We step into a atmospheric studio during House Of Wow to mark a dozen hula hoops strewn on a floor. Twenty-year-old Eshna Kutty picks 3 of them; any reaches her waist when totalled vertically. She twirls them lazily — one on her waist and dual around her hands.

Hip hoop
We start a hearing event with a simple waist hooping. “Most people whirl their hips when they try waist hooping. That’s wrong.

This also acts as a form of examination as it helps organisation adult your core,” she instructs.

We duplicate her movements and within seconds, a hoop swirls during slightest 4 times before dropping on a floor. Phew, we whine inwardly and squeeze a hoop with a small some-more confidence. “The beauty of upsurge art hula hoop is that it helps we overcome shyness.

We repeat a transformation a few times and soon, we get into a slit and suffer a liquid movements — all but a singular kick of music. “You can rehearse this to any kind of music. The seminar will underline an instrumental playlist,” she adds.

Before a event ends, Kutty teaches us Butt Pass, a fun pierce where we use your derrière to pass a hoop from one side to another. While it looks spacious when she does it, we onslaught to hunker a right way. After a few attempts, we conduct awkwardly. “But it’s good exercise, right?” she smiles. We have to agree.
