Anah's Bali Retreat Focus: Hoop.Body.Moment.Music.
Hoop: the hoop's movement, plane and transitions
Body: the body's movement, expressiveness and strength
Moment: mental/emotional/spiritual state, ie "presence"
Music: Musical flow, stepping into the timeless now where your dance and the music happen simultaneously(regardless if you have ever heard the music before) and you truly step out of time.
She says, "When you step into a hoop and experience a taste of the Hoop Zone or Flow for the first time, you get hooked by this timeless, sweet space. Thus begins your hoop journey and marks the birth of a new hooper into the world. But then, like a baby we look around. We see other hoopers and begin to compare ourselves to them. Questions arise. Am I good enough? Pretty soon instead of the label I am a Hooper, we now have I am a _____ Hooper. We strive for the prefix good or great and revert far too easily to lousy or awkward even if only in the privacy of our own minds. Wham! With this one simple shift, our wonder, grace and flow can go straight out the window. We ask ourselves, Why isn't hooping fun anymore? What happened to that feeling that hooked me in the first place? Have I plateaued?. The answer can be found through dropping appearances and aiming instead for the synthesis of Hoop, Body, Moment, and Music. Bang! You will find yourself stepping easily and at will into that juicy state we love so much, The Hoop Zone!
