It’s mentally challenging. Spiritually speaking, it will wake you up. Tracey Oliveto owned Yoga Bliss Studio in Raleigh, and has been teaching yoga since 1996. She is trained in Iyengar and Ashtanga methods, and yoga therapy, and has studied with many senior teachers, including David Swenson, Tim Miller, Nancy Gilgoff, David Williams and others.

10 Class Pass cost: $12

Today’s hoop is more than a children’s toy from yesterday. Our hoops are adult-sized, making them easier to use, thereby opening up possibilities of dance and meditation- as well as fitness- for both men and women. Hooping provides an excellent aerobic workout that strengthens the core, increases flexibility, balance, rhythm and body awareness, and clears the path to creative self-expression. For some, Hooping is dance with resistance. For others, Hooping is a rhythmic exchange of grace and strength. In this class, students will learn the fundamental movements and theories of Hooping from two instructors. Hoops will be provided for class, custom hoops available for sale.
