Yes you read right, Kuwait!!! In December 2014, Flowground has started the The Arabian Hoop Revolution, and was the Winner of 2015 Hoopie Award Video of the Year! Looks like things have kicked off and Kuwait's caught the hoop fever, spread by our lovely Dalal Al Mohanna, a fellow Flowground fairy, and one of the most [...]
Hi! It's been a while since I've posted- sorry! With Ramadan and Eid (and a bunch of other things), I have been barely able to catch my breath! But I promise you the wait is worth it as in this post I present to you Sheila! A phenomenal woman, a federal worker, and a grandmother [...]
“The amazing thing is that every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t [...]
Meet Christel! A beautiful hooper I met online. Within a few email exchanges I fell in love with her soul and positivity. She combines hooping with fitness (watch her video here!) and leads such an active exciting life, not to mention fervently promoting hoopers of colour around the globe! But instead of hearing me ramble, [...]
You may think that the blog post's cover picture is a picture of someone hooping with an LED hoop. It's not. It's a picture taken of a whirling dervish in motion. I've often wondered why I felt so serene and centered when hooping. A sense of calmness washes over me, a sense of glory and [...]

She loves unconditionally, gives more than she takes and just radiates with pure goodness that is refreshing to see in today's world. When I first saw Teeba, I saw this petite beautiful girl playing with a hoop. Little did I know that [...]
I can go on for days about hooping and how it has changed my life. But most people don't get it. "It's just a kids toy, right?" "What's so special about a plastic circle?" "Oh God, another Dubai fad...", are some of the responses I get with intense rolling of eyes accompanied with a sarcastic [...]
Flowground has had many incredible workshops with phenomenal world class hoopers. To name a few, we had the pleasure of being taught by: Geoffrey Szuszkiewicz, Anah Reichenbach, and Tiana Zoumer. Flowground has a busy 2016 ahead with amazing hoopers coming to visit us (ZOMG I CAN'T WAIT!) and share with us a few tricks they have up their sleeves! However, [...]
One of my fondest memories in hoop class was when Teeba, Chief Hoop Fairy, Founder of Flowground, hooping instructor, spiritual guru, hoop sensation, epic fashionista and psytrance aficionado, said in her teacher voice, "These hoops are HDPE". I then asked, "High Density Polyethylene??" She looked at me with the sweetest smile and mmhmmm-ed. I looked [...]
