“After seven years of seeking out every hooping related article I can find in magazines, Christabel has created an entire book dedicated to Hooping! This book is wonderful for both the experienced hooper and the newcomer. The pictures are beautiful and the stories are inspirational. The photo-series tutorials are easy to follow and the tips help you avoid common mistakes. Christabel has helped bring hooping into thousands of lives and this book makes it easy and fun for more to join the revolution. If you’ve never hooped before, this book is a great way to get started. If you’ve hooped for months or years, this book is still a must have. I especially love the brilliantly colored hooping time-line. Every hooper should own this book!” — Kelly Domitrz

“The perfect multimedia hooping experience! I wasn’t sure how it would be to learn hooping from a book but combined with the DVD this is a perfect match. I have gone to classes before, came home and forgot what I had learned. It is so nice to have a resource to pick up new moves or work on ones I’ve experienced in class. I also love how Hoop Girl goes deeper into spirituality and sensuality, I have never read a fitness book that does this. I love that the the model’s tattoo’s are not airbrushed out. It is nice to see real women with real bodies for a change. I have tried 2 of the smoothie recipes in the back and I am hooked on “Green Sunshine.” This is a very well rounded book and is good for beginners and intermediate Hooper’s that are looking for a visual resource.” — Shari James

“I am so excited to be holding this book in my hands. Not only is it one of the most beautiful books I have ever seen, it is inspiring! I have been hooping for a while now and am so stoked to finally have a book that talks about the history, many of the different moves, the people involved, and how it can change your life. It’s like physical proof that I can show everyone, sitting right on my coffee table.
It is also going to be an amazing book to help more people discover the awesomeness of hooping and what it can bring to their lives. With the DVD included, they can get started right away with learning the basic moves and keep evolving with the dozens of moves in the book! The pictures are incredible with each move broken down so clearly.
This book is going to help bring hooping to the masses, which in my opinion, will just make the world a better place!” –J. Anderson

“If you ever wanted to get started hooping and were too afraid to, uh, ask, then this is your answer! Christabel Zamor and her co-writer, Ariane Conrad, have done an amazing job with this book. It has material for the beginning hooper and lots of great information for the intermediate or advanced hooper as well. Christabel includes info about the history and physiology of hooping, personal essays by hoopers, great breakdowns of different hoop moves, and ideas for combinations for those of us working on our “flow.” Not a single page is superfluous, and the whole book is intelligently written and beautifully photographed. The DVD is great, including warm-ups, cool-downs, cardio, and a combination. Spectacular job!”–Judy Kropf
