Eshna is a Hoop Dancer Teacher, Expressive Art Therapist,
and the creative force behind Hoop Flo.
She has conducted workshops globally, taught at numerous hoop conventions, and spearheaded Hoop Flo tours across India, helping to popularize this growing art form in her country.
As a Nike catalyst, she has collaborated with several brands, enhancing her visibility and influence in the dance community.
Her hoop style is a funky blend of dance genres including hip hop, house, and dancehall, influenced by martial arts like capoeira, ancient practices of yoga, and her genuine love for all kinds of music.
Eshna's teaching approach is grounded in fostering an atmosphere of comfort, safety, with a touch of playfulness, spontaneity and a nudge to live in the moment.
We can´t wait to learn from her during
this week long retreat here in Lofoten in March.
Your host, snowshoe guide and hoop instructor

the Hoop N Hike retreat.
Since then she has hosted 7 retreats all together.
The first Winter retreat happened in 2024 and now she is more than excited to welcome you to the second one.
For 2025 a dream is coming through when Eshna Kutty is coming all the way from India to be
the main hula hoop instructor.
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,
also first timers on snow.
Elisabeth glimmers when she can share
her passion with others,
and can't wait to have you here!
Doing hula hooping in the arctic has brought some attention to Elisabeth and her business.
