Across the Back Hoop Roll Tutorial

Nice tutorial , I kept hitting my head :( And i dont like it now , ive been attempting for a good half hour and i failed. i think i only had one sucessfull one?

You may not be bending forward far enough. Or you may be looking at the hoop, probably because you're afraid of hitting yourself, which throws off the entire posture. (I gave myself a black eye doing that when I was learning.) Where are you hitting yourself on the head? Exactly?

Ttry closing your eyes and falling forward from the heart. Feel the hoop from the inside out. If you have to chase it a while, do it but try to feel it rolling on the back of your arm, then the back of the shoulders.

Lol thanks , i dont know but ive hit myself lots haha :) Thankyou for replying because i really want to do this .uum ... im hitting my head ( does it again too see) the top back of my head , and my back , top back and lower back ,

It sounds like some of it's your release. If you're hitting yourself in that many different places, I'd say that your wall plane is not flat in front of you or, when you flip it up onto the back of your hand, you're not releasing it straight. Is it going up your arm?

Also, remember to keep your head in alignment with your shoulders and drop from the heart. Don't keep your head up. Try this. try to do this move almost upside down, crown toward the floor. See where it lands then and correct.

Hmm i dont know , It goes up my arm sometimes. But i cant seem to get it to go straight lol , but thanks ill keep trying , Your very tallented:)

Try to slow the rotation down as much as possible. This will give you more control. And we control our speed by controlling our breathing. Breathe in deep, pause, breathe out slow, taking as long as it took you to breathe in, pause, repeat. Do this the whole time you're hand hooping and as you release the hoop. Notice any place you stop breathing and breathe into that place. Long and slow. This will help a lot. Many people rush and throw it and lose all control, mostly out of fear. Breathe.

You are so cute!!! Awesome awesome tutorial! Thank you! :)

Thank you so much! I have only been hooping a few weeks, so I thought this trick was way too advanced. But with your tips I got it on the second try. I can't tell if I'm doing it exactly right since I don't have a mirror where I practice...but it goes from one hand to the other so I must be close. This is my first youtube comment, but I had to say thanks.

Congratulations! And thank you for sharing your story. You'll only get better and better as you build muscle memory!

i like the cat :)
