My attendance at the Southern Oregon Coast hoop retreat was absolutely wonderful. I cannot say enough about how positive my entire experience was from start to finish. The instructors were so patient, kind, and knowledgeable and are gifted in teaching the art of hooping to all levels. There were other various options of classes to partake in such as yoga and a chakra dance.
The property is absolutely gorgeous and the accommodations were so comfortable and welcoming. The meals provided were all deliciously homemade and healthy.
Em Robbins does a phenomenal job of hosting this wonderful retreat. I look forward to attending the next one.

I attended the Coastal Hoop Retreat for the first time in 2022. Upon registering I had no idea what to expect, I just knew that the retreat looked like a lot of fun and a great way to build my hoop community as well as enjoy some time on the beach. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this retreat FAR exceeded my expectations in every possible way and was forever life changing.
I had been in a dark place mentally and emotionally and was in dire need of community and love. What I found at this retreat was all of that and so much more. I found my life long soul tribe and forever friends that continue to shower me in love on a daily basis. More than that I found my love for myself.
This retreat was more than just a TON of fun, it was spiritually uplifting and left me feeling whole again.
I will be forever grateful to Em for hosting such an incredible event that literally set my life on fire (in the best of ways), and for doing such an amazing job feeding us such delicious food!
This retreat was life changing and I cannot wait to come back.

This retreat is magical! The location is stunning and the community is so welcoming. As a shy introvert attending for the first time was definitely outside my comfort zone. Meeting this group of passionate and supportive women was life changing for me. If you want to make friends with other flow artists this is the place to do it! I always leave feeling inspired with new moves and a deep sense of connection with our little community. Em is an all out superstar: amazing hostess, organizer, and cook. She accommodates my vegan diet fabulously. This weekend is nourishing for the mind, body, and soul. I am so grateful for the opportunity to attend, and I can not wait to go back!"

A certified Hoop Love Coach, Michelle has been dancing with hoops for nearly a decade. She loves the joy and emotional release that she experiences when hoop dancing and has developed a strong skill-set that she excitedly shares with others. She views hooping as a tool for therapeutic self-expression, meditation, and creativity. Her hoop style is often described as dancey, graceful, and flowy.

Hi I'm Amanda, and I’m your photographer. I believe the shame that society puts on our human form is misguided and keeps up from being our fullest self. There are few things more liberating than to feel safe to express and fully be in our bodies. Let’s return to ourselves and this miraculous earth we inhabit, shall we?
I will be offering private photo shoots during the retreat (for additional fee).
I am also offering a Vocal Alchemy workshop, It’s said that our voice is as unique as our finger prints. A particular vibration that only you carry…. how special is that?
Our voice is at the core of Vocal Alchemy. The essence of this offering is to liberate our ourselves from suppressed tension, grief, anger, and sadness through sound. breath, movement, and vocalization that will support us in freeing our voices and transforming any stuck energy that is ready to GO!
