Our story
Live in the moment. Love what you do. Hoop all the time!
Since 2008, we at LiveLoveHoop have been sharing our love of hula hooping with the world. We believe anyone can enjoy the incredible health and wellbeing benefits that hooping has to offer, whether you’re 4 or 94.
If you’re up for having a laugh, being a little bit silly, and meeting lovely people then you’re going to love what we do!
You can join our wonderful hoop classes, book us for all sorts of fun entertainment or train up as a hoop teacher yourself. And you can check out what we are up to on our blog.
Our founder – Jo Mondy
Jo Mondy started hooping in Australia in 2007 and her love of the hoop encouraged her to pack in her day job, get her hoop teacher training certification and start her company LiveLoveHoop.
She moved to the UK in 2010 and has since taught thousands of students how to hula hoop and built a strong and vibrant local hoop community in Brighton, England (which won Hoop Community of the year in 2013).
In 2015, Jo was named one of Brighton’s happiest residents and selected as a Brighton and Hove Happiness Champion, one of the 28 “ordinary people who go above and beyond the call of duty to put smiles on other people’s faces”. She also runs a successful hoop teacher training program inspiring hoopers from the UK and Europe to set up their own hoop businesses.
She is at the forefront of the UK and international hoop scene, teaching at Hoop Camp Retreat California, UK Hoop Gathering, SWHOOP, German Hoop Convention, Swiss Hoop Convention, Spanish Hoop Holiday, Manchester Hoop Congress and other specialised workshops around the country. She also teaches online via popular Youtube tutorials. Jo is also an established performer, who has entertained crowds in the UK, Australia, US and Europe at festivals, clubs, weddings, corporate events and private parties.
Hula hoops are back!
And not like you remember them. Today’s hula hoops are designed for adults – larger and heavier – and can give you a full body workout, a new way to dance and a chance for you to rediscover your inner child.
Hooping is becoming more and more popular at gyms, festivals and even with celebrities like Michelle Obama, Beyonce and Kelly Clarkson, as a way to get fit and have fun at the same time.
Hooping will:
• Give you a great cardio workout. Burn up to 210 calories in 30 mins
• Tone your abs, arms, thighs and butt
• Develop your balance and hand-eye coordination
• Increase your flexibility
• Calm your mind and relieves stress with rhythmic circular motion
• Make you laugh as you rediscover your inner child
