy foam exterior.

The Programs Benefits
-Releases Post Traumatic Stress
-Boosts mental focus & interaction
-Builds confidence through creative movement
-Increases flexibility, coordination & weight loss
-Similar to Somatic Psych. Yoga, Dance Movement Therapy & Aerobics
