Welcome to the HoopYogini™ Online Teacher Training

A 200HR CERTIFICATION JOURNEY

My Name is Jocelyn Gordon

CREATOR OF HOOPYOGINI™ AND BHAKTI BOOGIE® YOGA


HoopYogini™ came through me ten years ago in that beautiful season with the hoop where you just can’t get enough hoop time. I was fully immersed in the flow and movement arts as a Massage, Yoga & Dance Therapist and through my three-hour daily hoop dance sessions, a portal opened, showing me the profound and holistic nature of the hoop.

IN THESE MOMENTS, I REALIZED THAT THE HOOP...
  • Provides a delightful circulation enhancing massage
  • Became a biofeedback tool that immediately informed my level of presence or distraction 
  • Teaches boundary setting and energetic self-care
  • Was a beautiful ally for stretching and strengthening the body, whilst finding center in heart and soul. 

In these precious moments, HoopYogini™ was born and in 2014, I began teaching others how to deepen into the center of Self and to radiate this connection as teachers, dancers, and humans.

In this training and empowerment journey, you will be guided to establish yourself - to create space in mind, home and life for a daily practice that takes you to your core and roots you to your center so you can guide others into the strength of their being.

WHAT IS HOOPYOGINI™?

HoopYogini™

combines hula hooping with yoga and mindfulness meditation.

HoopYogini™ is a Holistic Conditioning experience that utilizes the modern adult-size hula hoop for flow, self-awareness and as a functional fitness tool to strengthen and stretch the body.

HoopYogini™ explores the organic relationship between the spontaneous spiral experience of hoop dance and the more linear and direct technology of hatha yoga.

The circular nature of the hoop gently encourages movement, freedom of expression, conscious daydreaming (a lost art for most adults!) and improved range of motion.

Stretching with the hoop in familiar hatha yoga patterns releases mental and physical tension, develops present-moment awareness, and affirms healthy beliefs and actions.

Genevieve Mac

HoopYogini™ Certified Instructor

"I love From the Core! What a great workout! I'm also loving this as a daily practice. Feeling so much more grounded in my flow and daily life."

Erika Machuca

HoopYogini™ Certified Instructor & Mentor

"Before HoopYogini, I had fallen off with a consistent daily seated meditation. Maintaining this has helped me connect to my breath and body via mindfulness."

The Seven Holistic Components of HoopYogini™

BREATH & BODY

Learn the anatomy of respiration and how the hoop can assist in the re-education of the breath through direct massage and intelligent stretching with the hoop. Explore an overview of the different systems of the body and how the HoopYogini™ practice can improve health, immunity and mood.

SPINE & MOVEMENT

Learn the six movements of the spine and understand how to encourage full range of motion for structural, emotional and energetic health.

ENERGY & INTENTION

Explore energetic anatomy - the energy centers, sheaths and layers through which you can access your energetic empowerment. Develop the ability to infuse intention into your classes and learn how to direct your students to be present in each moment.

MEDITATION & INTEGRATION

Learn how to develop a daily movement and meditation practice that drops an anchor into your intuition and wisdom. It is from this space that you guide your students into a calm and expansive state of awareness.

LANGUAGE & LEADERSHIP

Learn how to develop a daily movement and meditation practice that drops an anchor into your intuition and wisdom. It is from this space that you guide your students into a calm and expansive state of being. Gain specific guidance and templates on how to instruct your students with language that inspires and communicates safety. Learn how to speak to the individual experience even within a group class. Guide your students on how to take the benefits of their HoopYogini™ practice into each aspect of their lives. 

SETS & SEQUENCES

Integrate the above through intelligent sequencing. Included are waist hooping and off body (the hoop held in the hands) sequences that explore the hoop as a resistance and weight bearing tool to stretch and strengthen the body.

ALCHEMY & FLOW

Experience ease and grace in the hoop, your dance, meditation, and your life. Develop witness consciousness and observe the magic and creativity that flows within the lives of your students, and from your consistent HoopYogini™ practice.

HoopYogini™ Certified Instructor

"I've learned so much through [the] HoopYogini Online Training that I have to giggle whenever I'm in YTT [yoga teacher training] and hear something I've already learned.  Finally did some practice teaching in YTT last weekend and let's just say I nailed tadasana."

Teffanie Thompson

"I love the movements of module 3 and the direct tie-in to some of my favorite yoga postures. I love when putting all together with the modules in order can create an actual class model with warm-up, class, and cool down with stretches."

Isamar Gonzalez 

HoopYogini Certified Instructor & Mentor

“I started hooping when my daughter was a toddler. I wanted to get back in shape and hooping helped. I discovered Jocelyn and HoopYogini in 2014, took the training and I’ve never looked back - the circle is an integral part of my life, art and mission. HoopYogini gave me direction and focus. It became a way to get fit and to explore my sensuality through a structure and daily discipline. It also became a way to make an income and support my daughter through my company, Hula Nation. I am now making a global impact and creating a non-profit which focuses on helping impoverished communities learn new skills that will help them pay for education and economically empower their children and forthcoming generations. (The Circle of Life).

Certification is delivered upon successful completion of online coursework and quizzes (reviews provided each week within the course), turning in assignments, and satisfactory demonstration of teaching within our community Facebook group (options for other platforms if you are not on Facebook). 

Successful demonstration of your teaching ability will be expressed through two videos that you’ll be required to submit. Your HoopYogini™ Master Trainer will review and return feedback on your teaching.  

Within our private Facebook group, you will also post two videos of yourself engaged in Alchemy & Flow - you linking each move and posture into a flowing dance. You will receive a global round of applause from your peers in our certification tribe.

You will teach & guide

Transformative movement meditation experiences with and without the hoop

Seated, standing and moving mindfulness meditations

Lifestyle
Embody Center 

This training provides you with the tools, guidance and encouragement to cultivate a daily movement and meditation practice. 

With the hoop representing life’s changes and challenges, you learn how to stand, sit, move and be in the center - the still point observing life’s dance.

With the resources you gain from a daily return to your practice, you begin to prioritize self-care, embody your center, and more graciously respond rather than react to triggers and uncertainties.

 

 

 

 

Leadership
Find Your Voice & Teach From Your Core

The Seven Holistic Components of HoopYogini give you a template for first engaging in your own personal practice and then expressing empowerment through your voice, energy, words and sequencing.

You integrate what we call “Oppositional Languaging” which creates a cadence and rhythm for your student/s to let go, tune inwards and connect with their inner resources. This powerful and unique approach can also be applied to traditional hatha yoga classes and guided meditations. 

With our core belief that “transformation can be fun,” your certification empowers you to transmit your wisdom and inspiration through hoop dance, hatha yoga stretches and sequences assisted by the hoop, and guided meditations.

Love
Cultivate Self-Love & Community Support 

Our global community of inspired teachers and trainees frequently comment on the strong energy of encouragement and positivity they experience within the certification circle. 

Mentors, students and peers have become friends despite timezone and cultural differences.

The circle visually represents a container of compassion and the hoop represents the sacred web of life of which we are all connected. 

Consciously remembering your presence within the hoop (and dance of life) connects you with a vast network of love, support, and awe.
