Gremlin Hoop - Freya Pellie

Service Description

Level: Intermediate (with extensions for advanced students and variations for improvers). Let’s get WEIRD! Bendy (and faux-bendy!) hoop tricks for those with an inclination for the odd and a desire to confuse their audience – and occasionally perhaps freak them out a wee bit. Join Freya (@pelliefey) for this contemporary jaunt into the strange and usual side of flex tricks – and those that just lend themselves to a degree of optical illusion. Feeling confined by the conventional elegance of classic aerial? Come writhe and free your inner hoop gremlin. Expect twisty shapes, satisfying transitions, invitations for flexed feet, and a little bit of a brain workout. For bendy friends: extended move variations await. Don’t feel bendy enough? Don’t worry! A lot of the moves in this workshop play into visual illusion and unconventional angles that look way more bendy and organ-relocating than they actually are. You absolutely do NOT need a flat split or the ability to stick your foot on your head for this workshop – but we’ll 100% will help you get freaky with that if you do. Pre-Requisites: (1) 10 second dead hang. (2) Comfortable in double elbow hang. (3) Single elbow hang (or at least actively working towards this). (4) Ability to hang in a horizontal pike position when holding the top of the hoop. (5) Comfortable in double hox/knee hang. If you have any questions about pre-requisites or specific needs/considerations for you or your body, feel free to contact Freya directly via Instagram: @pelliefey. Please wear or bring long sleeves.
