What’s up, Louisville?

I am very excited to unveil my new workshop series, The Warrior Path on the weekend of November 13th-15th, 2009. The Warrior Path is a brand new workshop with new terms, techniques, and exercises intended to introduce hoopers to what we call “Warrior” style hooping. This concept combines on and off body techniques with rapid current and plane changes. The Warrior Path techniques are integrated with internal, meditative foci, as well, to help the hooper open up to their own stillness and clarity.

The HoopPath has taught Warrior techniques since its inception, but this will be the first time that we have concentrated this much time and energy on this wonderfully beautiful and unique approach to hoop dance. We assure you that even those who have taken HoopPath classes and workshops before will come away with new terms and concepts to further their own hoop practice. This is indeed the long awaited second chapter so many of you have asked for over the last year.

Within the HoopPath Community, the term, “Warrior” refers to an indomitable attitude or spirit to which each of us has access and, through mindful practice, can foster and grow within ourselves. The techniques of The Warrior Path help us to explore and develop an inner calm and resilience that strengthens and improves our hoop dance, while also teaching us more about our own personal power away from the hoop.

While this workshop is very much a continuation of our past workshops, we have designed this series to be equally accessible to those who have never taken an HP class before. If you have not taken a workshop with us before, you will need to sign up for Day One. Day one of WP will be very similar to Day One of our other workshops. If you have not been to one of our workshops before, you should know that the skills covered in Day One are hardly ‘beginner.’ Day One sets up the terms, concepts, and foundational techniques upon which all the advanced teaching rests. Day One is easily the favorite day of most returning students.The tickets for this workshop are offered in a variety of packages. Sometimes when we travel, we have had such little space that we have been unable to offer any discounts. This time around we are very excited to have a space large enough that we can offer essentially “specials.”

Here are a list of our options for HP: Louisville:

Days 1, 2, and 3

Days 1 and 2

Days 2 and 3 (For returning students).

Single Day tickets for all 3 days will go onsale on Monday, 11/9/09.

We are VERY excited to offer, for the first time in Louisville, “Bring a Friend” pricing. This means that when you and a buddy buy your tickets (two tickets) together (in one transaction) your individual tickets are discounted. If you bring 2 friends (3 tickets total) you receive an even greater price break. **Please note that you will select the “Bring-A-Friend” option to purchase TWO passes for the selected days, or THREE passes if you select “Bring-2 Friends.” These tickets are non-refundable, so make sure that your friends are committed before purchasing.

If you can only make one of the three days, don’t worry, we will be selling single day tickets beginning Monday, November 9th.

If you have attended a HoopPath workshop before and you are purchasing an “individual” ticket, enter the code “back home” to receive a 10 percent discount. This discount does not apply to other “Bring-a-friend” discounts.

IF you cannot attend Saturday, but would like to attend Friday and Sunday, simply purchase “Day 1 &2″ and let me know on Friday that you will not be attending Saturday. If you have any questions, feel free to write me at baxter@hooppath.com.
