Betty Shurin a.k.a. Betty Hoops is considered
to be one of the most sought after teachers and trainers of Hoop
Dance. She has been pioneering the larger, heavier hoop as an effective
tool for weight loss and mind, body therapy since 1998. Turning
Americas’ favorite past time into a fun sport, she continues
set the industry standard for safe and effective hoops and programs.
“My passion is to educate and inspire others to feel great in their body
and soul. Discovering one’s own potential is empowering. I teach people
to teach themselves. Whether through Yoga or Hoop Dance, I focus on techniques
that make sense. Dancing has moved me through life’s challenges. It makes
me feel sexy, strong and connected to others. To be able to share that with others
is exciting.”
The Hoop Dance 101™ program is based in Body Mechanics, Body Energetics,
Sport Training, Aerobics, Dance and three forms of Yoga.
Hoop Warriors™ was born in 2001 following Betty’s move to NY, one
month after 9/11. This children’s fitness ed. program has been effective
in a number of schools throughout the country. The program is adaptable to any
curriculum. It is used for creative movement, dance, physical education and release
from post traumatic stress.
Betty offers training programs and workshops for schools, personal trainers,
group exercise instructors and through corporate fitness and yoga clubs nationally.
Her performances are very unique. Her mission to bring out the child in everyone
is contagious. After her show, she comes into the audience to teach others how
to hoop. “I love coaching people on how to show off to friends and guests.
You can’t imagine the cheers and excitement that come from watching someone
learning to hoop in front of a few hundred people at a cocktail party.”
Betty has also created 2 cross sports; Hoop Running and Hoop Snowboarding. She
has set the World Record for distance and speed Hoop Running and broken it by
over 30 minutes. Featured in the 2008 Guinness Book of World Records, she continues
to Hoop Run the same race every year, fundraising for different charities. Her
winter sport is Hoop Boarding on all level ski runs.
She was signed with Gaiam, a leading yoga company, to design and produce the “4
Rhythm Hoop Dance Workout” DVD and the Collapsible Dance Hoop. Together
they produced what thousands are saying is the best collapsible hoop in America.
Her spiritual approach to Hoop Dance has earned her the nickname “The Zen
Hoop Master.” Betty drew upon her years of experience as a yoga teacher,
massage therapist and a Reiki practitioner to create a variety of courses. Her
belief is that every hoop is a prayer wheel. She uses the hoops’ vortex
as a transformational tool for mind and body healing. In July of 2008, during
a seminar in Aspen, CO Betty presented His Holiness the Dalai Lama, with her
collapsible Dance Hoop. She wrote the Heart Sutra in Sanskrit gold ink around
the outside thus turning her hoop into a prayer in which can spin around the
waist.
