Hi, all!

For context, I moved from a major city with plenty of studios to a quieter area with just one. I'd heard in my old studios that they disallow daisy chains altogether, and it's usually something people say they'd avoid if a studio used them.

I moved out here and this studio uses them pretty extensively. I've even requested if I could have the daisy chain on my hoop during class removed, but the studio owner didn't understand why and insisted it was fine. I've looked it up but I'm still not entirely sure I understand the science/physics behind it. I want to understand at a more holistic level as to why it's not favored when rigging an apparatus. Kind of like an Explain-like-I'm-five moment. 😓 Apologies, I truly just want to be able to express my own discomfort with my teacher, especially since every time I do get a hoop with a daisy chain, I feel less secure.

It's the only studio out here, so I'm not 100% sure what to do. It's why I've also stopped training drops--I feel really uneasy!

Thanks so much for anyone who's kind enough to educate me!

Hi! As the title says, I made my first big mistake at work (client-facing) and now I'm really anxious. I woke up to my boss asking me if I had gotten approval for a client assignment that went public and I realized that I was rushing and didn't get external approval, only internal, and I clicked publish by accident. This was a few hours before my actual shift, and now I'm waiting to sit on a call with my boss in a few hours.

I responded right away, took it down, and apologized profusely. I'm also looking into installing a new system for specific client approvals that don't slot in with our regular approvals, and I've told my boss this. I just feel bad because he said he has our backs, but there are no excuses for publishing client stuff without approval. I totally get it, I thanked him for having our backs, and I told him I am ready to take full responsibility for the oversight.

I just feel terrible because I had been doing really well at this job and I really like it, plus my boss is really cool and nice - the nicest I've had, so I don't want to mess this up. I didn't want to hide behind any excuses either with my boss, so I just apologized for the incident and offered a solution. But now I'm really nervous. We just dealt with a major typhoon and earthquake where I am, and I was pretty rattled and now this is adding to that rattled, anxious feeling.

Just want some advice. I already gave my boss a potential solution and told him I'm happy to install extra guardrails in place so it doesn't happen again, and that I'm happy to also apologize to the client directly for the oversight. Advice around maybe what I can do moving forward as well as how I can deal with this anxiety (already took my anxiety medication, thankfully) would be much-appreciated. I know that overtly dwelling on mistakes is harmful and is more than just reflecting, but I also want to ensure that I really learn from this and take it seriously.

Thanks so much.

Hi, all!

As the title implies, I'm struggling with tucking my knees to chest to hook onto the top bar of the hoop. I have a shorter than average wingspan so I'm already working with limited space between my body and the top bar, and I've got a pretty big chest so tucking my knees all the way is sometimes difficult because I either get smothered by my boobs or I struggle to make space for everything in that area as I tilt back.

Still working on core power so the strength will come eventually where I don't have to step, but does anyone have tips for this kind of body type?

I also want to get to skin the cat without stepping. I've been doing hoop for about 2 years now and I am decently strong (I can shoot up to the spanset no problem from seated) but I'm still struggling with some invert work where my hips go up higher than my head and I have to get my legs over.

Thanks so much!

Hello!

Looking for a space for a gathering, 30 people max, that isn't a full-on events space since maraming events spaces are for 100+ people hahaha. Thinking if it's better to reserve a restaurant or kung meron mang resto na may space din sa loob/private room or something.

Thank you so much!
