A guide and facilitator of transformation.
You help people shift from tense to relaxed, anxious to spacious, heavy to light.
One of the best ways you can cultivate your craft and increase your impact, whilst contributing to your confidence and refining your message, is to gain experience creating lesson plans.
Lesson plans define your class and identify a rhythm and learning trajectory for your message.

This is an experiential masterclass.
You will receive a sample lesson plan and will be guided to create your own during our time together.
- Sample lesson plan for creating a new moon themed movement class

About HoopYogini™
Created by Jocelyn Gordon, HoopYogini™ is a holistic fitness practice that combines hula hooping with hatha yoga and mindfulness meditation. The practice utilizes the modern adult-size hula hoop for flow, self-awareness and as a functional fitness tool to strengthen and stretch the body. Stretching with the hoop in familiar hatha yoga patterns releases mental and physical tension, develops present-moment awareness, and affirms healthy beliefs and actions. "Transformation can be fun" is the core belief infused in this dynamic, accessible and joy-filled practice. HoopYogini™ is doctor approved.
