I finally got chest hooping with arms down! I could hoop with my chest but I could never get it to flow with my arms in there. Now I like it with my arms better than without them!! It's so much more fun and fluid. And its a lot easier to bring the hoop from waist to chest with my arms in there than without. I like the way you break down the motion and state the more difficult parts when learning, because it makes the viewer more comfortable when they reach the said "difficult part".
@SpottyBlueSheep your age does not matter, give it a try, it is very fun and it is good excercise! a good size is the lenght from the floor to your belly buttom and it has to be a llittle bit heavy.
i also don't have tape on my hoop (except a plain black one. i don't know what type it is b/c the seller did it in black only for me). could that be why i'm having problems with the legs? no idea about the arms for no arms hooping though cuz it still goes up to my neck
when i shove it with my arm for the no arm hooping it goes back up to my neck ( and very quickly so it literally takes my breath away haha) what am i doing wrong? i look like u in the video.
also, as for leg hooping, i still can't get it. it'll usually stop at my thighs only no matter how much i try to get it to my waist OR it'll fall straight down to my knees (thus fall)
Another fantastic tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in such an inspirational way. After watching this tutorial, I managed to master nudging the hoop up to my neck very quickly. The first time I did it, it ended up on my neck and I was so excited I forgot what to do next! : ) Your "love the process" video is so great, I watch it whenever I need some encouragement!
I've been trying chest hooping and it's not working out thus far... I can't help but wonder would having large breasts making chest hooping difficult..if so I'm screwed..
@nirvanahopeful no.. i used to think that too, but then i saw a video of a girl with huge breasts hooping perfectly on the chest! i can't do this either :( i can only hold it for like 5 secs.
It looks so easy.. so far my hoop has smacked me a few times in the face and my lip is now bleeding.. I have no idea how much more pain I have to endure until I get this right! I'll keep trying though. btw, I bought a 4 lbs Acuhoop; are there any tricks for a 4lbs hoop?
Hey girl im just starting to hoop im a beginner, and i have notice that your hoops are smaller than the one i have just made, so whats the correct diameter, and another question, is it normal when im trying the chest hooping that my boobs become an obstacule? thank you very much you are awesome!
i have really tried at chest hooping but i am not making any progress, my hoop is quite small, could this be the problem? my hoops is only about 30inches in diameter, thanks :)
i love your videos SaFire! but do you have any advise for me? i try so hard to chest hoop but it always keeps going right up to my neck. what am i doing wrong?
Is there to use specific hula hoop, or any hula hoop like regular? Recently, I become more absorbed with playing hula hoops with tricks, so I want to learn to use it :)
v v nice my Deer. I m Marium from Karchi Pakisan.onlyone hooper n founder of hooping in my region.Also trenner n instructor of 800 youngers in my region
Hi!Your videos are really helpful but I have a few questions.I have been practicing the chest hoop moves by starting the hoop around my neck,then nudging it down with my shoulder,proceeding with the "cat cow" movement of the upper body.The hoop will spin across my chest area a few times at an angle, then fall down. I have been making sure to keep up momentum & have tried spinning in the opposite direction to keep the hoop up on my chest and horizontal but this isn't working. Any advice?
wat material is the hoop made from, cuz mine is plastic with water on the inside. Do you think i should get a wooden one, or any other kind? thx, also do u know a website off of which i can buy gd hoops?
PS: u truly inspired me 2 start this amazing hobby
You're videos have really been helping me with my hooping! I started just a month ago but thanks to you I can move my hoop up and down my entire body(except from knees to waist, I'm still working on that one) but I can't seem to get this chest hooping thing down. I don't know if I just need more practice or what but the hoop keeps falling back down to my waist. Any tips to help me?
@FireSandra ok, I just wasn't sure if it's something your supposed to get right away or not. Everything else so far I've gotten pretty easy this was the first thing that really stumped me. I shall try that as soon as I get the chance. thanks so much!
i wanted to get a little better at shoulder hooping before i bought your class (budding 2) and this is perfect! thank you! :) i'm at budding 1 1/2 haha slowly moving forward. you are an amazing teacher.

Thank you for this! I'm a new hooper and have been trying to figure out chest hooping and this has helped a lot. Looks like it's so natural for you :]
I like the parts where you seem to be dancing despite of the hoop. as opposed to the beginning where you are moving your arms strictly for the hoop. It seems more impressive when your dancing and effortlessly hooping at the same time.
You are great and your tutorials are so very helpful. What are the dimensions of the hoop you are using here and how heavy is it? Also, where can I buy a good hoop dancing hoop, I have a hoopnotica brand one and it is huge, 42in and also pretty heavy, around 2lbs so it is hard for me to get a good flow going if i want to speed up. Im curious as to your reccomendations on hoops, Thanks!!
@uhhlysaa 36 inches in diameter, 1/2 inch this, superpex available in Canada.
It doesn't matter how heavy your hoop. It doesn't matter what hoops others are use. Use as many different hoops you can, you'll find one you like for yourself over time.
I no longer use this tubing but I loved it 2 years ago.
I've been having trouble rotating the hoop around my chest (with arms) without constantly spinning my entire body in a circle (so it's hard to change to a vertical spin). I love how your tutorial is in steps! This is a great method of teaching. Thank you! practice, practice, practice right?! :o)

I'm trying to figure out how to get the hoop from waist to chest, I can't even try to get it to my neck yet.
I keep really bruising my elbows doing this, and I'm not even moving my arms out of "penguin" like you showed :) I'm also really bruising my forearms.
I just can't seem to shimmy it up right... I seem to be fine on timing, I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong with my shoulders. Do you do anything with your knees for this move? Its hard to see them :)
i have a question. i can hoop on my chest with my arms in the hoop, but i continuously have to keep turning the same direction as the hoop is turning (left). how do i stay in one place?
This has really helped me, i am still in the process of getting it right and it is very painful experience. i have a lot of bruises and have punched myself in the face by accident a lot. haha, Thank you!
Finally, someone else who hoops to the right! In all the other tutorials I've seen, the instructor hoops to the left, so I have to figure it all out in reverse! I've only been hooping for a few weeks, but I can angle the hoop, bring it up into and out of lasso with both hands, the basic stuff. Chest hooping is my biggest feat, but I'm getting better!
@ZoeSquared21 I usually hoop to the left, but I found that by switching my feet (having my left foot forward rather than my right) I can easily hoop both directions.... I figured out this trick bc when I first started hooping, I did it so much that I got sore so I just hooped in the other direction lol
I'm just a beginner, and your tips help so much! Thanks for all your help! :) You've inspired me too, you have such grace, I need to work on that, I think when I master the moves, I will be more graceful at it. thanks again!
Hey! Thank you very much for yours videos, which gives inspiration, motivation, wonder, and a lot of jealousy xD But I have 1 request! Could you make a tutorial to explain..(outch, i'm french, it's difficult to explain in english) how to , keeping the hoop in the hands, make it go down around the body and take it back up above the head...I don't find where i have to put my hands ^^ It's would be wonderfull... thanks, and bonne continuation!
Love your videos- you have such style and grace. Your tutorials are very helpful. I love hooping and am trying to learn as many new moves as I can and just practice as often as possible so I can get better at it. I just love the way I feel when I'm moving in my hoop. I like your room by the way too. Has a great energy and feel to it. :) Thanks again for sharing!
I wanted to thank you for all the videos that you have posted. It inspired me to hoop for the first time and I can hoop upto 3 hoops now. The only thing I could not masted yet is knee hooping (and reversals) :) Anyways, I created my youtube account today, so dropped in the thank you note I have been wanting to for months now! God bless!
lol you make it looks so easy with arms. Its a lot harder for me because i have a bigger bust and the boobs plus the arms make me more of a triangle shape. Should i be arching my back more for that circular shape? It just feels so awkward.
I understand your pain, I feel like my boobs are getting in the way to. Im also struggling with this move. I guess there is bound to way to do it because I thought I wouldnt be able to get chest hooping with em and I finally got it. So there HAS to be a way to get this. :p good luck
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Are you from the USA? 'Cuz I heard that all the girls in the USA are fat, because they eat to much at McDonald's. But you look perfect, so is it because of the hula hoop or do you use diet pills?
Are you for real? I watched all of your videos and the only thing I can do is loop it around my waist. I tried to put my hands in there but that;s just impossible, the hoop's too fast!! I wanted to take lessons but they don't do that in holland. Guess I'll never learn haha this is just impossible for me
what kind of hoops do you use, they look bigger than the kid ones, but not like the exercise hoops, i'd like to find some hoops like yours, suggestions?
great teaching. what size/weight/width etc. hoop do you use? i have a 100cm 1kg hoop but i think it's too heavy and i'm getting bruises...is it the way i'm using it or would you recommend a different hoop?
Wow. your so good with your hoop. I have been practicing on and off for nearly a year and i'm nowhere near at your stage. I don't have the space to practice so i end up waist hooping most of the time. I'm gonna check out more of your vids, thanks :D
I just had a break through with chest hooping but I am having a problem with the hoop going to my neck (or just hitting me in the face). How to you keep the hoop on the shoulders without going to your neck? Besides just practice practice parctice and having control! I am addicted (and black and blue)
I was just wondering because im extreemly intrested in doing hoop dancing and the one concern i have is that i wonder how easy it is for larger chested weman to shimmy up and down as well as just using my chest. Do you think i might incounter a problem?
One week is very little time to learn how to chest hoop. Some folks are talented, but the majority needs quite some time for your muscles to get flexible and responsive enough. Took me two months to learn the basic stuff. So no worries, you will get there guaranteed!!! :)
Hey, Safira, I love your videos! I was wondering if you could give me some help. I'm one of those smaller girls with bigger boobs, and because of my "boob shelf" my chest hooping is almost permanently vertical. But the time I get it horizontal, it's up to my neck! Any thoughts or tips? Thanks!
I've finally started to get the hang of chest hooping with arms in, but the hoop keeps wanting to pop back up to my neck. Do you have any tips for keeping the hoop in one "orbit" around your shoulders? Areas I should focus on for better control?
I love your tutorials, I have learned so much because of them!
I don't know if you have ever heard of something called "Cosplay" before, but if you were ever interested in trying it, you would make a really incredible Tira (from a video game called, Soul Calibur!
You should really think about it - I think people would flip out if they saw you do that act in a Tira cosplay - plus you might like the character a lot, since you have Hoops and Dancing in common!
just 3 weeks ago, i was only able to hoop around my waist. Now i'm able to do most of the tricks i learnt from your clips. you dissect the steps very intelligently. SaFire, you're a natural guru. thanks for inspiring me into hooping at 2 am. much blessings.
Will you also be giving a tutorial on neck hooping with shoulder rolls / duck outs??? I hope so because I'm going to lose my neck soon :) I can't wait for the corkscrew and the vortex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sandra, I think you're a great teacher. I'm able to follow your moves without a problem unlike other hooping tutorials. I'm having a problem with the corkscrew and the vortex which was shown on another tutorial. I know if you demonstrated those that I would get it. Would you be so kind?
Hey Sandra, I was curious if you could make a tutorial on isolation's? Or if you could show us (in the beginning of your $1,000,000) the trick you are doing on the time of 0:29, when the hula hoop is in front of you. It looks really cool and I am sure lots of hoop dancers would love to know how to do it! Thanks!
ok. so, i was reading some of the comments and i looked back at the video and it's spinning arond yor neck!! Doesn't that hurt!!??!? Then i saw you at about 2:14 chest hopping with no arms, now thats gotta hurt! doesn't it?? Sorry if you mentioned this in the video but i have no sound. Can someone reply with whether it hurts or not, cuz i reckon it's possible i might get one of these :)
I hoop dance! No it doesn't hurt at all! Mean chest hurts a lot but you don't have to do it forever. Neck doesn't hurt at all unless you have a really heavy hula hoop! Hope this helps you!
Chest hooping doesn't hurt, unless you do it wrong. You're actually hooping above your chest a little, so its not uncomfortable at all. I personally like it better than hooping around my shoulders. When I first started doing it around my neck, because I was using a pretty heavy hoop, but only for the first week or so.

I've been trying for a couple days now to hoop around my shoulders. I didn't realize it would be easier to do it without my arms first! This was very helpful!!
i've just learnt to chest hoop and now i'm trying to go in the other direction. i've found it really useful to turn in the direction of the hoop, and move the hoop round with your soulder. i think it gives you a bit longer to move how you need to, then once your body gets used to moving this part of your body it becomes smoother.
thanks for the lessons, they are wonderful! x :) x
You are awesome!! I have a lot of problems with this trick. Everytime I try hooping at the chest the hoop keeps falling down. It falls down to my waist every time!
I use all varieties of hoops but lately have been using some I made out of 1/4 inch superpex. (This is in this video) They are really light and flexible and great for multiple hooping because it ends up saving you a lot of space, both while hooping and while traveling.
Your videos are absolutely wonderful. I've been hooping for quite awhile now, and I've learned more in the past couple of months by watching your videos.
Though, I'm having a lot of problems with this trick. When hooping around my neck I notice that my hoop tends to scrape against the top of one shoulder. I've tried ducking that shoulder low than the other, putting my shoulders back, and even using that one shoulder as a sort of push point. Eventually, this makes my hoop fall. Any thoughts?
Yes! Curve your back slightly inwards when hooping at the neck. I'm not sure it can be seen in the video but I lean back slightly to maintain at the neck.
Terrific explanations and breakdowns. You are such a motivating instructor. I've got down the 'one arm' & 'no arms' - but when I'm working to keep in on both shoulders I give myself CPR in front.... THUD THUD THUD. (I've got a broad back too. OOF!) Help please.
really really great tutorials Sandra! I think I'm getting better already, and it's only been...2 weeks? You are SO helpful it's insane!! I honestly haven't found any other videos that are as helpful as you.
You are amazing graceful and so so helpful <3 thank you

Just came across this video. Not sure why I'm watching it as I can't hula hoop...:/ But it looks really amazing so I have a couple of questions...
Is there a point where it becomes too late to pick it up, or can you start at any age?
Also, if you can start at any age, what size should you get?
SpottyBlueSheep 1 month ago
@SpottyBlueSheep your age does not matter, give it a try, it is very fun and it is good excercise! a good size is the lenght from the floor to your belly buttom and it has to be a llittle bit heavy.

Finally, someone else who hoops to the right! In all the other tutorials I've seen, the instructor hoops to the left, so I have to figure it all out in reverse! I've only been hooping for a few weeks, but I can angle the hoop, bring it up into and out of lasso with both hands, the basic stuff. Chest hooping is my biggest feat, but I'm getting better!
ZoeSquared21 2 years ago 8
@ZoeSquared21 I usually hoop to the left, but I found that by switching my feet (having my left foot forward rather than my right) I can easily hoop both directions.... I figured out this trick bc when I first started hooping, I did it so much that I got sore so I just hooped in the other direction lol

Love your videos- you have such style and grace. Your tutorials are very helpful. I love hooping and am trying to learn as many new moves as I can and just practice as often as possible so I can get better at it. I just love the way I feel when I'm moving in my hoop. I like your room by the way too. Has a great energy and feel to it. :) Thanks again for sharing!

lol you make it looks so easy with arms. Its a lot harder for me because i have a bigger bust and the boobs plus the arms make me more of a triangle shape. Should i be arching my back more for that circular shape? It just feels so awkward.
moosecankles 2 years ago
I understand your pain, I feel like my boobs are getting in the way to. Im also struggling with this move. I guess there is bound to way to do it because I thought I wouldnt be able to get chest hooping with em and I finally got it. So there HAS to be a way to get this. :p good luck

Are you for real? I watched all of your videos and the only thing I can do is loop it around my waist. I tried to put my hands in there but that;s just impossible, the hoop's too fast!!

One week is very little time to learn how to chest hoop. Some folks are talented, but the majority needs quite some time for your muscles to get flexible and responsive enough. Took me two months to learn the basic stuff. So no worries, you will get there guaranteed!!! :)

Hey, Safira, I love your videos! I was wondering if you could give me some help. I'm one of those smaller girls with bigger boobs, and because of my "boob shelf" my chest hooping is almost permanently vertical. But the time I get it horizontal, it's up to my neck! Any thoughts or tips? Thanks!
Your videos have helped me with so much!

I've finally started to get the hang of chest hooping with arms in, but the hoop keeps wanting to pop back up to my neck. Do you have any tips for keeping the hoop in one "orbit" around your shoulders? Areas I should focus on for better control?

I don't know if you have ever heard of something called "Cosplay" before, but if you were ever interested in trying it, you would make a really incredible Tira (from a video game called, Soul Calibur!
You should really think about it - I think people would flip out if they saw you do that act in a Tira cosplay - plus you might like the character a lot, since you have Hoops and Dancing in common!

Hey Sandra, I was curious if you could make a tutorial on isolation's? Or if you could show us (in the beginning of your $1,000,000) the trick you are doing on the time of 0:29, when the hula hoop is in front of you. It looks really cool and I am sure lots of hoop dancers would love to know how to do it! Thanks!

Then i saw you at about 2:14 chest hopping with no arms, now thats gotta hurt! doesn't it?? Sorry if you mentioned this in the video but i have no sound. Can someone reply with whether it hurts or not, cuz i reckon it's possible i might get one of these :)

LilMissRandom109 3 years ago
Chest hooping doesn't hurt, unless you do it wrong. You're actually hooping above your chest a little, so its not uncomfortable at all. I personally like it better than hooping around my shoulders. When I first started doing it around my neck, because I was using a pretty heavy hoop, but only for the first week or so.

philalright007 3 years ago
i've just learnt to chest hoop and now i'm trying to go in the other direction. i've found it really useful to turn in the direction of the hoop, and move the hoop round with your soulder. i think it gives you a bit longer to move how you need to, then once your body gets used to moving this part of your body it becomes smoother.
thanks for the lessons, they are wonderful! x :) x
laylaanne 3 years ago
That is very true. Turning with the hoop can help with almost every move as it slows the rotation so we have more time to react.

I use all varieties of hoops but lately have been using some I made out of 1/4 inch superpex. (This is in this video) They are really light and flexible and great for multiple hooping because it ends up saving you a lot of space, both while hooping and while traveling.

Your videos are absolutely wonderful. I've been hooping for quite awhile now, and I've learned more in the past couple of months by watching your videos.
Though, I'm having a lot of problems with this trick. When hooping around my neck I notice that my hoop tends to scrape against the top of one shoulder. I've tried ducking that shoulder low than the other, putting my shoulders back, and even using that one shoulder as a sort of push point. Eventually, this makes my hoop fall. Any thoughts?
keeleykaiju 3 years ago
Yes! Curve your back slightly inwards when hooping at the neck. I'm not sure it can be seen in the video but I lean back slightly to maintain at the neck.
Let me know if this does the trick.
~ SaFire ~
FireSandra 3 years ago
Thanks so much! It feels a bit awkward, but that solved the problem of the shoulder scraping. I'm sure I'll get used to the position after awhile. :)

Terrific explanations and breakdowns. You are such a motivating instructor. I've got down the 'one arm' & 'no arms' - but when I'm working to keep in on both shoulders I give myself CPR in front.... THUD THUD THUD. (I've got a broad back too. OOF!) Help please.
