Do you feel like it’s time to inject some fun, fitness and flow into your world?
Needing to tone up, tune in and take some time out for you?
This class will get the body moving and grooving with a hula hoop.
If you are looking for new ways to get fit, relax, have fun, connect with other awesome people and play, then Hoop Sparx classes are for you!
Our hula hoop classes are a combination of inspiration, fitness, tech, flow, play and dance. Classes include instruction, practice and challenges for everyone at all levels.

b) part of a really awesome community
c) getting toned without even noticing you're doing a workout
d) giggling more
e) surprising yourself at what your body can do
f) having more fun and joy in your world
Each term runs for 8 weeks and each class focuses on different moves, tricks, drills, transitions and concepts. Classes don’t add on to each other so you can join at any time although, people who come more regularly do start to get comfortable in the hula hoop and begin to pick things up a little quicker. 
About the facilitator:
Donna Sparx is a professional hula hoop dancer who is passionate about bringing the dance into the hoop and sharing the freedom found in play and flow. Recognised globally for her creativity, innovation, flow facilitation and playful approach, she has shared the hoopla with thousands of people aged 2 to 72!

REIKI courses being offered from March 2021 onwards with Deborah Dalziel of Melbourne Reiki Centre. See details below.
Reiki is a gentle, effective energy healing method, which treats the whole individual, not just the symptoms of a Dis-Ease. With Reiki the practitioner acts as a conduit for the healing energy of the universe to flow through his/her hands to the individual or animal, causing a shift toward health at the deepest levels. It restores balance and harmony to a person or animal’s entire being: physical, mental, emotional, and/or spiritual. Reiki can also be used to accelerate personal growth and healing and as importantly can be a practise for maintaining wellness.
The beauty of Reiki as a healing system is that it is simple, non-invasive, and stress-free, yet highly effective. All courses will be run in a Covid-safe manner as per Government Guidelines. If you are read to self heal then come join us.
