Bio for Betty Hoops

Betty Hoops has been one of the pioneers to bring forth national awareness of using heavier/larger hoops as a form of fitness. She stepped into a hoop at a music festival in 1997 & quickly recognized its transformative benefits. She began hand making & selling hoops filled with sand & crystals at many festivals & health expos. Teaching a few thousand people in the first year, she was able to target common mistakes & coach them to achieve their individual goals. In 1998 the 4Element Hoop Dance program was born.

Betty connects to all who are in struggle & grief. She was bulimic for 11 years & lost her family at a young age. Since then, it has become her mission to know & express her Self. She is passionate about moving people out of drama & into a space grounded in laughter & confidence. “The hoop is my prayer wheel & I am its’ Dervish. Every turn I make is filled with the intention to experience love within, with others & joy for all things. The Earth is my stabilizer, & my breath is the conduit to move energy. When I spin, I empty myself into nothingness & feel whole again.”
