Spiral Hoops(tm) are larger and much easier to use than manufactured, small Hula Hoops.
The increased size and weight of these hoops make possible both rhythmic dance and a range of groovy movements utilizing and toning the whole body. The dynamic relationship between hooper and hoop creates a centering, flowing style of movement that simultaneously provides fitness and bliss
SIZES: Adult Standard- between 40-42” diameter
Adult Large- 43-45"
Small/Kids- ~36"
Jeweled Spiral Training Hoops: ~36"
I have changed my pricing so that a small(kids) hoop is $5 less, and a larger size (for men, people wanting a slower groove, or folks with larger bodies) for +$5
Standard size hoops are just around 1.5 lbs. Jeweled and Children's Hoops are less than 1 pound.
To see examples of the various styles of hoop I create and view some of the colors in my palette, click on the 'Categories' listing on the left.
While they usually are created and shipped sooner, I ask that you allow 2 weeks to receive your custom hoops.Thanks and Namaste ~Spiral

Color:
Color is powerful, healing and fun. The decorative tapes on my durable Spiral Hoops provide weight and grip as well as beautiful color. Custom ordering a hoop with the colors you enjoy makes hooping it that much more enjoyable. Color symbolism and colors associated with different chakras can be used to bring more meaning and depth into your hoop practice. A brief description of the chakras and their associated colors follows the color list. A list of colors available for hoops follows:
Fabric Tape Colors: Red, Purple, Blue, Navy Blue, Black, UV Green, UV Pink,
Highlight Colors: Red,
1/2 inch fabric accents: UV Pink, UV Yellow, UV Green, UV Orange, Purple, Black, Red, Blue,Yellow, Grey
Sparkle Colors: Red, Purple, UV Green, Hot Pink, Gold, Silver, Royal Blue, Light Blue, Grape, Prismatic (+$2)
Chakras, according to Vedic philosophy, are swirling vortices of energy that are important parts of our energetic anatomy. The location of the seven main chakras coincide with seven main nerve ganglia that emanate from the spinal column. It is my opinion that the movement of the hoop echoes, heals and facilitates the spiraling motion of one's chakras. For more info on chakras from a true expert, visit Anodea Judith's website at www.sacredcenters.com.
