Hooping
Gentle, inclusive hoop-based movement classes for women in the Scottish Borders and Edinburgh. A welcoming space to reconnect with your body through play, breath and joyful exploration.
Move in a way that feels good for you.
Our philosophy
Play is essential.
Movement is medicine.
Embodied Hooping is a movement and wellbeing practice rooted in play, embodiment and accessible exercise. Sessions are designed to help you reconnect with your body — not as something to perform, but as a home to come back to.
You'll learn hooping skills and build gentle strength, but the deeper invitation is toward confidence, creativity, self-expression and the simple, restorative joy of moving for its own sake.
Movement as medicine · Joy as practice · You as you are

About the practice
A welcoming circle, rooted in the Borders
Embodied Hooping is built on the belief that play is an essential part of human wellbeing — and that movement can be a powerful tool for physical health, confidence, connection and emotional wellbeing.
Classes are women-led, trauma-aware and designed for every body. Alongside in-person sessions, we share regular content on movement, embodiment and the importance of play throughout life.
