Our Story
Hoop Montréal was born from Dominique’s passion for hula hooping, and the acquisition of the hula hoop section of Studios Vert Prana. Our mission is to promote the art of hula hooping, to contribute to its development, and above all to accomplish all of this with happiness and respect. What motivates us is not profit, but being able to earn a living doing something we are passionate about, and also providing the opportunity for other hula hoop enthusiasts to do the same.
Hoop Montreal’s teaching methods are based on a tradition of teaching hula hoop that goes back more than 10 years. We are proud to have developed a unique program for training instructors and all our teachers are trained to offer a uniform pedagogy and professional quality teaching.
In addition to offering regular classes, we welcome renowned hula hoop artists each year to offer special workshops. We have developed a new class, Hoop Fitness, which combines the benefits of a fitness session with the fun of hula hooping. We invest in the community by offering free open practices throughout the year and by organizing special events such as Nuit blanche à Montréal and World Hoop Day.
Hula hoop making is also a tradition that dates back to Studios Vert Prana. Originally made in a few steps and in a very artisanal way, Pierre used his expertise in product development to review the design and manufacturing techniques. Our hoops are still handcrafted with love and care, but the continuous improvement of tools, methods and components ensures consistent quality and exceptional performance.
We have also developed several new products, such as polypro hoops, collapsible, sectional and multi-size hoops, and we continue to innovate to offer a range of products that can satisfy the most demanding.
Hoop Montreal is the number one destination in Quebec for hula hoop. Do not hesitate to contact us, it is with great pleasure that we will answer all your questions or receive your comments!
We are a family business built on passion. Passion for hula hoop, but also passion for impeccable service and a job well done.

Already hooked up on circus arts, Fanny picked up her first hula-hoop in 2014. She started taking classes in 2015 and never put it down ever since.
