tips for shoulder hooping?

My #1 tip when you are trying to learn anything is daily practice! Even just 10-15 minutes. This commits the movements you learn to muscle memory, and the time in between your practice actually gives your mind and body time to store and integrate the information.For shoulder hooping specifically, you want to perform very exaggerated, almost awkward movements with your body. You’re really going to have to “pump” your chest and work for it! Take a moment to reference the cat/cow yoga pose, these are essentially the movements you will be making during shoulder hooping.As you are arching your back for the “cat” pose, the hoop will be rolling across you back. When you are pushing forward during “cow” the hoop will be rolling across your chest. You biggest, heaviest hoop will work best for this move. Turning in a circle in the same direction the hoop is spinning will also help. This slows down the momentum of the hoop and gives your body more time to act/react.

You can also think of chest hooping as a sort of “toss” and “catch” from one shoulder to the next. For example, I hoop to the left, so I push/toss the hoop with my right shoulder, and receive/catch it with my left. My right arm will also chicken-wing-flap out a little bit, but my left arm is mostly stationary.Here’s a tutorial video about chest hooping from Deanne Love to help you on your quest! Happy hooping to you :)*** After note: Now that I look back I see that you said SHOULDER hooping, but I gave you an answer for chest hooping! Is this what you were looking for? Sometimes people use those terms interchangeably, but they can mean different things.
