Your hoop instructor of Hoop n Hike '26 is
Aneta Jokesova
Aneta loves traveling, hiking and being in nature and can't wait to join us in Lofoten, a place that has been on her bucketlist.
Aneta is a hoop dance instructor from the Czech Republic with over a decade of experience in the flow arts.
She works mainly with smooth flow and original tricks that naturally connect within movement,
with a current focus on multi hoop manipulation and silk fans.
Aneta creates her own hoop vocabulary, and her distinctive style often inspires others to explore new pathways in their flow.
Alongside teaching, she is the founder of @Hooplanet.cz, where she handcrafts
high-quality props for the international flow arts community.
For the Hoop’n’Hike retreat, Aneta is especially excited about the intimate setting and the connection with nature.
Working with a small group of hoopers allows space for an individual approach, deeper sharing, and time to truly get to know each other — both on and off the hoop. Nature has always been an important part of her life; after spending many years living abroad, hiking and time in the mountains became a natural source of inspiration.
She believes that spending time, moving, and connecting in the Lofoten Islands will be truly special.

Well accustomed to bringing tourists out in to nature, as she worked as a local guide for several years, Elisabeth claims that
snowshoeing is easy to do for anyone,

her passion with others,
