Marcy
Welcome!
I’m a fitness professional, hula hooper, yoga practitioner and visual artist who leads classes and workshops in multiple movement disciplines. As a Women’s Fitness Specialist and strength and conditioning trainer, I focus on inspired goal-setting and optimizing our mid-life fitness quotient through the latest science-based health and wellness research. Holistic exercise is a beautiful way to bring deep healing, vitality and joy to any life at any stage.
My fitness work is deeply rooted in my passion for creative movement. When I’m not facilitating a class or function, I’m knitting, drawing, hiking somewhere in Pennsylvania or Colorado, or exploring hoopdance technique. My true loves are family, friends, community, cats, books, yarn, pencils, and tea. Let’s party.
Hula Hooping and Hoop Dance, all levels
Dynamic sessions for the beginning to experienced hooper. Beginning students will focus on core rhythm and traveling before integrating a working knowledge of basic ‘on’ and ‘off-body’ moves. Intermediate and advanced students will focus on the skillful fusion of circuits and combinations to create moving context for trick and technique, with options to create a doubles/multiple hoop practice.
Come to build skills, have fun, and make friends. Hooping is for everyone!
