About me
Hi, I’m Osha
Welcome! My name is Osha and I am the face behind Flowsha. In the last 6 years hooping has quickly become a way of moving through life for me. Since trying hula hooping for the first time nearly a decade ago, I slowly began exploring movement as a personal practise, using music and my own emotions to guide my expression and curiosity, and most importantly to connect with myself both physically and mentally.
Attending hoop classes, events, and gatherings over the years I have seen the incredible joy that the growing hoop community has spread throughout the world and realised I wanted to be a part of sharing that excitement with others and encouraging people to play with these plastic circles that have brought so much meaning to my own life.
As a former professional dancer and current aerial hoop artist and hula hoop teacher, my obsession with movement and circles never ceases to bore me. My style of teaching is relaxed and playful, utilising music and student’s curiosity to encourage them to explore what feels good and to lean into the types of tricks and movement that delights both their body and brain.
Through Flowsha, I aim to create welcoming spaces where people can feel free to express themselves, experiment, and learn things they would never expect to with a hula hoop! Whether you’re picking up a hoop for the first time or exploring new ways of moving with your hoop/s, my classes are an open door to new experiences.
No experience, coordination, or any pressure to be good required. Just curiosity and a willingness to play!
My teaching style
My classes are relaxed and low-pressure. There’s no such thing as being “good” at it, just space to mess about, try things and move how feels right. Expect a lot of laughing, plenty of encouragement, and no rush.
