Instructional Poi and Flow Art DVDs

If you can't make it to a retreat or workshop with us, DVDs can be a great way to replicate the experience at home. We have produced two instructional poi DVDs: The Scales of Poi and Adventures in Poi. They are the culmination of many years of teaching poi to thousands of people. We also offer reviews of our favorite DVDs produced by our favorite poi artists. If you know of a great DVD that you don't see here, please let us know.

The Scales of Poi

Instructional DVD: The Scales of Poi

The Scales of Poi is geared towards intermediate-to-advanced poi artists who want to take their practice to the next level. It is a guided tour through a comprehensive system of exercises and explorations that have a very specific goal: complete freedom of movement and expression.

Adventures in Poi: Moves

Adventures in Poi on DVDBring the Playpoi adventures home! Join Nick in locations around the world as he shares his insight into learning poi.

Adventures in Poi: Moves is produced independently by Playpoi and is packed with intermediate moves and advanced silliness. It's available online from filmbaby.com (basically DIRECT FROM US!), homeofpoi.com, and flowtoys.com!

Encyclo-Poi-dia 2

We have happily received a copy of Encyclo-Poi-dia 2, the new DVD by Zan and Alien Jon. It covers lots of material that neither of the Playpoi DVDs cover. If you want to wrap your head around floaters, inswing, CAPs, and lots more advanced concepts, we highly recommend this DVD!

Poi Spinning Book by Michal Khan

Poi Spinning by Michal KhanPoi Spinning by Michal Khan is probably the best poi-spinning instructional book ever written.

It's a clear progression through the basics of poi, complete with cute illustrations. If you're a book learner, this is the book for you. You can buy this book through homeofpoi.com!

Multiball Contact by Drew Batchelor

Multiball Contact

Proclaimer: It's not a DVD, and it's not poi, but it's good, and it's good for poi.

Multiball Contact offers a way to understand where poi is going. Drew Batchelor's process of visualizing and creating shapes and movement in space is very much what Nick's tried to do with poi.

We recommend reading it and applying the concepts to poi, and we assure you it will make you smarter and sexier and better at anything you choose to do!
