For my beginner classes you can expect:  

  • Detailed explanations of each pose.  
  • Safety considerations: how to fall, how to spot, recognising fatigue 
  • Specific conditioning sequences to help build strength for the additional levels. 
  • Specific warm up for the poses I will teach in class. 

Beginner Flow and Choreography:  

This level class is catered for flow and connection of poses. If the student has learned all of the  beginner syllabus poses, they may then move into short combinations of flow of movement  between the poses. There may also be a choreography aspect, which ties movement together to  music.  

Pre-recuisits:  

- basic understanding of the beginner poses  

- Confidence on the top bar  

- Able to get onto the hoop unassisted and down safely.  

Intermediate: Hoop  

Intermediate level is suitable for six months to one year of learning. Within this level I will teach  Intermediate Level poses with detailed explanations. The warm up will be designed around these  poses to help prepare the student for the task. If the student is unaware of the basic or beginner  level poses this class maybe more difficult for them to digest.

The class maybe short flow or choreography. Choreography is a combination of beginner and  intermediate poses connected together with music. The choreography can be up to three to four  minutes long.
