Isolation is probably everyone's favorite trick to watch, and I'm going to teach you how to do it.
Okay. So you're going to start with the hoop in front of you, in the vertical plane. You want the top of the hoop to be slightly above the top of your head, and the bottom of the hoop to be about your belly button height. If you have a hoop that's much, much larger than mine, mine is about 32 inches in diameter, which is pretty small for waist hooping, but really great for learning isolations, and you might want to try a smaller hoop just for this trick, to learn it, and then graduate to your larger hoop once you get the motion of it. So I've got the top of my hoop slightly above the top of my head, bottom of the hoop bellybutton height, and it's centered with my chest. So the center of the hoop, notice where the center of your hoop is, should be right in front of your heart, or right below, right below your chin, depending on your height, and then just put your hand there to kind of get an idea of where the center of your hoop is.
From there I would like you to focus on keeping your shoulder about at that center point. What I want you to imagine is that your shoulder is the center point of this wheel, and that your arm is the spoke turning the wheel around. Okay, so we'll start here, hoop in this position, hand at 6:00, the bottom of your hoop, keeping your shoulder at the center point, begin to rotate the hoop, or rotate your hand, rather, on the inside of the hoop, without allowing it to drop, keeping that center point nice and stationary. I have a pretty strong grip on the hoop with my hand to keep that position. So practicing just the bottom part of this isolation to start.
Then once you feel comfortable with that, you're going to see where your hand meets, 10:00 and 2:00, 10:00, 2:00. Obviously your shoulder flexibility has a lot to do with how high up you can go. When your hand reaches that 10:00 point, you're leading with my thumb, I'm going to hold the hoop here so just to show you this motion, you're going to release the hoop, allow it to roll across the back of your hand, and then grab at 2:00 with the pinky side of your hand. Continue the circle down, release at 10:00, roll across the 12:00, grab at 2:00, and then continue the circle. You can reverse the direction. It's really difficult to do this slowly, so don't be discouraged if this is not working right away. Once you start building momentum, it will be a little bit easier to keep that floaty motion.
Now if you notice that the hoop is doing this whenever you're rolling, what's happening is your hand is now at your center point, and the hoop is rotating around it, so it's more and more motivation to really crank your arm all the way around the edge of your circle. Practice both directions, switch hands, like this both hands, starting with that bottom part motion.
And that's how you do a basic hula hoop isolation.

Woohoo, mama is going to learn this to impress the littles and tone up these arms! Awesome tutorial!

[@derpface5156]

I practice Isolation in about 2 years so if you are struggling don't worry about it, it takes a long time practice. And plus it's really hard because you need a strong arm but hey, we know you're gonna be rocking those guns ;P

[@palafoxfamily1962]

Nia Rasidi thanks your very supporting

[@brookebutler6135]

I'm having a really hard time with this. and its my first trick im trying to learn. my hand just isnt moving around the hoop. I really dont understand :(

[@getmypastamasta8670]

I have been doing it for 3 years and I could never learn

[@Hippielove84]

great job breaking it down, you make it look so easy!!! im gonna need to practise this some more! thank you

[@tracyventimiglio9953]

wow, watching this in 2019, this is like 6 yrs old! older than my little brother!

[@urmom-fu5kt]

I havnt totally figured it out but i just wanted to say it really helps if you look in a mirror while you do it so you can see if your shoulder is in the center

[@JP-flower]

I really want to start hula hooping I know it's hard but you make it look so easy.... GREAT TUTORIAL

[@frozenheartsmelt15]

This is probably one of the best video tutorials I have come across so far for this trick. Thank you! Now I just need to work on my arm strength. haha.

[@kaydencebloomfield4059]

This is really helping me I am starting to know how now I'm so happy I found these videos😊I can't wait till I master it

[@sakiohma6858]

I think my hoop is too heavy for this :( I can't hold it up with one arm.

[@dackjanielsmeup]

I have to use a much lighter one! Don't give up:3

[@jasminetownes5280]

I got it eventually. But yes, I had to get a lighter hoop. But not too light because the light weight hoops made it too easy to spin around my hand

[@audreyelizabeth2370]

A lighter hoop works but you also have to do other activities to build up your arm muscles.

[@vanslife441]

mine too

[@chanelclipston1557]

sakiohma xx Lol! Yup, my hoop kept tipping over from the top

[@kandy73249]

You do a great job giving instructions!

[@nasty_otter]

A LOT of practice. I'm a beginner, I'm still learning to perfect this trick but I've realized as a beginner my grip/ability to control the hoop isn't going to be as strong/easy at first compared to how easy she makes it look in the video since she's probably been doing this for years. or at least a few months lol. don't give up yall! we can do it

[@ramakota2278]

Very nice clear explanation Thank you very much for sharing

[@iridescentelegance]

It took a bit of practice, but I'm pretty good at this now! Thanks!

[@bethmoreland2555]

I cannot for the life of me get the hand rolling thing down. the hoop seems to swing left to right and my wrist and hand seem all out of sorts and unable to grasp the hoop. any suggestions?

[@kellihamilton2757]

[@cazwellover]

Awesome.

[@soulesoterico]

Muito bom!

[@aquafinner1505]

My hands are sticking on the hoop and not moving... What to do?

[@sreemoyeebiswas5867]

can isolation be done with a wavy hoop? i have this big hoop which has waves on the inside and I'm not being able to roll over my hand at the top.

[@janelludoa3830]

Its very cool how it makes it look like it is floating in the air and your hand is running along it

[@classeswithsonal]

:* I love it..

[@yourdadisunreal]

thanks! :)

[@madisonstephens5945]

[@jericoapuli3294]

that hula hoop is floating lol

[@phonixd1941]

Jerico Apuli nope

[@ngairepalmer6631]

i can't seem to get a nice fluid motion.. I'm unable to swing it steady without moving up and down !! not sure if this has to do with my ability or the hoop itself. mine is homemade out of pvc tube i think 1/2 inch

[@FrauStormm]

Ngaire Palmer it takes time to get flow down and perfect the technique!!! the longer you practice the more fluid it will get :)

[@mackenziehaley8734]

Cool

[@mariellamallari3633]

i did this trick !!

[@derpface5156]

+DottieArtist you should show your talent, don't keep it to yourself because I know this trick is hard

[@ash81818]

+DottieArtist don't be bitter

[@sharkidoor]

Nia Rasidi who is dottie artist?

[@annacallisto7491]

I just got my hoop yesterday and it's a hdp dance hoop which measures to my belly button. But I can't do this trick because my hoop seems to be too heavy and wobbles way to much :/ I can't just go get a lighter one, it's so expensive :(

[@Richyfooo]

I DID IT!!!!!!!

[@kikicurrie1442]

+richard chuong Awesome! XD

[@anyways9662]

this is so hard ugh

[@sanazakeri2947]

how do you smoothly move your hand without getting your hand stuck to the hoop? (P.S. please answer FAST because im doing this for school

[@aggieburt2699]

+Lili Zakeri I'm doing this for school too! Try to keep your shoulders back and stand up straight :D

[@AlluraJayne]

2021🙌🏼🔥🤩

[@madisonholey7348]

Is she rotating it with her hand or rotating the hoop????

[@avicetbedward7006]

Sweeeet!

[@oliviaffox]

I still can’t do it lol

[@NoApparryleDarryle]

Same here dude

[@hulavibez]

My hoop is moving more than my arm is😢. I think it's too light but if it's any heavier it will be even harder to keep from wobbling 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

[@ursulagoodwin9161]

I have a plastic solid one so its to heavy and also it's a bit bent and not completely circle so I can't do it poopsoloops

[@aishkhan7972]

Is she moving hula or she just moved her hand around huka???

[@luckyducky7173]

I cant balance the hoop on the back of my hand to grab it. My hoop id 35 in.

[@surajSharma-us4sx]

can anyone please say me that a hula hoop of 18 inch is big enough or not

[@ayye_itz_ashes1346]

hey I think we have the same Nicholas

[@geemonayyy]

[@alyssamathews03]

[@vanslife441]

[@lanafire465]

do u need a special hoop?

[@jenjerman5650]

How do I get the hoop not to like swingdown???????

[@derpface5156]

You held the hoop in mid air, picture it as a steering wheel. You are the connector between the circle, trust me it took me a while and by that I mean 2 years so just be patient :)

[@sharkidoor]
