| BIO | ||
Anne Dellinger, Licensed HoopGirl teacher, Certified Yoga Instructor, and Licensed Holistic Skin Therapist pulls from her vast experience in education and health sciences to deliver clear and inspiring instruction. She also holds a B.S. in Physical Education with an Outdoor Education emphasis and minor in Health/Fitness. After graduating Anne pursued her career as an Environmental /Outdoor Educator and led backpacking, climbing and canoeing expeditions for Outward Bound Schools. During this time she was able to fine tune her teaching and leadership skills, encouraging students to dive deep inside to achieve their goals. Shortly after moving to Colorado, Anne experienced a holistic health awakening. Her Mother, Aunt, and Cousin were diagnosed with breast cancer. Her Mother after going through a double mastectomy survived her battle with the disease but her Aunt and Cousin did not. This left Anne deeply saddened and terrified of her genetic fate. She decided to turn this fear into knowledge and personal power. Yoga, dance, and holistic nutrition began to transform her life and that is when she found the Hoop. "My hoopdance is a holistic health practice. It releases stress and
negative emotions, strengthens every part of the body, stretches the spine,
clears energy, burns calories, is meditative, and puts a smile on my face
and the faces around me. The circulation of blood and energy equals the
circulation of joy! But I never found this joy from running. There is
something about the feeling of moving and dancing within and around the hoop
that is not obtained through other forms of exercise. When I am hooping I
feel like a superstar! It is a beautiful celebration of life. Flowing with
the circular, spiral movement feels amazing and is super sensual and
mesmerizing! This amazing danceform has allowed me to reconnect with my
gymnastics and ballet roots - I always wanted to be a dancer and hooping has
allowed that timid dancer to emerge and spread her wings!" |
