Baxter, Hooppaths hooping instructor, relates his story of how he came to hooping and how this form of exercise has allowed him to heal his mind, body, and soul. Baxter gives us a glimpse of how we can learn to center ourselves so that we can live a better and more fulfilling life. There are many paths which we can follow to reach enlightenment. Some may think of this as "awakening our true essence" while others see it as a way to "center ourselves." I find it very interesting that something as simple as a child's toy - the Hoola Hoop - can be used to create a new reality for those who choose to learn the Hooppath way of hooping.
